The 8th District Minnesota State Horticultural Society has awarded eight scholarships in 2021 to students from counties in Northeast Minnesota who have an interest in gardening. Funds for the scholarships were received from various sources including garden clubs and groups, gardeners and memorials, Lakeland resident Jan Dzwonkowski, member of the MSHS, said in a news release.
The top scholarship, the $600 Sharon Wildung Memorial Scholarship, was awarded to Andrea Hille of Carlton.

Itâs an early Wednesday morning at the Super One South store in Grand Rapids and the store is buzzing as approximately 20 ElderCircle volunteers take their assigned shopping lists to shop for older adults. When the last shopper has gone through the check-out lane this particular week, the volunteers will have shopped for many older adult households.Â
These shoppers are part of a group of more than 80 volunteers for the ElderCircle Groceries To Go grocery delivery program. The program has one goal â to deliver groceries to older adults in Itasca County.Â
In addition to volunteer shoppers, the program also utilizes volunteer order takers and delivery drivers who have all selflessly given their time and talents every week to make sure the most vulnerable of the areaâs population are still receiving food.
