Et Cetera …

Visual Identity Vault

Thank you to Jay and Tanya Doyscher for their generous contribution to help the small businesses in Martin County. Their business, Visual Identity Vault in downtown Fairmont is offering a free 2ft x 3ft banner for businesses in Martin County. The banner can include the name of the business, contact information, carry-out or delivery information and business hours and be displayed outside of the establishment.

We echo Jay’s thoughts when he states, “We want everyone to stay safe and healthy and to continue to shop local and support the small businesses in whatever way they can.”

Prairie Star Quilt Guild

We commend another local group, the Prairie Star Quilt Guild. Guild member Kathy Wilkening saw the project on the internet and Guild president Carolyn Seidel sent an email to the 50 guild members in Martin County with the pattern and information to make face masks for residents of area nursing homes and assisted living facilities. The masks will first be distributed in Martin County and then to other facilities in the Twin Cities.

Thank you Prairie Star Quilt Guild for your groups’ effort in protecting our senior population and helping prevent the spread of germs in our senior housing facilities.

Respect COVID-19

Community spread continues in Martin County. As of Friday, 32 cases of confirmed Coronavirus have been reported in Martin County. We cannot stress enough the importance of social distancing, hand washing and not gathering in groups. Martin County Sheriff Jeff Markquart says they are getting calls of people getting together in groups and in homes. You cannot do this if we are to stop the community spread in our County!

Please respect COVID-19 and the consequences that come with contracting this terrible disease. Our actions today, tomorrow and for the weeks to come will decide the future health of Martin County.
