One of the Willkommen signs in New Ulm glowed in blue
light last year, as part of the campaign to draw attention
to colorectal cancer. Various signs and landmarks will be
bathed in blue light again this year.
NEW ULM March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness month and New Ulm is shining a light on this disease by lighting up several places in the community.
The city authorizes a blue night-time illumination at Hermann Monument, Defenders Monument and Gertie the Goose. Other organizations in town are joining in with blue lighting symbolizing colorectal cancer. The New Ulm Willkommen signs, Goosetown Fire Station, the Martin Luther College Sign are a few of the other locations going blue in March.
