A couple of weeks ago I received an email from a 17-year-old
girl from Blaine whose first name was Olivia.
She was so thrilled to discover a city in Minnesota with the same first
name. In my return email I suggested she
come to Olivia for Corn Capital Days and have some sweet corn. She emailed me back that she is coming for
the Saturday festivities. Olivia will be
one of the many guests our community will have over the many days of Corn Capital
Days. Lots of former residents will be
returning to see family and friends. I
encourage everyone to enjoy the celebration, share the fun. Many, many, many volunteers work every hard
and long to make this civic festival a huge success so make sure to thank any and all you know who
have contributed in any way. Let’s have
a safe and fun Corn Capital Days.
Congratulations to Pastor Russ Jacobsen and his new wife,
Janelle. It is my hope that they will have a long and successful stay in our
beautiful city. We also bid farewell to
Pastor Ric Jacobsen and wife, Joy as they begin their new position in New
Ulm. Hopefully we will see them on
occasion as New Ulm is not that far away.
I applaud the City of Morton’s Yard of the Week
program. I noticed the sign a few weeks
back while driving through Morton and thought it was a very interesting
idea. Is something like this possible in
Olivia? I would think so, if anyone or
group (gardening club) is interesting in this, let’s chat about it. I’m pretty sure Morton wouldn’t mind if we “borrowed”
their idea.
