Like everyone else in Minnesota, last nite we got a lot of snow . My guess here we got about 14.5 inches. I plowed out the driveway last nite and again this morning. Like always the maintenance crew was up early and did a great job of opening up the streets.

More on The Covered Bridge
A week ago I posted that our covered bridge project is moving ahead.
In the online edition of the St. Cloud Times today. They reported the Stearns County board gave its approval today for the project. County parks director Chuck Wocken was quoted as saying “I’ve always thought Holdingford does things just a little bit prettier than a lot of communities,” and that “They’re never satisfied with just the chassis and the wheel. They want a little more style.” He went on to say The county will be responsible for maintaining and repairing the bridge, although it’s expected to require little maintenance.
I'm sure the citizens of Holdingford appreciate support of the Stearns County board and the positive comments by Mr. Wocken.
