When a downtown area has as rich of a history as Bemidji’s does, certain historical aspects are often preserved for decades. Such is the case for 218 Clothing + Gift, a shop housed in a small building with a rich history that has stood the test of time.
Tom Welle, chairman of the board of First National Bank Bemidji, died on Dec. 9 at the age of 71. His funeral will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday, Dec. 16, at St. Philip’s Catholic Church in Bemidji.
