Lots of things to do this weekend
This weekend Mark and the crew at AAA Recycling will hold their first recycling event. The event runs Saturday from 8am to 2pm in the lower parking lot of Chisago Lake Lutheran Church in Center City. This is your chance to get rid of clutter that has been bugging you all winter. There is a small charge for most stuff and we have an ad on page six listing what items are accepted. They do accept cash, checks and even Venmo. If I could make a suggestion, get there early. The lines tend to get longer as the day progresses.

Thank you for reading today
Last week we mailed out our blue renewal cards. I know that many of you have taken advantage of our early renewal coupon we ran for a month. If you have renewed already, you do not have to call us, I am sure the card and your payment just crossed paths in the night at the USPS. If you have not renewed, we have made it easy for you to do so. Simply send in your payment along with the blue card and we will make sure you don’t miss a single week of the Chisago County Press.

Happy Easter to your families
Thanks so much to Doris and all of her awesome helpers who once again put on a great Easter egg hunt last Saturday. You never know what weather we will have for the hunt (we have had snow and even a driving rain) so Saturday’s good weather was awesome.

Goodbye Alice - you will be missed
If there is one thing I hate, it’s using this space to talk about friends and people in our community who have passed away. It’s not that I hate writing about them, rather it means I am writing about someone I have come to know and many times become close to. This week is no exception. Alice Nelson has sadly passed away. Many of our loyal readers will recognize the name as she was our food writer for what seemed like decades.

Easter seems so late this year
Every year since our kids were small we have saved to take a vacation. My wife and I grew up in households that never, and I mean never, took vacations. It just wasn’t feasible back then. We vowed to try our darndest to make sure our kids had a vacation even if it was someplace as simple as the north shore.
