While doing some spring cleaning and reorganizing, members of the Middle River American Legion and Auxiliary Unit Post 444 came across some very impressive and important awards and letter belonging to Hjalmar and Hugo Talkkari. The brothers were residents of Middle River, living on the farm currently owned by Dave and Karleen Thompson. Both documents were from 1945 during World War II.

Since they can’t all have the same color, Libby and Tessa think they should each be different. Nicole wants blue. Neither Libby nor Tessa think they look good in yellow. Tessa doesn’t like bright colors. Can something this small break up a friendship?” Cast members included Maelee Christianson, Ava Novacek, and Brylie Kjersten.
