75th Anniversary of Mineral’s Volunteer Fire Department!!!
Thank you to all of the volunteers throughout the years, as we celebrate the 75th year of the Mineral Volunteer Fire Department! Not only do volunteers respond to local fire incidents, they also support residents and visitors with many types of emergencies. We enjoyed celebrating with you at this year’s pancake breakfast on July 7, 2024.

Beware of the Tennis Courts

Historically there were tennis courts on this property, but now it sits in disrepair. As this property is along one of the most commonly walked roads in and out of Cool Air, take note. Beware of broken fencing and watch to make sure dogs or kids don't end up wandering over while walking by and getting cut.

The Last Big Snow

Walking to the Lodge on May 5th for the weekly breakfast club was a bit easier with snow shoes and poles, after nearly 17" of snow during the past day and night. What a difference a few weeks makes!

Mineral's flowers seem more abundant than ever this year, perhaps due to the recent snows and rain. The colors seem especially vibrant this year! Walk around and see what you think... aren't there more flowers than usual?!
