WARRANT, the band that shaped late ’80s and early ’90s rock, is back and headed to the Surf! Bursting onto the scene in 1989, the Hollywood-based group found success with their debut album Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich, featuring standout tracks like “Down Boys,” “Sometimes She Cries,” and the Gold-certified “Heaven.” With over 3 million copies sold, the album solidified WARRANT as rock legends. Their follow-up album, Cherry Pie, released in 1990, became a cultural phenomenon. Songs like “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” and “I Saw Red” showcased the band’s range, while the title track “Cherry Pie” continues to resonate, appearing in movies, TV shows, and video games like Guitar Hero II. Led by Robert Mason and supported by original members Jerry Dixon, Steven Sweet, Joey Allen, and Erik Turner, WARRANT remains committed to its roots while exploring new creative ground. Their latest album, Louder Harder Faster, has been embraced by longtime listeners and newcomers, cementing the band’s place in today’s rock landscape. Now touring nationwide, WARRANT performs all their best hits, from nostalgic favorites to tracks that define their current sound. Fans can expect an evening that’s true to the band’s legacy, blending tight musicianship and an authentic connection to the music that made them stars. Don’t miss this iconic 90’s rock band as they celebrate over three decades of anthems at the Surf Ballroom! #warrant #letthegoodtimesrock #bulletboys #surfballroom #clearlakeia

Walk, learn, show support by being involved, and spread awareness for mental health. This event is FREE & open to the public. By design, this event allows participants to walk, seek resources, chat, and enjoy lunch at their own leisure. Take a quick lap on your lunch break or stay the entire time - either way, your support is appreciated and makes a difference in our community. By coming together as a community we can help stop the stigmas associated with mental illness by sharing education, debunking assumptions and misconceptions, and raising awareness about the healthcare resources that are available for mental health in North Iowa. TIMELINE: • 11:30 AM Food vendors, resource tables, & the marked walking path open to the public. • 12:00 PM Gather at Principal Pavilion for a short oration by Prairie Ridge Medical Director Shea Jorgensen, group photo, & a few laps around the walking path as a large group. • Until 12:30 PM Food vendors, resource tables, & the marked walking path remain open.   FULL DETAILS: - WEAR GREEN: “National Wear Green Day” for mental health awareness is recognized on 05.15.25, the day of our walk. You can wear green, but you do not have to. There is no dress code for this event; please come as you are! - KNOW WHERE TO GO: Cerro Gordo county mental health resource providers will be listed on your card. It’s important to know where to go for mental healthcare and support for yourself, those you love, and your neighbors in the community. Stop by their tables to learn more. - WIN: Participate in an optional bingo activity by visiting each resource table where you will get a stamp. Visit all of the tables to enter a drawing for a chance to win a self-care prize! Full details can be found on the card. - WALK: The marked walking path follows a section of the walking tour which will feature several freshly installed sculptures. A map can be found on your resource card. - LUNCH: Dine-in at one of the many great restaurants located in the pavilion & around downtown Mason City. Additional picnic tables will be set up throughout Central Park. - MORE INFO: Businesses, organizations, and groups can obtain further information about group attendance, providing resources, and getting involved by emailing Bayley McCormick at [email protected] - RAIN OR SHINE: In the event of inclement weather, we will gather at the indoor pavilion and walk in Southbridge Mall.  See less
