It may be the season of red and green, but some Iowans at a southwest Iowa plant are getting pink slips. The Miracle Recreation Equipment plant in Mount Ayr will close December 31st, affecting 32 jobs. Production is being moved to plants in Monett and Advance, Missouri. The company is the nation’s largest manufacturer of children’s park and recreation equipment.
