In business, they say location is everything, and a group of Crookston girls found out Wednesday that the top of Landslide Park at the West Sixth Street curve near Groveland Avenue is a great place to set up a lemonade stand.
But sisters Anna, Alice and Claire Heldstab, along with Makenna Weisse, didn’t just offer two varieties of lemonade at their stand – “regular” as well as pink – they also sold iced-tea. And they filled the drinks almost all of the way to the top of full-sized Solo cups, and they wrote “Smile!” in Sharpie marker on every cup. Oh, and they had brownie “bites” for sale, too, some of which were about the size of a whole brownie.

Ward 1 Crookston City Council Member Jerde hosting 2 upcoming chats
Submitted by Kristie Jerde
Greetings Ward 1 Residents of the City of Crookston:
As many of you may know, the council has approved the public hearing for the proposed reorganization of city departments.
The proposed reorganization is a means to eliminate duplication of cost for services, provide greater efficiency, cost saving, transparency and streamlining of processes. WIth this proposal, comes difficult decisions including the dissolution of CHEDA and the creation of a separate Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) as well as Community Development Department under the city. One of the goals of this proposal is to provide a seamless transition without disrupting services.

Come and explore the great outdoors.in Crookston, Minnesota?
I chose to pose that opening sentence as a question because our little city probably doesn’t make anyone’s top 10 list of outdoor destinations. There are no mountains and there’s no beach. There are no tourist-trap, majestic destinations, like the Grand Canyon or Niagara Falls. We have a river, but it’s under-utilized and under-appreciated.
But when one adds a puppy to the family, a high-octane dog that also happens to embrace frigid cold and snow, and one takes that puppy on multiple walks, from early in the morning to the dark of night, one sees Crookston in a different light, or from a different perspective. It’s almost like my wife and I are viewing our town through a different lens, or maybe we’re just seeing, noticing and taking a moment or two to appreciate aspects of our town we barely even noticed before, if we knew they existed at all.

Brandon Colborn and Teagan Lubinski might have more luck snowboarding down the Landslide Park riverbank along West Sixth Street after the couple inches of snow that fell in Crookston Sunday evening. But they made the best of what was barely covering the grass on Friday.
