mural, garden club, housing addition
It looks like the murals on the box car will have to wait until
next spring. The weather cooling down a lot.
The garden club is going full steam with the garden area.
They are in process of getting electricity to the area they are going
to have a Christmas tree. They planted a small one but have a large
one coming for what is to be a annual tree lighting ceremony. Their
plans include having the school choir 'help' with the singing.
Inviting the public , Serving hot chocolate and cookies. It will be
a good community get together.
Another house has been started at the Ridgeview Addition,
the street and utilities are in. One of the things I like is they
planted grass on the whole development, It will look nice next
spring. Instead of looking like a war zone on the empty lots.

Painted Murals
One of the murals on the boxcar at the Lake Wobegon Park is being
finished by Holdingford High School Art teacher Frank Gosach. It's
really looking nice. The other panels will be done next year.

New Well
The City is drilling a new well this fall. All the preliminary work
has been done and we will abandon the oldest one. We will have two
wells servicing the community. With plenty of capacity for many
years in the future.
