NRHEG Community Education will travel to one of  the largest Old Order Amish communities in Minnesota and travel to several Amish farms in the area. Folks will have the opportunity to browse and purchase Amish crafts, baskets, quilts, leather goods, hardwood furniture, canned and baked items, soaps, and fresh garden produce in season. Stopping at specialty stores in Lanesboro will also be on the agenda.  Along the way, they will also be viewing the fall leaves in this beautiful area. 

The event is Thursday, Oct. 8, leaving Ellendale at 8:10 a.m. from Gopher Stop (intersection of I35 and Hwy. 30). Cost is $45  (lunch will be extra). Register with Community Education at the school by calling 507-417-2667.

The Steele County Humane Society is teaming up with Oakview Nursery's Pumpkin Patch (7921 S. County Road 45) in an effort to find homes for homeless puppies and kittens. While you are checking out what the Pumpkin Patch has to offer, stop by the Steele County Humane Society canopy and meet some of the animals looking for forever homes.

The Steele County Humane Society will be staffing the canopy Saturday, Oct. 3 and Sunday, Oct. 4 from 12-4. We hope to see you there.

Dorothy E. McIntyre, co-author of the book, Daughters of the Game - The First Era of Girls High School Basketball, 1891-1942, is seeking information on the 1924-25 Ellendale High School girls’ basketball team, coached by Mr. Bergesen, who also was the school’s principal.

In particular, McIntyre is looking for details on a gold basketball charm presented to Bergesen by the 1924-25 Ellendale boys’ and girls’ basketball teams.

The charm has the initial "E" with red inside, with 24 on the left side and 25 on the right. Below it reads, “Coach Bergesen from Boys and Girls Squads.”

The charm is unique as it was made for the players to give to their coach. The stitching and etching are clear.
