Final two Ellendale musicians to play indoors
The city of Ellendale has had a great number of entertainment programs on Saturday night this summer to enjoy, thanks to the organization of Russell Goette. It has good to see so many people turn out for the events each week to enjoy the great music, as well as visit with their friends and neighbors. Summer is quickly coming to an end, the daylight is getting shorter and the evenings are getting cooler, so the last two performances will be moved from the outdoor stage on 5th Avenue and 2nd Street to the Ellendale Community Building. Darlene Smith, who is from Owatonna, will take center stage on September 20 starting at 6:30; and Ross Sletten, whose performance had earlier been rained out back on the 31st of May, will share his musical talents on September 27. Once again Becky Lassahn will be offering root beer. The floats are available for a free-will donation as a fundraiser for the Assembly of God Refuge.
