Detour reminders: Hwy 59 & 108 are OPEN up to the construction on Main St. Once you get into town, if you are coming from the south on 59 (Erhard) or east on 108 (Dent) there is a in-town detour that takes you behind the high school up to 108W. If you are coming from the north on 59 (Detroit Lakes) or west on 108 (I-94) you will not be affected. The detours that are outside of town are "Truck"/semi routes. And also a reminder that downtown businesses ARE OPEN!

February is cat breeding season (yes, there’s actually a season).

February is Feline Fix by Five awareness month! We’re helping to spread the word about the best time to spay and neuter kittens – BEFORE five months of age! Kittens can be safely spayed or neutered once they are two months (or once they weigh two pounds). Talk to your veterinarian if you have any questions about your cat, and you can also learn more at felinefixbyfive.org

The best way to prevent frostnip & frostbite this winter is to not expose pets to the cold for prolonged periods of time – in other words, know when it’s time to go back inside or just stay inside in the first place!
