Moving forward with the Bradley Jobe Memorial Garden.  Ness Granite Works Inc. from Detroit Lakes Minnesota will be doing the stones and benches for our garden.  Families will be able to order the stones soon.  We are also speaking with St. John's Lutheran Church of Warner to do the landscaping this spring.
