Food, music, art, history, class reunions, competitions, kids activities, family gatherings – they are all there for your enjoyment at the 2021 Algona Founders’ Day event that begins Thursday night.
The Founders’ Day Committee, supported by the city of Algona and the Algona Area Chamber of Commerce, has put together an impressive lineup of events for this year’s celebration of all things Algona. It’s a great comeback after last year’s event had to be scrubbed due to gathering concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. We appreciate all of the committee’s efforts, and we particularly appreciate all of the volunteers who have given or plan to give of their time to make sure others have a enjoyable weekend.
The rest is up to us. This event is held as a way for the community to gather, whether it be with local friends and family or with those from far away. If the pandemic has revealed anything, it’s that people need to be with people. Individuals seldom do well in isolation. However, given the extended pandemic period, many people are now less comfortable being around others. This is a structured opportunity for folks to get out and about, be with others and do something they love.
So, go find something you love at Founders’ Day 2021 and enjoy life in Algona. You will be glad you did.
