An authenticated artifact will be up for bid this weekend. A silver coin dating back to the time of Christ will be one of the many items at the silent auction on Saturday, Feb. 27 from 3-7 p.m. at the Northwoods Harvest Barn Cowboy Church. Other silent auction items includes gas cards, oil change gift certificates, quilts, crafts, gift baskets and much more. Sandwiches and refreshments will also be served and live music will be playing. Gatherings of community members was something the late Pastor Brian Dean Erickson cherished about church. So, his family and friends think it is fitting to have such an event in his honor and to help the wife he left behind.

A new business often offers below competition prices. When the business is operated by the owners, it usually means there is a hunger to have the business name coincide with being reliable and respected. Kyler Wegner and Jamie Rowan are those business owners. The two men recently opened Lakes Country Heating and Air Conditioning and are already tackling jobs in a 45 minute radius from Frazee.

Frazee resident Mitchell Dahlen would like to create an airlift team for tournaments. Each team has five active players and the events are typically held on the weekends in the Twin Cities. “It is pretty popular,” Dahlen said. “Over my birthday there was a competition with 100 joining walk on teams and 200 people that came with teams to compete.”

According to reports from various police agencies in the state, some Minnesota motorists are a bit confused in their interpretation of the new left turn on red law which took affect on January 1, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety reported today. Unlike its counterpart, the right turn on red, the left turn on red can be made only from a one-way street onto another intersecting one-way street on which traffic is moving from right to left. Some motorists are evidently not aware of the “one-way street” stipulation for the left turn on red and have been using it on two-way streets.
