Wright-Cromwell News

Sympathy to the family of Faye A. Thomas, 92, of Cromwell, who passed away Sept. 17. Services were held Sept. 21 at Nelson Funeral Care. A special thank you to the staff at Villa Vista Care Center and St. Croix Hospice for the caring nature and personal touch they provided for Faye.

The Cromwell Forest Hill Cemetery Association Board has been working diligently to update cemetery records. If you own a site in the cemetery, please contact Terry Olson at 218-390-0087 or Peggy Olson at 218-390-4210 to confirm your information. We would like all association members to confirm the information we have for them on file.

There will be a Lincoln Log Building Challenge at Villa Vista at 1 p.m. Friday, Sept. 27.

There will be a lasagna supper at St. John’s in Wright 4-7 p.m. Saturday. Takeouts available.

The communities of Cromwell-Wright School are invited to visit our school forest and the newly built learning pavilion on Tuesday, Oct. 1. Visitors are welcome to tour the grounds 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Cromwell-Wright school forest offers not only an outdoor learning space for our students, but also beautiful hiking trails available to the community.

Did you know that there is a men’s breakfast group that meets at Bethany Lutheran Church on the first Saturday of the month at 8 a.m. All area men are welcome to join.

The coffee is always on at Bethany on Mondays 8:30-10 a.m. for those interested in joining the conversation.

Cromwell Mayor Sharon Zelazny has announced that there will be a dedication of the new warning siren in Cromwell during YOT on Tuesday, Oct. 8 at the pavilion in Cromwell. I hope to have more information next week. It took several grants to get this siren.

I have a gal who is willing to make lap robes, etc., but she needs more yarn. So if you have any to donate, please let me know and I will get it to her.

I have now received more copies of the Perk Peterson book, so if you are interested, please give me a call and I will find a way to get one to you. They will also be available at the Cromwell Area History Club and hopefully at the RedBird Craft Sale Dec. 9 at the school. Even if you never knew the Peterson family, the stories are incredible and they really reflect our area in the last century.

Our best wishes go out to Lincoln and Jeanne Hansen, who have been dealing with medical issues recently.

The Farmers Market at Tad and Birdie’s is still open every Friday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on South Finn Road until the end of harvest season.

And here are a few more reminders:

The Area Clothing Depot is open Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. every week.

Farmers Co-op Store hours are Monday through Saturday 8 a.m.-6 p.m. and Sundays 9 a.m.-3 p.m.

Wright Seniors meet every Wednesday at 1 p.m.

Play cribbage at 6 p.m. every Tuesday at Villa Vista. Community is encouraged to attend.

I’ll leave you with this quote by Mason Cooley: “Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are.”

That’s all the news from the Edge of Wright.
