Hope springs eternal and so does my roof, come to the home show next week
Hope springs eternal and so does my roof, come to the home show next week
There will be entertainment both days on the stage in the gym. You can see cloggers as well as a play that features Ole and Lena. There will be wellness seminars as well as seminars on designing outdoor living spaces. The Home Show will feature two singers as well as a fly casting seminar for those of you who fish.
The County Press has been part of the Chisago Lakes Home Show for as long as I can remember, so take it from me, this show will be great. In a time of turbulent finances, more and more people are looking to spend money on their home instead of spending frivolously elsewhere. The Home Show is a perfect place to find a business that can help you make your home or business your private oasis.
The show runs Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Sunday from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. I hope to see you there.
Saturday, February 19, local legislators plan to meet with the public at North Branch Library and then at Chisago Lakes Area Library. Senator Sean Nienow and Representative Bob Barrett are holding their "Town Hall" meetings from 10 to 11 a.m. and then 1 to 2:30 p.m. in Chisago.
Nienow has signed onto an interesting bill that would provide an exemption for businesses (bars) to allow smoking. It has many requirements to meet conditions, but this is just one of the many pieces of legislation local lawmakers are involved in. Rep. Barrett sits on an Education Reform Committee that is breaking some new ground on that issue as well.
The Chisago County Press would like to extend our condolences to the family of North Branch Councilman Larry Erickson. Larry sadly passed away last week. The community lost a real gem in Larry, he will be missed by all.

Remember when it rained about a month ago? I wrote about all of the beautiful waterfalls cascading gently through the roof here at the Press? Sadly, the waterfalls ceased when the temperatures dipped below zero. Kind of a double whammy, waterfalls end, but heating bills sky rocket.
Well, I am happy to report with the beautiful weather we are having, the waterfalls have returned. Almost every room now has its own waterfall and reflecting pool. If one were to purchase a special day at a spa retreat, it would cost hundreds of dollars. Our lucky employees get to enjoy spa like settings every day. Ohm, ohm, ohmmm.
