Biggest Event Since Elton John Concert!


That’s the buzz in northern MN regarding the upcoming “Do YOU have what it Takes?” competition on Saturday, February 11, in Duluth MN, sponsored by Drops of Hope.

Drops of Hope is a group of high school students and business advisors from Duluth MN who have partnered with the Rotary Club of Duluth and GTLI to bring clean water to Hamar people of Ethiopia. www.whatittakes.us
 

These wonderful young people from Proctor, MN’s DECA club have organized an amazing “Have Fun, Do Good” fundraising extravaganza. On February 11, the “best” singing and/or dance groups from 46 high schools in northern MN will compete for top honors. All proceeds from the event will go directly to GTLI clean water projects in Hamarland.
 
And, watch out “Guinness Book of World Records,” another world’s record is about to be smashed. On 18 February, thousands of hardy Minnesotans are gathering to create over 5,100 SNOW ANGELS!  Providing even more “Hope for Hamar.”

I always knew MN was a special place. Of course, I’m biased. It’s my birthplace (Mahnomen, MN) as well as my 3 children and 3 grandchildren.
