Weldon news

I have been to Snyder’s! This is an elegant store in the southern Iowa town of Humeston. I can't adequately describe this shop. There are wonderful racks of beautiful women’s clothing, children’s clothes, gifts for every occasion, showers, weddings, birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, home décor and much, much more.
My daughter-in-law, my granddaughter and my great granddaughter (who lives in Kansas City) four generations having a great time shopping for some new fall clothes for me! This was a wonderful experience and we saw some friends and met new ones. The place was busy with people and it is nice to see that it is successful in this town. I usually don't send news about me, but I couldn't resist sharing my afternoon in this unique modern shop. You must go to Snyder’s, it is wonderful experience and I have never seen so many things in a beautiful building housing every item you could possible shop for. Enjoy a step back in time with the friendly, personalized service of Synder's of Humeston.
On the way there, we did see some harvesting of corn being done. Hopefully the farmers will have nice weather this week to get into the fields.
