This month, we celebrate TWO YEARS of telling the stories of northern Minnesota women.
This time, we’re offering you our biggest issue ever, 64 pages full of articles, photos, puzzles and local ads, not to mention our 2010 Northwoods Woman Fiction Contest winner.
In this issue, meet Katie Houg, an adventurous young woman who spent the frigid winter in a tipi with her boyfriend, Sam.
Also, we talk about providing hospice care for the mentally disabled and introduce readers to Bob, a dying man who wanted to tell us about his experience with hospice.
Bemidji hosts its five-year All School Reunion in August, so we mark the occasion with features about some notable Bemidji High School graduates. Did you know Bemidji has sent FIVE women to the Olympics? Is there something in the water?
There’s a story about tiny Nevis raising money for Haiti earthquake victims. Even though the Haitian earthquake is largely out of the news, the people there still need help.
And don’t miss the back-page commentary, about a spooky experience in a Park Rapids garden.
Northwoods Woman was delivered to most Bemidji locations today. The rest will be delivered Friday and Saturday. Enjoy!
