Think local history isn't interesting?
Think again.

LeRoy Sommers will be flipping pancakes, served with sausage, coffee and milk, from 4:30 to 7 p.m. at the First Baptist Church. Boy Scout Troop #219 has volunteered their help.

The agenda was reviewed and approved, and slight changes to the consent agenda – errors in the minutes from both meetings in February, and an additional invoice in the fire department’s pay requests – were made before approval.
The first order of business, parking/snow ordinances concerns of a citizen, was skipped due to said citizen’s absence.

A benefit is planned for Sunday, March 9 for Shannon Rhoades of Ellendale.
Recently, Shannon was snowmobiling with a group in the Rushford area when the ski of her snowmobile caught a culvert marker. The snowmobile rapidly changed course and fell into a six-foot ravine. Shannon had to be airlifted to a hospital in LaCrosse where the doctors determined she had a crushed vertebra, as well as two breaks to her pelvis.
Ironically, Shannon lost her father, David Rysavy, as a result of a snowmobile accident in 2010.
