Week of April 6th

Everyone arrived safely on Monday, in spite of the snow. Central Minnesota Christian High School (Prinsburg) and Lindbergh Elementary (Little Falls) enjoyed the snowy conditions, strapping on snowshoes when necessary. The weather was beautiful on Tuesday and Wednesday, although news of the next storm was beginning to trickle in. Lincoln Elementary and Dr. SG Knight Elementary (both from Little Falls) arrived on Wednesday afternoon. They had a great visit, but decided to leave on Thursday evening to avoid the impending weather......a good move, too, considering Little Falls got a foot of snow that night and school was canceled for Friday! The photo above shows DP staff Mike Libsch and Nova Clark helping to load up the buses as the storm's first flakes begin falling. See below for a nice pic of Cass County Isaac Walton League members Dorothy Harrington and Don Hoppe . Their monthly meeting was Thursday evening. Deep Portage seems to have avoided the brunt of the latest system, although more snow may come. As of 1:30 on Friday we have received 4 inches of fresh "concrete". Unfortunately the Kelly Joe Phelps concert had to be postponed due to weather, and is tentatively rescheduled for August 30th. Keep your chins up, Spring is on the way!
