Letters from our readers: A good history lesson

Pipestone County Star ·

2024/07/12

Letters from our readers: Farmer's Market needs a home

Pipestone County Star ·

2024/07/12

TO THE EDITOR: So why is the Farmers Market trying to find another location for their sales (2 hours on Wednesday, 4 hours on Saturday)? I’m told they had all their permits and okay from the city for the city owned public parking off Second St. N.W. I was informed that the parking across from the post office was also unavailable. It would seem something would be available by the city for these businesses. Bob Klinsing PipestoneArticle Link
