A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out and supported Underwood’s Harvest Festival!🍂🧡

We had such a great evening serving drinks, enjoying some great food from Swine-O-Mite, and listening to The Belldings. Thank you to Western Iowa Ice for their generous donation of multiple bags of ice! We’re proud to be part of a community that continues to show up and support our department and local events!

Thank you to everyone who helped make the night possible. We appreciate each and every one of you!

The Underwood Volunteer Fire Department remembers Cathe McKee with gratitude and respect.

Cathe was there in the early days of our department, helping lay the foundation for the organization that continues to serve our community today. Her willingness to give her time and be part of something built for the good of Underwood is a legacy we are proud to remember.

We extend our sincere condolences to Cathe’s family and friends. She will always hold a special place in the history of the Underwood Volunteer Fire Department.

Rest easy, Cathe.
