Another homecoming has come and gone and the joy of having accomplished a job well done. Hurray for the parents of Grantfork children.

It is such a joy to see the effort, ingenuity and love that is put in every float built for your parade and for your community.

This year’s parade was an exceptional effort. Over the years I have seen floats of planes, trains, automobiles and this year you added a school bus.

The book theme was fabulous with Harry Potter, “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie,” “The Very Hungry Caterpillar,” and so many more.

A standing ovation for the parade, and for the community spirit and involvement in your homecoming.

This year’s Grantfork Historical Society Rummage Sale will be Sept. 14-16 at the Auction Barn on Route 160 in Grantfork.

Items may be dropped off 4-7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 5. Not accepting books, clothing or electronic items.

There will be a lunch stand as well as a bake sale at this event.

Registration for St. Gertrude’s PSR classes for the school year 2023-2024 is going on now.

Classes for students in grades K-8 will meet 6:30-7:45 p.m. Wednesday evenings beginning in September.

Yearly cost of the classes will be $50 per child and is due at the first class.
