Introducing ......

.

The 80 foot cross on the Odalen site has now been lit and can be seen from Peppermint Hill south of Edinburg.  It is an awesome sight.

Aaahh, remember the fun of picking potatoes by hand?  School was even let out for 2 weeks to help with the harvest.  Hope someone can identify the man on the right.  I am sure it is Adrian Lerud on the left with glasses.  I believe this was taken just west of town in the valley.

Check out the Education Page.  The school is collecting Campbell Soup labels.  All the pertinent information will be there.  Also, I have posted an update from the wonderful FAAES group that does so much for the school.

Northeast North Dakota is a well-kept secret, especially the little town of Edinburg.  It sits on the edge of the fertile farmland of the Red River Valley and the prairies of the west.  Edinburg has a population of about 250 people with the drive, dreams and heart of cities 10 times its size.  Edinburg could be a "throw-back" to the 50's with its pristine cleanliness, manicured yards and well-kept homes, but it is most definitely planted in the 21st century with citizens who strive to keep Edinburg very much alive!

The snowbanks are high in Edinburg.  We have had lots of snow with more on the way.  It is hard to see around corners in town.

 

This is the commemorative monument that has been erected at the site of the Odalen Lutheran Church west of Edinburg.

"Hoot" Johnson by the produce counter.  Anne (Gire) Cole sent me these pictures.  Just look at all the oranges!

The snow is heavy on the boughs of Bert Eisenmann's evergreens.

.

Here is a picture from times gone by.  It is taken in the old Johnson Food Store owned by Hoot and Iva.  John Evenson said the guys are Ronnie Ellingson, Curtis Mecham and "Sonny" Johnson.  John also informed me he has NEVER been wrong about anything so we can write these names in ink on this one!!!  This same store is now the "place to shop - Market on Main".

 

Another photo of the majestic cross erected at the site of Odalen church.

 

The Edinburg Fire Department erected flags and flag poles for the celebration.  They look so nice on Main Street.

OLD EDINBURG!  What a beautiful picture.  Mark Gire sent this picture of Edinburg.  He found it when going through some of his dads belongings after Lloyd's death.  He thinks it was taken about 1910.  It was a black and white photo that was hand-painted.  It has been reduced down in size so you viewers cannot read all of this information.  The church in the forefront is St Paul's Lutheran Church.  It stood where Beverley Hall lives today.  We have "picked out" Leroy and Louise Pederson's home plus what we think was Doc and Dorothy Flaten's home.  That is where Bonita Olson lives today.  Notice the "old" Trinity Lutheran Church and the wonderful old schoolhouse.  What a treasure this picture is.  Thank you Mark so much for sharing this with us.
 
 
 
  Edinburg has been named the "BIRD CAPITAL" of North Dakota. 
 
  Rendevousz Region Bird Club President, Janne Myrdal said the designation was not sanctioned by the state, but Governor Hoeven knew about it and wished Edinburg well.  The Edinburg City Council approved the naming. 
 
Bird watching has become quite a popular pastime in this area.  Janne hopes soon every yard in Edinburg will have bird houses and birdfeeders.
