Lakes Area Community Garden

The community garden near Kiwanis Park in Brainerd is happening this year. However gardeners will only be able to work on their garden every other day. It is going by even and odd days with the corresponding plot numbers(even, odd) (by first plot number if someone has 2 plots)

City staff want the garden to be filled / rented up as much as possible so plots are taken care of to minimize extra maintenance.

Over 100 to leave Brainerd Public Schools

There are 91 staff lay offs and 12 separations listed in staffing changes for approval at Wednesday's School Board meeting.
They may rehire when able to. A majority of these are related to not being able to collect fees related to services shut down by governor's orders due to Covid-19 Pandemic.

Disclosure: I have one of the part-time jobs listed in the 91 staff lay-offs.
