I almost forgot. I got an e-mail earlier in the week about the Carlton County DFL “fun-raiser” at “Larry the Laborers” house of 97 E. Palkie Road in Esko. It runs 1-5 p.m. today with music and food. Former Gov. Wendell Anderson, founder of the “Minnesota Miracle” education system and the only living DFL governor, will make a special appearance. They’re asking $50 with the availability of Minnesota’s political contribution refund program. Should be a good time.
