The sweet chill of pumpkin and crisp

Weekly News Article
For the week of October 5th
Hello All, I am sad that I will no longer be turning my articles in to Bev and Joyce at the Askov American. They were wonderful to work with. It had to be a difficult task dealing with everything on a short deadline. I also miss Shawn Jansen. She was a dream to work with. Always conscientious and willing to go that extra mile. I also enjoyed Marlana Benzie-Lourey at the paper. They are all wonderful ladies that did an amazing job putting a paper out that was worth the read. I have been having a hard time with this change over I have to admit. I enjoy writing, but I too am considering whether I want to keep doing this article. If anyone is interested in writing it…please let me know. That does not mean that I will stop writing it yet. I would just like to know if someone is interested in case I want to stop. Please send me an email if you have an interest.
Star Mikrot sent me some news: A craft fair and bake sale will be held Saturday, October 17, 2020 from 10 am to 2 pm at the Church of Victory in Askov. Vendors and crafters, secure your spot by contacting Community Connection Allies at 320-838-8700. No admission fee and lunch available. Thanks Star!

Please remember to get your ballots in the mail asap if you are mail ballot districts. The sooner the better. If you have not registered to vote, you may register on the Minnesota Secretary of State website or with Pine County or even with your Town Clerk. At the polls they will have voter registration forms available also. If you want to vote absentee ballot, stop in the courthouse at Pine City and vote. You may also drop them off at the courthouse on election day, but they must be received by 8 pm. When filling out the ballot make sure to use a black ball point pen and fill out the circle completely. Also, remember to sign your name to the proper signature line on the back of the inside white ballot envelope…You’ll know where to sign because it says “signature” and has an X by it.
