Old Cornstalk Festival barn being moved Thursday

(Regal MN-) The barn that was converted into a stage for the Corn Stalk festivals at the old County Line Bar in Regal is being moved today. KNSI Radio says the barn owners, Scott and Becky Mueller, plan to move the 93-year-old barn across Highway 55 and onto 140 acres the couple bought across Highway 55 from where the barn stood since 1991. The trip covers about a quarter mile on Highway 55, then another quarter mile on a gravel road that was built last week because the field was too bumpy for the barn to cross. Footings were poured Wednesday. The barn will sit on them through the winter, and the restoration could start this winter or wait until spring. Eventually, the Muellers want to ressurrect Cornstalk Fest.

The sights and sounds of the holiday season will roll through Wright County on Wednesday, Dec. 16, when the Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) Holiday Train makes stops in Buffalo and Annandale, bringing live entertainment and Christmas cheer while helping to fight hunger.

He said that he hoped to accomplish three main things once in office. “I want to keep the county’s finances on solid footing, with a strong reserve and a budget that doesn’t take more from taxpayers than it needs,” Dunlap said. He also said he wanted to make sure that county board meetings would be public and easily accessible to the public. Dunlap said his third goal is to be a commissioner that is available to the community. “I want to be a commissioner people can reach, and I’ll explain my votes so residents know where I stand and why,” he said.
