Holiday Treat

The Kiwanis Community Cantata will be performing its annual concert on Thursday, Dec 1^st at St. Aloysius Church.   The musical presentation, “O Holy Night!” is created by Russell Maudling and Sue C. Smith.  This annual holiday event has over 70 local singers and musicians donating their time and talents.  There will be a free-will offering donation that will be given to the Renville County Food Shelf and Santa’s Closet and refreshments will be served after in the St. Aloysius’ Jubilee Center.  Everyone is invited.  It has been my pleasure to participate in this event for a number of years and it is always a rewarding experience from the performing to the listening, so please join us in this community celebration.  

Happy Retirement

I would like to wish Byron Hogberg all the best in his retirement from the USDA Farm Service Agency.  He has been an excellent executive director.  Laurie and Byron moved to Olivia the same time Tom and I did all those years ago.  We both had little ones the same age so our children grew up together.   I wish them an enjoyable and relaxing retirement years and much fun with their grandkids.  The community appreciates all they have given for those many years (I will not say how long).
