Notes from the Granite Area Arts Council
I’m writing this column on a calm Monday afternoon, but by the time it goes to print on Wednesday, it’s more than likely (a 91% chance, at least according to my most recent AccuWeather check) that we will be buried under a foot of snow. Incredibly, a foot is the conservative estimate. I suppose the silver lining is that there will be lots of snow-sculpture-creation material on hand (and around feet, and in boots, and -- if you’re very unlucky -- down the neck of your jacket), so hopefully the yards of Granite Falls will at least get some neat forts and snowmen out of the deal.
Chippewa County commissioners discuss site proposal costs
