2012 SENIOR DAY AT THE FAIR

We had a wonderful day for the Itasca County Senior Day at the Fair!  Many vendors came to offer information on their products and services; Walgreens even offered flu shots.  The 2012 Outstanding Senior Citizen award winners, Marian Sjostrand and Ray Pletcher, received their awards, and an delicious free lunch, sponsored by the Moose Club and the VFW, was served by elected officials to over 450 seniors.  Thanks to the vendors, the Moose Club and VFW for providing lunch, the elected officials for serving the lunch and presenting the awards, and the Itasca County Fair Board!

Here are some great pictures from the day!
