Talk of the Town - Aug 5, 2019

New Rockford and area folks extend sympathy to the family of Pat Caulifield.

Last Saturday Candy Jensen was among family and friends who took 30th surprise birthday greetings to Michael Allmaras at Hanson's Bar in New Rockford. Michael and wife Traci were also celebrating their sixth anniversary.

Martin and Eloise Lucht joined in a gathering of the families of the late Mickey and Darcy Thompson at the Aaron and Kim Weber farm home. All enjoyed catching up and eating. The kids and seven family dogs enjoyed the wide open spaces.

Leo Laube was a patient at Carrington Medical Center for a couple days following a fall. He is home and doing okay. Sunday visitors at the Laube home were grandson Travis Laube and friend Malissa of Fargo.

Candy Jensen celebrated her 68th birthday Wednesday. The good wishes of the day started early in the morning and were corning off and on all day. Noon found her being treated to dinner at the Rockford Cafe’ by Terry and Sandy Koepplin, joined by Melony Allmaras, Traci Allrnaras, Asher and Jersey and Gina Clifton. At supper she was a guest at cousin Charlotte Koepplin's where the calls kept corning. One afternoon Mindy Skjerva and baby Audrey Jo took Candy out for a treat.

Wednesday Cody and Amanda Bickett picked up mom and dad, Ken and Marvis Holte and they drove to Fessenden and enjoyed visiting over pizza at Rosa's Pizza.

Pink confetti flew Sunday evening at the Taylor and Amanda Koepplin home as they and family and friends found out for the first time that the Koepplin’s would be the parents of a bouncing baby girl in December. Prior to the pink confetti a potluck supper was enjoyed by all along with betting on their choice of a girl or boy. A happy time.
