Talk of the Town: March 20, 2023

House guests last week for a couple days at the Candy Jensen home were grand-niece Katie Koepplin and her four legged friends; Papo, Ross and Feebee, while her grandparents, Rick and Cora Koepplin, drove to Grandforks where Rick had surgery on his hand for carpal tunnel.

Todd Harrison cleared snow from his Aunt Shirley Packard’s yard on Sunday. Later in the week, Todd and Calvin moved more of that white stuff.

Wednesday, Amanda Bickett treated mom, Marvis Holte, to tea at the Prairie Inn in Carrington. Later Amanda and Izzy visited at the Holte home.

Janet Laube and YipYip enjoyed Sunday phone calls with Lois Ockert and Travis Laube. Finding out Fargo was digging out from the recent snow storm.

Ken and Marvis Holte got some good news from Marvis’ brother, Cory, and Midge Birkholze of Grandforks: their daughter Ava received a cheerleading award. Ava is a senior at Grandforks high school and has been involved and a leader in cheerleading during her years there.

Tuesday, Calvin Packard drove mom, Shirley, to Carrington for a clinic appointment and later did some shopping. Friday, Mary Gehrtz was a helpler at Shirley’s.
