This week the Mansfield Mirror announced the availablity of free centennial calendars to help commemorate 100 years of journalism in Mansfield, Missouri.

The Mirror plans to note the celebration with a special historical section this Spring featuring Mirror and Mansfield history and vintage photographs.

There will be a special Mansfield Mirror cancellation marking at the Mansfield Post Office.

The Mansfield Historical Society has had a rich display of publications, but has offered additonal exhibit space to the Mirror this year for specific Mansfield Mirror items.

Not to be left to dusty, musty paper, the Mansfield Mirror is available online with RSS feed; right up there with the big boys. Mansfield Mirror

At the Mansfield Chamber of Commerce website and my own regional blog: Ozarks Mountain Country/Ozarks Mystique you will find more information during the year regarding this remarkable and admirable milestone for the Mansfield Mirror. This would be a good year to subscribe to the weekly paper and build a collection of information about the historic Ozarks.

The Ozarks has long attracted people who wanted to live here in the rolling hills that make up the Ozarks Mountains and the Ozarks Plateau where the land is vital and nourishing. The mounain area with swift rivers which now are tamed by dramatic lakes had attracted tourists for generations. The people are hardworking, friendly, but appreciate solitude. If you choose to investigate the Ozarks as a place for your next home, you will find a plethora of talented skilled neighbors who are compassionate and smarter than they may have been given credity for.

Mansfield Home Center is the new name for the former Mansfield Building Supply. We are enjoying some creative, but classy new TV commercials for Mansfield Home Center on local (Springfield, MO) television. We are glad to see aggressive marketing of a good business for Mansfield. I recommend similar alert marketing for other businesses. And for those who wonder, Mansfield is alive and well.

Congratulations on the new moves, Mansfield Home Center. I am complimented to be able to acknowledge you at my other blog, Ozarks Mystique on the OzarksMountainCountry.com website.

There are two other stores connected to Mansfield Home Center in Mansfield, Missouri. They are Ava Home Center and Gainesville Home Center.

If you are thinking of moving to the Ozarks, the smaller towns that are home to the company that owns Mansfield Home Center and the others will be there to greet you and provide you with product and customer service that will match that of any other part of the country.
