Check out the Grantsburg sign

On June 4 Becky and Tim Tessman, Lucille Danielson and Linnea and Rich Seume worked their magic on the Grantsburg sign. Tim watered the night before and Becky reported the weeding was much easier for it. Thank you all for a great job. Tim will continue to water throughout the summer but would love some help with the weeding. Any time you think of it, stop by and pull a few weeds. Grantsburg and the Tessmans will be grateful!
