In the summertime, our specialty is photography

My summer is spent shooting photos.

There are lots of festivals and other events going on in and around Jordan during the summertime. Most recently, Mark Olson of the Chaska Herald and I shot the Scott Carver Threshers Festival. Just prior to that excellent annual get-together, Jordan Independent Staff Writer Brandon Otte and I shot the Scott County Fair. 

These are good times and fun work for a journalist.


Covering county fairs: One of the best parts of my job

Jordan is busy with many events during the summertime, and they all have their upsides.

For me, born and raised a city kid, one of the best events is the Scott County Fair.


County board met Jan. 8

The Scott County Board met Tuesday, Jan. 8. Here's what they did, according to a press release from the administrator's office:

- The commissioners received a federal issues update from U.S. Rep. John Kline, R-Minn., who discussed concerns that ranged from the earmarking process to the larger economy.

- Carrying on a long tradition, Commissioner Barbara Marschall, as 2007 county board chairwoman, presented the annual Year in Review presentation, which was organized by the board's five strategic initiatives.
