History Hullabaloo

The Minnesota Historical Society and the University
of Minnesota sponsored this History Day program,
and the Library hosted it here on January 5 and
22 mostly for Olmsted County students, although
students from Jackson county also made the
three-hour drive. Participating students were
mentored individually by Historical Society staff
and U. of MN. student history majors, with our
Library staff aiding in locating materials for their History Day completion project. The Friends
staffed the registration table and provided juice, cookies and coffee for the participants and parents.
Special thanks to volunteers Elizabeth Ritman, Elaine Schmidt, Majel Hall and Carol Mikesh.
