To the Editor,
Last Friday night Lanesboro experienced a severe wind storm that brought down numerous large trees and caused property damage across town, including Sylvan Park. Within minutes, our city crews responded and did an amazing job to clean up the park to make it ready for the following day’s Art in the Park. I even witnessed a police officer with a chain saw! Not an ordinary task and certainly not in the job description. All across town I saw neighbors helping neighbors clear trees and debris. Our local DNR crew was out also clearing the bike trail into the following morning.
We as a community are very fortunate to have these individual working for us. Many times their efforts go unnoticed and taken for granted. Lanesboro is a city that works. Please take the time to thank these dedicated souls the next time you run into them. They will definitely appreciate it!
