LINN COUNTY VOTERS RESPOND:
Re-Fund Our Police
On November 2, Linn County voters gave the thumbs up to a four-year law enforcement levy. This levy will provide much-needed financial support to maintain the service level, patrol deputies on the roads, and staff for the jail that Linn County residents are accustomed to.
"We are grateful for the citizens of Linn County who place a priority on safe neighborhoods and communities." - Linn County Commissioner, Roger Nyquist
There are not enough words to explain how grateful I am to the men and women serving our local law enforcement in Linn County. Keep up the great work!

CHRISTMAS STORYBOOK LAND AND LINN COUNTY EXPO:
Christmas Storybook Land is partnering with the Linn County Fairgrounds & Expo Center to make an indoor drive-thru possible for visitor safety. The plan doubles the floor space to 40,000 sq. ft. to accommodate a 25 ft. wide “U” shaped path through the wonderland. This will require a total recreation of the scene floor plan, tree setup, and lighting.
