From the Editor’s Desk
This time of year can always feel a little more challenging for me than other times of the year. From the last week of September through Christmas Day, I work a schedule that burns the candle at both ends between photography, the newspapers, and the boutique, and thus many of my relatives and friends have come to the realization that they’re just simply not going to hear from me much until the next year.
KK Berge building arts gallery under renovation
The KK Berge building in downtown Granite Falls is getting a touch of a makeover. Tamara Isfeld, on the board of Granite Area Arts Council, said that “We just updated the gift shop and now we are redoing flooring and putting in some gallery walls to display art. One wall will be on moveable to adjust for classes, and different types of exhibits. We are fortunate enough to have our industrial tech high school students helping with this project.” Granite Area Arts Council is able to do the renovations, which started October 4th, thanks to receiving a grant from the Southwest Minnesota Arts Council. The gallery will remain closed until renovations have been completed.
