Orders should be placed by Oct. 6
If anyone is interested in purchasing a memorial brick for the Memorial Park area by the New Richland Post Office, orders will be taken until Friday, Oct. 6. The plan is to get them installed before the winter season sets in. Any orders purchased after that may not get installed until next spring when the weather permits.
Thank you to all who have participated in the brick program. It gives us all the opportunity to remember those from our community who have passed. There are 72 bricks installed and the walkway will be extended so they can continue to be added.
Bricks are $100 and can be purchased at City Hall or by calling Gail Schmidt at 507-383-1147.

Historic water tower disassembled

Down and away in one day, the last in August.
The very old and old-fashioned Hartland water tower, centered in town for more than 100 years, has been replaced by the new model two blocks south.
The new so slim and winsome.
The old one once so handsome.
The original designed for one village.
The current designed for two towns exactly six miles apart, Hartland and Freeborn. Their combined population is about 600.
