Blood drive exceeds goal

Donations to the American Red Cross blood drive on Jan. 7 in Sleepy Eye exceeded by three units the event’s goal of 122 collections, according to coordinators. They thanked the Herald-Dispatch, Sleepy Eye Online, the Sportsmen’s Club, Americana Bank, Schutz Family Foods and all the donors and workers at the Event Center.

Hockey Day kudos

Sending out words of both congrats and thanks to the NUSE Board Members and countless volunteers, sponsors, and families who put on another successful Hockey Day in New Ulm this past Saturday at the Civic Center.

Thank you for flag

The United States flag on the east side of Sleepy Eye is amazing! What a beautiful sight! A huge “Thank You,” to all involved in getting this project completed. One more reason to be proud to live in Sleepy Eye! God bless America!

Know you are loved

Hoping that I had protected this tree that I have kept for 15 years, I was disturbed to see the leaves turn purple and fall off. After five days, only one leaf remained… Then, with a glimmer of hope, a bright green bud sprouted. A month later, there is new growth.
