Talk of the Town: July 10, 2023

New Rockford and area folks extend sympathy to the family of Ardyce Snyder.

Thursday, Shirley Packard's daughter Cindy Toben of Shoreview, Minn. arrived with her granddaughter Kinley from Tyler, Minn. for an early Fourth of July visit. Friday, the gals enjoyed a drive to Devils Lake for a fun day of shopping and activities. On the way to Devils Lake, they stopped at White Horse Hill (formerly Sully's Hill), where they saw buffalo and prairie dogs. Saturday, Cindy and Kinley enjoyed swimming at the New Rockford pool and in the evening, Shirley treated them to supper at The View steakhouse at Spirit Lake Casino. Cindy and Kinley also enjoyed a visit with cousin Todd Harrison and dog Phoenix, seeing the chickens and watching Todd work down by his James River yard.

Calvin Packard was a helper this week at mom, Shirley's; Mary Gehrtz was a helper on Wednesday.
