We have had many unique and exciting first experiences over the past year, one of which was participating in an audio story that set out to capture what was at the heart of River Rock, community. Tomorrow the story is being presented at the Nicollet County Historical Society’s Annual Meeting held at Gustavus Adolphus College. Come listen! Our story along with audio stories from Lindsey at Janelles and Rose over at Ace Hardware will have upcoming broadcasts on KMSU radio. We will keep you updated on when to tune in!
