The Melcher-Dallas Coal Miners Committee and the Melcher-Dallas Fire and Rescue have announced that due to COVID-19 and social distancing regulations, they have decided not to have this year’s Coal Miners Day. However, both the committee and fire department would still like to recognize Coal Miners Day on Saturday, June 27th. 

The Fire Department will have a small local entries only parade at 7 p.m. with the parade route to be announced at a later date. 

The Coal Miners Committee will have fireworks at dusk. The fireworks will be set off at the football field. The gates will be closed as no one will be allowed in, but the committee hopes that residents will be able to enjoy the fireworks from the comfort of their own homes and or personal gatherings.

The Annual Coal Miners Golf Tournament will be held Sunday, June 28th. It will be a shotgun start, with tee times from 8am-10am. Traditional pulled pork meal and free keg will be determined at a later date as the governor continues to clarify restrictions. Anyone interested in participating in the golf tournament is asked to call the Pleasantville Golf and Country clubhouse to reserve their tee time and ask any questions.

To participate in the parade residents are asked to contact Curt Seddon (641) 891-0594. For information regarding the golf tournament call (515) 848-5716
