Preschool Watches, Final Touches, and Highway 44 Opens
Walking along Main Street last night was so exciting - seeing the new lights, the finished road, the smooth sidewalks, and more. I can't wait until spring when the landscaping begins to make downtown even more beautiful. I noticed one of the new snowflakes for the street lights was up and the festive mood is starting. I hope many of you are able to make it to the ribbon cutting tomorrow - a great event for our town that will bring the generations together by including all the students from Spring Grove Public School. The ribbon will be cut by Student Council President Nicki Ellingson and Mayor Bruce Poole.
Check out the great photos below - some are from Monday November 18 taken by Spring Grove Communications and some are from Tuesday November 19 taken by Giants of the Earth showing the preschool students watching the final layer. Pictures are at the end of this page.
The following just came from MnDOT.
