The third annual Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s in Albert Lea took place on Saturday. Instead of hosting a large gathering this year, people were encouraged to walk as individuals or in small groups on sidewalks, tracks and trails across the city. This year’s honorary family was the Dyrdal/Agbodji family. - Photo courtesy Holly Karsjens Fine Art Photography
