2020 has been a roller-coaster of a year for both Perham and the world. Over the course of the year, lockdown signs read “Perham Strong” popped up all over town with a sentiment that has proven to be true this year.
During the pandemic, many small businesses across the country and state of Minnesota have had to permanently shut their doors in 2020. But business closings did not grab headlines in the Perham Focus. While many events were altered or postponed because of COVID-19, the year ended with some hope and the arrival of a vaccine.
