Doing an ‘Annie’ double take

For more than 80 years, the mop-topped Little Orphan Annie has lived adventures in the pages of comic books, on Broadway stages and even on the big screen.

This weekend, Alison Basney and Ali Richardson will bring the lovable red head to life in Litchfield Community Theatre’s production of “Annie.”


Watercade in pictures

The 52nd annual Watercade celebration has come to close in Litchfield. But take a look back at Watercade 2008 in photos.


In search of lost treasure

Ralph Madison is not a pirate, but he sure likes his buried treasure. Rare coins, old jewelry, antique toys — he likes finding treasures of all kinds.

Most of all, however, he likes the hunt.

“There’s always that thrill of what it is,” Madison said.


New royalty to reign in coming year

Miss Litchfield 2008-09 Ashley Krug was crowned Sunday night in the high school gymnasium. Also, crowned were princesses Kayti Warpula and Natasha Reed. Watch a slideshow of photos from the event.


Let's play ball

Children from around the area enjoy the baseball and softball programs put on by Litchfield Community Education every summer. There are four skill levels in which boys and girls can participate, beginning at age four and progressing through grade six. See a slideshow here of photos from a recent practice.


Friends plan benefit for Litchfield graduate

Ron Christensen does not dwell on the latest cancer research, nor does he try to figure out just where his personal battle with the disease fits into the myriad of statistics concerning survival rates.


Savoring the season

Nearly all strawberry lovers will tell you that the Minnesota strawberry season is just too short. It seems to sneak up in mid-June and pass by in a flurry of summer activities.

This year, however, a late crop is giving strawberry pickers a little more time to stock up on a favorite summertime fruit.

Most berry farms opened last week, a week or two later than usual, due to Minnesota’s cool spring. Because strawberries like cool weather, it’s having a positive effect on the 2008 crop.


Step into the great outdoors

In a land where winter winds and freezing temperatures coop up people for months on end, the first hint of summer has the power to pull them from their hibernating homes.

For we, Minnesotans, sure love the outdoors.


Surviving and thriving

It was the last game of the year, and Michael Berger was standing on the free-throw line ready to shoot a basket.

He had spent his entire fifth-grade season on the bench, collecting shoot-around baskets and handing out water. He’d dressed for every game but since it was just months after his cancer surgery, he couldn’t play.
