Midsommar was a blast (furnace)
What a weekend that was. We had the first ever Lindstrom Midsommar celebration all weekend long and had North Branch’s Midsummer Days as well. It just so happened to be the hottest weekend of the year, but that didn’t seem to deter the crowds.

Graduation time, girls to state!
As you can see by the middle spread in this paper, this is graduation week. Chisago Lakes, North Branch and Trio Wolf Creek students all graduate this week. As I write this, the rain has been falling for seven hours and doesn’t appear to be stopping anytime soon. Let’s hope the front moves out so the outdoor graduations can take place.

Memorial Day weekend is here
This weekend is Memorial Day weekend and if you take a look at the middle of this edition of the County Press you will see two pages of Memorial Day events held by local Veterans around the county. They take time out of their busy schedules to hold Memorial Day services for you and me. Almost every cemetery has a service so you can attend, at a time that’s convenient for you. This is our chance to remember those family members, friends and community members that have given their lives for our great country and the very least we can do is come out and show our respect. The services are usually quite quick because they have so many to perform during the day. I will see you out there.
