Linda Kalli, Leslie Hutar, Darci Dahl, Faith Nyberg and Jennie K. Hanson attended the first meeting of the Wrong Days in Wright Committee April 22 at Kalli’s in Wright. Items for discussion included events to be included on poster, raffle prizes, and the general coordination of this year’s event held July 19-21. Also discussed was the possibility of having a dunk tank, as suggested by several people attending last year’s event, and the need to find people to organize it and run it. Jana Anderson has agreed to look into this. The next meeting is at 6 p.m. Monday, May 13, at Kalli’s. All other community organizations are encouraged to participate in Wrong Days. Let the committee know your plans so you can be included on the WD’s poster. The one addition this year will be a band Saturday night: former Wright native Jason Benson and his band Loose Change from the Hoyt Lakes area. If you have any ideas, let Linda Kalli (218-878-7876) or any of the committee members know.
