Nicole Carlen and Sonny Nelson both tied for first place as the first to correctly identify last week’s Internet Mystery Photo as the statue in front of Bob Wilde’s studio in Dassel.
Joan Keskey, formerly of Dassel, won the Herald Journal Caribbean cruise giveaway, valued at more than $1,500, arranged through Travel Easy Tours of Waconia. Keskey is living in Montrose, but is a well known beautician in the Dassel-Cokato area. She bought her ticket at Eye Opener Coffee House in Winsted.
Shown in the photo are newspaper employees Jami Berg, Sarah Bisping (on phone with KDUZ radio), and Janey Oberg, drawing Keskey’s name on Friday. Second place went to Judy Bayerl of Winsted who bought her ticket at the Hollywood Sports Complex in Watertown, who won Chanhassen dinner theater tickets, and third place went to J. Erickson of Cokato, who won Underwater World tickets at the Grounds in Cokato.
Paul Beckermann of Cokato endured the cold Wednesday night (Feb. 27) to take shots of the lunar eclipse. The next eclipse of the moon will be Dec. 21, 2010. The picture at left was taken around 9:05 p.m. The second photo was taken a bit later.
The Dassel Chamber of Commerce is petitioning for signatures - about 400 are needed in order to go to a vote- for metro calling to come to Dassel. Cokato has it and in order for Litchfield to get it, it needs to be installed in Dassel first. For those in Cokato, do you like metro calling? For Dassel residents, what are your thoughts on getting it?
I purchased a few books from a gentleman that spoke at the Dassel Cokato Rotary Club last year and I wanted to share some of the photos in his book Schoolhouses of Minnesota. The photographer is Doug Ohman of Pioneer Photography. You can view some of his photos and get his contact information by logging onto his website www.pioneerphotography.com - For now, enjoy the photos from one of his books. Can you remember walking into your old school house?
