Goodhue County IT director: A wealth of experience in a small department
Mar 21, 2018
My family and I moved from Arizona to Minnesota in April of 2017. Almost a year later, the question we still hear most often is “Why would you leave the warm sunshine of Arizona?”

Letter: Small-town life a blessing
Mar 7, 2018
I really feel blessed to live in a small town.
People know their neighbors and are so willing to help each other. I have several neighbors who are willing to come to help if they see me out shoveling my driveway. I don’t even ask for the help but they volunteer.
