Fort Dodge Mayor Matt Bemrich talks with a group of Hillcrest Elementary School students following a Character Counts assembly on February’s pillar of the month, citizenship. Bemrich and Fort Dodge Police Sgt. Chuck Guthrie spoke to students about what it means to be a good citizen and their leadership roles in the community. For Bemrich, the assembly also became his very first “autograph session.”
