NRHEG High School one-act play performances are set for Friday and Saturday, Feb. 12 and 13, at 7:30 p.m. in the high school gym in New Richland.

In the first play, “How to Kiss a Girl,” Ken is getting ready for his very first date and he decides to download dating advice from across the centuries. The date quickly spirals out of control as he tries to follow dating advice from a communist-fearing nationalist, a swashbuckling pirate, a sweet southern belle, and a puritanical Pilgrim.

In, “That's Not How I Remember It,” Mom and Dad  tell the story of how they met in 1986. The trouble is, they remember their courtship completely differently. Mom's version makes their meeting sound like a sappy romantic comedy while Dad makes himself the star of a karate battle.

The Waseca Sleigh & Cutter medallion has been found by Ivagene and Roger Kobylinski of Waseca. They located it in a tree at Tink Larson field, winning $1,250 in Chamber Bucks and gift certificates of $250 each from Charlie’s Hardware and Hy-Vee.

Spence was too shy to perform his act in front of the crowd, instead singing "Dock of the Bay" from behind the curtain. Lillie Nielsen and Ben Witikko were awarded first place. Second went to Tanner Smith-Vulcan. (Star Eagle photo by Jim Lutgens)
