For years, friends and family had encouraged Rusty and Amy Sickels to take their food hobbies out of their kitchen and onto a retail shelf. This past week, the Independence couple did just that while opening Fireside Meats and Sweets in Wadena.
Located in the former Tony’s Wadena Locker, the new business is currently providing full meat locker services and will soon provide a variety of retail sales of meats, cheeses and homemade baked goods. For additional information, pick up a copy of today's Union. www.fayettecountynewspapers.com

🗳️ Your Voice Matters-especially here at home!
Regular City/School Election

📅 Election Day: TODAY-November 4, 2025
🕘 Polls Are Open Until: 8pm
📍 Where to Vote: Wadena City Hall

🗳️ Why Vote in Your City/School Election?
Voting in local elections is one of the most powerful ways to make a difference in your community. Local elections are often decided by just a few votes. Unlike big national elections, your vote here can truly make the difference!

🏫 School board members decide on classroom resources, school safety, curriculum, teacher support, and how education funds are spent.

🏙️ City leaders decide on zoning, public services, parks, housing, and local taxes.

💡Local officials control school budgets, city services, and public projects.

🤝 When people engage locally—through voting, volunteering, and speaking up—our community grows stronger and more connected.

Make your voice heard.
