Pelican Rapids VFW Post 5252 representatives met with Minnesota State House Rep. Jeff Backer, who helped secure $3,000 in state funding to relocate the Veterans Memorial from the VFW corner to the Pelican Veterans Memorial Park. They are pictured at the World War II-era cannon, which was also at the VFW memorial location but moved last year to the park. The memorial will be rebuilt at a site near the cannon. From left, Jim Clemenson, Curt Markgraf, Richard Gabe, State House Rep. Jeff Backer, VFW Commander Rudy Butenas, Rod Zentz, Dan Jongeward, and Randy Ebson.

The old stone bathhouse, pictured here, would be demolished, and although Council Member Steve Strand supported the motion, he remembered the park and the old rock shower house with fondness. โ€œThatโ€™s really sad. . . what about the rocksโ€ฆโ€ said Strand. When the building is demolished, donโ€™t be surprised to see Council Member Strand salvaging the stones, one rock at a time.
