In an open forum, County Commissioner Ben Montzka gave an update from the county level. Montzka said they were dealing with the ongoing strike.

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.
