CENSUS: from Britta Arendt via Herald Review, VERBATIM: “There is just one week left for residents of Itasca County to self-respond to the 2020 Census and be counted for representation in regional, state and national decision-making. As of this week, just 55% of Itasca County residents have responded. Ten years ago, the final county self-response rate was 57.9% of households. This contributed to the state nearly losing the Eighth Congressional District to another state because of low response to the 2010 Census.

CONTEST FOR CITY RESIDENTSGet your creative juices flowing, help us create an updated City logo!  The current logo for the City of LaPrairie is first seen in the records on June 20, 1990.  While it is a great depiction of the “confluence of the Mississippi and Prairie Rivers,” it is time for an updated version.  The contest is open to all ages to provide an updated logo to represent the City in today’s computerized world.  All logos should be submitted to the City by November 30, 2020.  The logos can be dropped off at City Hall between the hours of 8:30 a.m.
