December 2011

This Musher reluctantly pulled over for me Sunday, November 20th.  I was leaving deer hunting land 10 miles north of Hovland, MN, on what's called the Camp 20 Road.  He was on a training run with a dozen dogs.  The ATV in the background was  being towed by the dogs!  Once the dogs start running, the musher really dislikes stopping them because of their desire to run and run and run!

Starring Role.  Two Victoria girls, Tayler Mechtel, left, daughter of Bob and Aleta Mechtel, and Caroline Pernat, daughter of Scott and Courtney Pernat, and are sharing the role of Susan in the upcoming Chaska Valley Family Theatre production of "White Christmas."  This is the first lead role for either girl, and they are both thrilled.  The entire cast and crew have worked tremendously hard, and it's sure to be a wonderful production.  The show runs from December 2nd to 11th at the Chanhassen High School.  This photo of Caroline and Tayler was taken at a promo event at the Hazeltine Golf Club.
