The global pandemic known as COVID-19 has had an inescapable impact on all levels of community living in Detroit Lakes over the past 11 months, and while its spread is currently on the wane, its effects are still being felt especially when it comes to educating our children.
The Interact volunteer service clubs from Detroit Lakes and Frazee high school raised more than $1,000 for the family in the first two hours of their drive-thru, pulled-pork fundraiser on Saturday, Jan. 23, running from noon to 6 p.m., at Detroit Lakes High School.
