Up, Up, Up and Away! by Sue Orsen/The Victoria Gazette. “It was August 13th when I found myself following Randy Miller and Rick Stucki to the rooftop of Victoria’s Market. The purpose was to get a 4-foot diameter balloon filled with helium, raised to float above the grocery store.”

A Trip with Dawg and then Dad by Chuck Freiberg, Up North Cabin Guy. “We put Lester to sleep earlier this month. It never gets any easier. We loved him a lot. It was also a big month for my father.

Deer Run Garden Crawl by Nan Emmer, Victoria, MN. “The Garden Crawl started 10 years ago with four gardens all located in the Deer Run neighborhood.”

Picking the Mayor’s Mind by Sue Orsen/The Victoria Gazette. Replied Mayor Tom O’Connor, “Victoria is no longer thought of as merely a traffic light between Chanhassen and Waconia. We are a highly desired, primarily residential community. We are very lucky to live in a wonderful city. Our challenge is to continue down this same path.”

Golf and a Higher Level of Being by Tom Abts, Deer Run Golf Pro. “In the great questions of life, such as What is love? or What is the meaning of life?, I would add, What is motivation? It is the root of life. It defines a culture, large or small.”

One the Links Just for fun by Tom Stumpf, Cowboy Correspondent. “Professor Abts has frequently extolled the virtues of participating in the sport of pasture pool for something more than simply competing for low scores.”
