At the Jan. 19 Redwood Falls City Council meeting, Major Quackenbush requested the City Council approve James Darr to the Police Commission. The Council approved his appointment. Nicholas Esping was also sworn in as a police officer of Redwood Falls.
The Celebrate Redwood Falls Committee normally hosts an event in February known as the Fire and Ice Festival. Due to social distancing requirements and crowd size requirements mandated by the governor’s office, the committee has limited the event to a fireworks show only this year. They requested, and received, permission to use Memorial Park (in between the city pool and baseball field) for the event, which will take place on Feb. 6, as well as a few key involvement pieces including having the city remove snow for the fireworks team, the usage of safety cones, and presence of police for any safety concerns,
