Except, of course, that Friday will be the last day. Established in 1985, the Village Inn has been a gathering place and general watering-hole for the rather unique little community that is Hartland. We join others in thanking Judy for her years of hospitality and providing a center for a living community. Time for a big evaluation

He spoke to a group of about 15 guests plus faculty and administration, gathered to participate in a discussion of the improvements to school facilities the board has been considering for the coming years.
The meeting, following a similar meeting in Ellendale the previous week, was also attended by representatives from ICS Consulting and Wold Architects, who are working with the board to create an improvement plan for the district to address a number of issues, some of them of high priority.

When Santa Claus comes to Geneva on Saturday, December 13th for his yearly visit, the local children will also be able to play Bingo prior to his arrival.
Those who attend this yearly event will be able to also sign up for two door prizes, one for a girl, and one for a boy, hoping to be the lucky one chosen as the winner, if they haven't already been lucky winners playing bingo.
Prior to Santa’s visit, starting at 1 p.m., Warren Torgerson will call 20 games of Bingo and the children attending with the winning numbers will be able to call out "Bingo!" and will be able to pick a gift of their choice until all the prizes are gone.
