Spring book readers: No foolin’! You can bring a story to life this April 16-20 in the United Way of Freeborn County spring readers project. Call Ann Austin at 373-8670 to pick a school and an elementary class grades kindergarten to third-grade and a date to read the new, locally written and published story, “Timmy Learns a Lesson.” It’s sure to add fun to everyone’s day.
