Adeline Stracek, a current resident of the Sun Rose Courts apartments, enjoyed sharing stories about her family in the early days when they first came to this area. In 1940, their home was eight miles north and one mile east of Browerville in Moran Township, and consisted of two small rooms with no water or electricity. She was born on November 8, 1919 in Chicago and grew up living over her father’s hardware store in six comfortable rooms. Now she faces milking cows, hauling water, baking, hand-sewing and gardening similar to pioneers a century earlier.

On February 24, the Broncos Wrestling team traveled to Osakis to wrestle in the 2001 Individual Section 7A Wrestling Tournament.

The team wants to thank all their fans this year.

Somewhere among the crocheters of the country are the 1951 champions of crochet. They will be chosen by their entries in the Nationwide Crochet Contest, an exciting competition for all crochet enthusiasts, held throughout the United States at state, county and local fairs. Entries in the contest are submitted to the fair who will do the preliminary judging. In this vicinity, anyone—man, woman or teenager—who wants to get in on the fun, can enter one or more pieces in the contest at the Todd County Fair. For further information write Logan O. Scow, Long Prairie, Fair Secretary.

About 300 patrons, stockholders and friends of the Browerville Farmers Cooperative Creamery attended the annual meeting held at the local high school auditorium last Thursday to hear the report on this year’s business. Despite the snowstorm on Wednesday, the crowd present was as large, if not larger, than attendance at meetings in year’s past.
