The North Iowa Red Cross will hold a blood drive in Clear Lake Thursday, Nov. 9. Giving blood is simple and easy. Most people who are in good health, weigh at least 110 pounds and are at least 17 years of age are eligible to give blood. A prince and princess will preside over Christmas By The Lake activities again this year in Clear Lake. The Clear Lake Area Chamber of Commerce Christmas By The Lake Committee has announced a Prince and Princess Contest for children ages three to five.
Businesses are limited to sponsoring only one child.
Those children without a sponsoring business will have one assigned to them. The prince and princess will be chosen through a popular vote, with voting sites at sponsoring businesses. Each vote will cost 10-cents. Entrants must be three to five years and must be available to ride in the Dec. 2 Christmas By The Lake parade. Submitted photos should be three by five-inches or larger.
