BOLD Homecoming

This week is Homecoming for the BOLD School District.  There will be many home falls sporting events.  Cross County is hosting the BOLD Invitational on Thursday at 4:00 at the golf course, volleyball is playing YME at 6:00 pm Thursday evening and the football team is hosting Paynesville Friday night at 7 pm.  I don’t understand how anyone can be bored in a small community with all these activities at the school.  Even if you don’t have kids in school (I do not anymore), there are young people I am acquainted with, children of friends or neighbors, so there is always some connection.  I enjoy high school sports more than college or professionals just because the kids give their all in these competitions.   Get out and support the teams, it will be a fun time.  

Infrastructure update

The infrastructure project is moving along on north 11^th Street.  There should be only one cross intersection closed to public traffic at a time.  Thus when Maple and 11^th intersection is closed, the Elm Street crossing over 11^th should be open to traffic.  R. L. Larson, the construction company doing the project, is making every effort to keep inconvenience to a minimum.  Work will continue at this pace as long as the weather is good.
