25 Years Ago

Except for the downpour which drove the POW-WOW, Czech Dancers and History Pageant performers out of the park and into the Eagle Valley Elementary School gymnasium, the first part of Clarissa’s Centennial celebration went smoothly. There will be a concert in Memorial Park featuring the Long Prairie Chamber Orchestra and a free John Wayne movie will be shown.

Tina Zimmer, Violet Zimmer, Farmer’s Union, and Bruce Zeidler, National Farmer’s Organization, purchased $550 worth of cheese products on Wednesday, July 9. They spent $405 at Jon and Rita’s Super Valu in Clarissa and the remainder was spent at Bisel’s Supermarket in Eagle Bend. The two local organizations bought the cheese and delivered it to the food shelf in Crookston to help flood victims in the Crookston area.
