Nature preschool prep
Some of Barnum's youngest learners will soon get to learn in a nature preschool program.
The program, which starts this fall, will allow 4- and 5-year-olds to spend three hours learning outside daily (weather permitting).

Over the summer, volunteers and staff have worked to build an outdoor space where the children will play and learn, like the sandbox seen above.
100 years old ... or 98?
During this year's Carlton Daze celebration, the Carlton County Historical Society celebrated the courthouse's 100th anniversary -- or 98th, depending on who you talk to.
Historical society president Sue Zmyslony said there was some debate over when the building turns 100, as a plaque in the entrance shows that it was erected in 1922-1923 and it was dedicated in 1924.
'It's a lifestyle'
After a two-year hiatus because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Paddlemania returned to the St. Louis River in conjunction with Carlton Daze.
Kayakers from across the Midwest and Canada made the trip to compete in the event.
