This may be a small town, but there’s never a shortage of things happening around here.
Right now we’ve got the street project. That’s brought out more Sidewalk Superintendents than Minneota has Boxelder Bugs.
Talk about opinions .... the sidewalks are not the same, they’re too big, they don’t match, they’re too high or too low and the street is not as wide as it was, it’s too low and why isn’t it in yet?

The new school year is here, and the first day was a warm one for our students. August 23 is the earliest the doors have ever opened and it was met with some reluctance by many in our district.
I visited both schools on opening day and it seemed like everything was running smoothly. The dehumidification was working well at the public school, although it got a little warm in the lunch room, I’m told. I also feel sure that it was warm on the upper floor at St. Edward’s where there is no air conditioning of any kind.

There was a lot of excitement in Minneota last week after a jam-packed crowd of library lovers left the Lyon County Board meeting.
“We got $53,000,” said one person, with a smile on her face that couldn’t be erased.
The county commissioners dipped into their rear pockets, plucked that money out of “county reserves” and handed it to the Minneota Friends of the Library, to the Tracy Library Board and to Cottonwood City officials.
