VFW Post 5366 expresses thanks to everyone who helped make our Christmas dinner a success. A special thanks to AMVETS Post 154 for donating their time to help us clean up and prepare. There were 125 people fed, with plenty of food for all. Thanks again to everyone for all the donations and the time...
After I read the article about building a new Zanoni post office as an investment in the community (“Zanoni post office to reopen in pricey new ‘alternate quarters,’ Times, Jan. 10), I thought April Fool’s Day had come early this year. I live within walking distance of the old Zanoni post office...
Thanks to the owners of Rocky Top Campground at the top of the Tecumseh curves on Highway 160 for having the big, beautiful light display at Christmastime. I couldn’t believe something like that was in Tecumseh! I’m so glad I read about it in the Ozark County Times so that I knew it was up there...
Happy New Year! With God allowing us to live among some very kindhearted folks, we feel our Ozark County Toy Drive of 2017 was a success. I’m always amazed how many people are willing to give money and time, work and effort to make our toy give-away a joy-filled time of year. This is all made...

The Isabella VFW Post 5366 had a great turnout for our Thanksgiving Day dinner; 120 people were fed. A lot stayed afterward and visited and munched on desserts. Everyone thanked us, and several told me they would have spent the day alone and that they were so glad they came. We invite everyone to...
While we welcome the opening of the new James Bridge over the North Fork of the White River, we must take considerable exception to denying individuals the right of access to the river at that long-used site.  For as long as roads have been constructed and bridges built, the public has had and used...
The Isabella VFW Post 5366 will once again serve our annual Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day community dinners. The meals are free to the public. We hold each dinner starting at noon on the day of the holiday. Many people in our area wouldn’t have a holiday dinner or a place to go without these...
