What does it mean to strive for the greater good? Rising to the Crisis examines Stearns County’s response to War World II. More than 4,000 Stearns County residents joined the military, and people on the home front volunteered for the Red Cross, collected scrap metal, and planted Victory Gardens. Also, view their video on V-Mail and discover the heart-wrenching story of Bernice “Bunny” Feneis and Ervin “Stubbie” Decker. Relive the experiences of Stearns County residents who served our county overseas and at home during the war effort.

Mary has an irreverent line of greeting cards and more that is sold nationwide and she teaches the old school tradition of letterpress printing the way her father taught her.
Bruno carves linoleum and hand sets wood and lead type to make posters, broadsides and anything that she comes up with. Mary is a community go-getter and loves to collaborate with other printers, poets, musicians, kids, and other designers.
