May is designated as Older American’s Month. In 1963, President John F. Kennedy designated the month of May of that year as Senior Citizens Month after a meeting with the National Council of Senior Citizens. The designation was to encourage the nation to pay tribute to older people across the nation.

The Horseshoe Lake Ballroom was in business for a long time, located on the lake that is northeast of Browerville. A good number of bands passed through its doors, drawing crowds from near and far over the years. If you lived in the area, you most likely knew of the ballroom.

"Newspapers' place in history"
"Newspapers' Place in History" shows how newspapers were produced in the past, using letterpress equipment. It also describes the important role newspapers play in democracy.
The DVD was shot at the Minnesota Newspaper Museum, located on the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in St. Paul. The museum funded by private donations is a working newspaper office as they were in the 1930s.
This is a snippet of the 15 minute documentary produced by the Minnesota Newspaper Foundation with a generous grant from the Minnesota Historical Society's Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund, made possible by the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment to the Minnesota Constitution established in November of 2008.
To order a full-length DVD version, to donate to the operation of the museum or for more information contact Julie Bergman, julie@wiktel.com, 1004 20th Ave SE, East Grand Forks, MN 56721
