CLOQUET — It's the first week our print edition is on newsstands on Fridays, which is why I bumped this newsletter back a day, as well. Don't worry — you'll still be able to find all the same kinds of news you did before, it will just be a day later.
If you find yourself wondering what's going on before the newsletter comes out, remember to visit pinejournal.com for our latest headlines. We update the website every day.
We've got a lot of news for your consideration this week, but before we jump in, I wanted to let you know that the Thanksgiving deals I mentioned a few weeks ago is still on! Be sure to check out the deals before it's too late, and thank you for supporting local journalism!
Here are this week's headlines:
Lighting the way

New storefront
Abundant Baby, a Cloquet business that offers clothing and products for babies, children and moms, has opened a storefront.
Pictured above, from left, Bethany Sunnarborg, Colleen Sunnarborg and Jenna Gilbert started the venture by selling products online and going to trade shows, but took the plunge last month and opened a brick and mortar store.
Elite company
Cloquet's Ava Carlson is our inaugural All-Area Volleyball Player of the Year. The junior is only the fourth player in the Lumberjacks' nearly 50-year history to be named to the All-State Team.
She's joined by six fellow Carlton County athletes on our 2022 All-Area Volleyball Team.
