From KOD to Wannigan Days
What a fantastic weekend Lindstrom had for the Karl Oskar Days celebration. It finished right before this current inferno week began. The entire event was very well attended with the parade being as full and as crowded as I can remember. It was full of great floats and tons of candy and it moved along better than it ever has.

Karl Oskar Days are upon us
I cannot believe the summer celebrations are here. Yes it has been beyond uncomfortable with high temps and high humidity, but it seems like it was just freezing outside, and summer would never arrive.

Roasting or freezing - no between
A few years back our house had bad damage from a storm that ripped through Center City. If you remember it was the one that landed the giant wood adirondack chair in the middle of North Center Lake. We ended up getting new siding and a new roof after the storm, so it was our chance to change the look to whatever we wished. We chose a dark grey with a black roof and it looks amazing. We have had many compliments on the new look of our house. So why am I writing about it? I am giving a warning if you are thinking about those color combinations. The dark grey looks great but I would skip the black roof next time. Our upstairs is so hot now whenever it is warm out. Not sure if they make white shingles, but I will be looking into it.

Hail hail go away - GOAT Rusty
Good grief - I wrote about needing rain and boy did Mother Nature answer. Maybe I am getting absent minded but I don’t remember every storm in years past containing hail. It seems lately if we don’t get a semblance of hail it’s an oddity. What happened to the good old gully-washer rains? You know the ones that don’t pock mark the hoods of our vehicles?

Confused about Highway 8?
Many people have inquired where the Highway 8 reconstruction project sits right now. It just so happens there is a community informational meeting on Tuesday June 9 at the Lindstrom Community Center. The meeting will run from 5-7pm and will feature the recommendations made by MnDOT for improving Highway 8 from Chisago City to Taylors Falls. These meetings are the best way to stay informed of what this massive project will look like. See page 4 for the advertisement. Right now, on the west end of the route the Wyoming to Chisago City #8 projects are approaching design completion and they’re buying right-of-way.
