Upcoming schedule for Ellendale:

Schultz agrees to kiss pig if $25,000 goal is met

GRAIN CHALLENGE — With harvest in full swing, the challenge is out to area farmers to help raise $25,000 in grain donations for the New Richland Area Foundation, which would force school board member Rick Schultz to kiss a pig. (Submitted photo)

Want to see Rick Schultz kiss a pig? The New Richland Area Foundation would like to invite area farmers to join the NRAF’s challenge to raise $25,000 for a scholarship fund for NRHEG High School seniors who will be seeking a post-secondary education. If the goal is met, Schultz has kindly accepted the request to kiss a pig as a celebration. If more than the $25,000 needed is raised, there may be more surprises of celebration.

The NRAF Fund is a fund where a percentage of interest earned on the fund balance is granted each year to non-profit organizations, the schools and the city. This fund restricts any grants presented as a scholarship to an individual. The committee is seeking assistance from area farmers to donate a gift of grain to a fund specifically for scholarships.

With this new scholarship fund is a way of investing in youth to further their education after high school.
