It's Herald Week

This sign was originally hung by Stan and Terry Blake in 1975.
It's been painted a couple times since. Looks like it could use another coat.

Yesterday the Carver County Board of Commissioners designated the week as "Chaska Herald Week," publishing a lengthy proclamation extolling the virtues of our 150-year-old institution. After writing about them for a century and a half, it was nice having them write something about us.
The very first issue was printed exactly 150 years ago this week. Stan served as its publisher for 30 years, possibly the longest tenure of any Herald publisher, although that claim is in dispute -- but nobody has bothered to look it up yet, so it still stands.
(Hey, this is political season, truth ain't everything! We're not going to have our celebration marred by fact checkers!)
