Be sure to spread the word about the Community Thanksgiving dinner that will be held on Thursday at Trinity Lutheran Church in Brooten.

They always have a surplus of food!!! So feel free to come by and bring a neighbor or too while you're at it.

Brooten area gets dumped on

Here's the view outside church on Tuesday morning, before the Brooten city workers took all the plowed snow off of the streets around town.

Over 15 inches of snow fell over the Brooten area and on Trinity Lutheran and West Lake Johanna churches on Monday and Tuesday, November 10-11 this week. It had many roads all but shut down on Monday evening.

Fortunately, no serious injuries were reported in our immediate area.
