			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>WRIGHT, CARVER COUNTIES, MN –The Sustainable Farming Association (SFA) of Minnesota is looking for farms to participate in the 2012 Festival of Farms Saturday, July 14.</p>
<p><span id="more-28424"></span>This year, the organization is hoping to offer a &#8220;buffet&#8221; of locations all across the Crow River and metro area.  The idea is that each farm would offer tours at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., with &#8220;open farm&#8221; time between.  Not only would it be a time for farmers to educate others, but also an opportunity to offer farm products for sale.</p>
<p>Festival of Farms is a statewide event, and SFA would provide promotion, a small honorarium, and materials for each farm. If any Crow River sustainable farmers would be interested in hosting, contact events coordinator Jerry Ford at (320) 543-3394 or jerry@sfa-mn.org.</p>
<p>To learn more about SFA, go to <a href="http://www.sfa-mn.org">www.sfa-mn.org</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>WRIGHT COUNTY, MN – Twin Cities media is reporting the recovery of two bodies from Lake Charlotte in Rockford Township, located north of Rockford. According to the Wright County Sheriff’s Office, a report was received of an ATV that had gone through the ice on Lake Charlotte near the address of 33 Halsey Av SE Saturday night, Jan. 14, at about 8:55 p.m.</p>
<p><span id="more-28136"></span>The two victims have been identified as Brad Skafte, a 2009 graduate of Rockford High School, and Adam Patnode, a 2010 graduate of Rockford High School.</p>
<p>The responding deputy was able to determine that a 66-year-old Buffalo man had driven his ATV on to the ice after observing what he thought to be a snowmobile go through the ice. While looking for the snowmobile, the ATV also went through the ice. The man on the ATV was helped out of the water by a neighbor, but the ATV was not recovered.</p>
<p>The Wright County Sheriff’s Office conducted a search of the area for the snowmobile with the assistance of the Hanover Fire Department and a helicopter from the Minnesota State Patrol. Searchers were able to locate snowmobile tracks that lead to an area of open water.</p>
<p>During the search, the sheriff’s office was contacted by the families of two young male adults who were missing. The people who were reported missing were believed to be snowmobiling on the lake.</p>
<p>Twin Cities media reported Sunday afternoon that two bodies were recovered from the lake about 1 p.m., using sonar equipment, according to KARE 11.</p>
