On Thursday, May 16, we held a fishing class called “School of Fish” to teach young kids and a couple of adults the basics of fishing. We had a great turnout with 34 students. Each student received a rod and reel, tackle box, T-shirt, and more. This class was possible through equal donations from the Kimball Rod & Gun Club, Kimball Fire Department, Kimball Lions, and Kimball Legion. A HUGE “Thank You” goes out to these organizations for helping put this on. We look forward to doing it again next year!
Congratulations to the Kimball Senior Choir for a fantastic performance in their concert Sunday evening, May 19.
Thank you so much to the seniors: Summer Swaisgood, Kaylyn Mancini, Logan Bartholomew, Camen Markgraf, Nessa Dahle, and Blake Fox for the beautiful yellow roses and candy. It’s been great having most of you for students since kindergarten.
Also thanks to the choir for the dozen red roses and gift card to the Olive Garden. You are the most amazing choir I could ever dream of directing.
Special thanks to the “Boosters” for their financial help for the transportation to the Chanhassen Theater. It was a fabulous experience for all the students to tour the theater and see how a large production is made, be on the stage, visit the seamstress for the wardrobe to see how the costumes are made, etc., and then have a fantastic lunch and see the musical “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.” What a wonderful day.
Thank you so much!

The success of this event was due to all involved; all volunteers for organizing and working this event, all vendors and artisans for participating, everyone who donated items for the silent auction and everyone who took time out of a busy day to shop and bid on items! Thank you all for making this day fun and successful for the Eden Valley Area Library! We raised more than $1,400 for the Library with your help!

Thank you, Kimball First Responders and Watkins Ambulance.
A very heart-felt thanks to all the volunteer ambulance people and responders that came to my aid when I fell down our steps on Mothers Day. I know it wasn’t easy to get me out of the house and to the hospital that day. You were all very prompt and courteous, and it was much appreciated.
