Sled dog race!    The White Oak Classic
Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 21 and 22       Deer River to Northome

2006 Youth Tour to Washington, D.C.

It's not just an ordinary sightseeing tour.

And it's not a week filled with lectures.

On June 10-15, one junior or senior high school student from the membership of North Itasca Electric will be sponsored to attend the national cooperative Washington, D.C. Youth Tour in the nation's capitol. It will be a week for about 1,400 students from cooperatives around the country to gather to meet their legislators, experience leadership opportunities, see historical monuments, tour museums, enjoy theater, meet new people and have fun.

Riding Club Organizes

“We’re not out to win contests, we’re just out to have fun,” said Jill Letsch.

She was talking about a new riding club that has formed in Effie, the Northwoods Saddle Club. It’s a group of horse owners that want to learn more about their hobby and ways to have fun with their horses, and it is looking for members and ideas.
