Mark your calendars for Dec. 1, and come out to the annual Christmas Stroll.
Opening ceremonies will begin at 6 p.m. on the courthouse steps with the invocation being offered by Father Poole of St. Michaels Catholic Church.
The winner of the third essay contest will once again assist Santa in lighting the Christmas tree.
Stockman Bank has Santa’s rocker all polished up and ready for him to hear the wishes of young and old from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.
If the Santa line has got you waiting out in the cold, pop across the street to Wells Fargo to sip some hot chocolate and other goodies. The Home Café will be serving free cinnamon rolls and chili with a food bank donation beginning about 5 p.m.
Olson’s Drug has blood pressure and blood sugar testing from 6 – 8 p.m.
Downtown merchants will be open with “Stroll” specials until 8:30 p.m. Make sure you stop by each merchant and business.
The museum and gift shop will be open at 6 p.m.; in the 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. timeslot, the library will have hot apple cider and piano recitals; the Lions Club will be cooking up those famous “Whoop-Up” burgers in front of Pure Bliss Cycle Sales.
Vendors and crafters will be set up at the Moose Lodge as well as the Mall from 4-9 p.m.
Still one of the great attractions is the ride around town on a horse drawn cart with several stops along the way.
The Chamber of Commerce will be having the “live” Christmas tree auction at Courtesy Ford beginning at 8 p.m. All proceeds go to purchase decorations for Main St.
So many great activities to kick start your Holiday Season. See you at the Stroll. |

It may be small, only two students, however the Conrad school population is continuing its present trend to decline.
The official student count took place in October and starting at the high school, it shows a population of 204 students on campus.
The count last year at this time was 217. It is interesting to note that two classes actually show an increase, but the sophomore class, which had 71 students in ‘05, is now a class of 42, and the incoming freshman dropped four students, going from 48 to 44.
The junior class has the largest population on the campus with 69 students, which is up from 51 last year and the graduating Class of ’06 witnessed a small gain from last year, going from 47 students to 49.
However, the high school population has seen a steady drop in population every year since 1997 when there were 282 kids roaming the halls.
There was one exception, that being last year when there was a little tweak and the numbers went up to 237, only to begin another decline.
