SLEEPY EYE The Sleepy Eye City Council will consider funding requests from the Sleepy Eye Chamber of Commerce and Sleepy Eye Historical Society on Tuesday, Jan. 12.
In a Nov. 20, 2020 letter to Sleepy Eye Mayor Bob Elston and the Sleepy Eye City Council, Sleepy Eye Historical Society Director Debbie Joramo requested a $500 annual funding increase to $4,200.
“We have had several hardships with our fundraisers. Several of them were not able to be done last year that we anticipated for funding,” read the letter. “This year, we are excited to announce we have a new Microreader to share with the community to enjoy Sleepy Eye Herald Dispatch newspapers from 1890 to 2008, plus the Progressive Paper from 1917 to 1942. Our endeavor is to keep Sleepy Eye history alive for future generations.”
