RHODES -- When the summer months arrive, Marshall County residents know annual festival entertainment and activity can be found almost every weekend, such as Rhodes Pride Days beginning on Friday. "Back in 2023, our committee came together to bring Rhodes Pride Days back to life," said President Madelyn Pitzen. "We've had ups and downs but we have always been able to come together with help from many members of the community to problem-solve and pull off Rhodes Pride Days." In a town of roughly 270 residents, Pitzen is expecting 500 people to attend Rhodes Pride. "There were a solid few years that Rhodes Pride Days activities and committee had fizzled out, but softball carried on," she said.
