Excellent meeting last night in Appleton!  I have uploaded the video for those of you here on the MNbump that were unable to make the meeting.

There were many from Big Stone County that were employed by the Appleton prison – they were a significant employer for our region!   If you’d like to see this facility re-opened, please go to their new website and see how you can help.
