Camp Knutson 32nd Quilt Auction

The 32nd Annual Camp Knutson Quilt Auction was held on Saturday, August 11th. It was a beautiful day and the camp auctioned off a record number of quilts. There were 315 gorgeous quilts, many of which were from local quilters, auctioned off to the 190 bidders, raising a total $64,000.

Thank you to all of our quilt donors, the Paul Bunyan Auxiliary Volunteers, the Quilt Auction committee, and our generous buyers and supporters.

Our special guest at this year’s Quilt Auction featured one of our Camp Knutson Alumni, Ellie Wilson. Ellie is currently the Executive Director of the Autism Society of Minnesota and a director for the Down Syndrome Foundation Camp, both of which partner with Camp Knutson to provide therapeutic residential summer camp experiences. Ellie shared a powerful message about the impact camp has on every single person involved, the magic that happens at Camp and the village it takes to make this experience happen.

Crosslake City Council finds a way to assist residents with private road

The Crosslake City Council found a way to help a group of Crosslake residents deal with an issue related to a private road in their neighborhood when the Council met in regular session Monday, August 13.

The Kavli Woods Home Owners Association asked the city to provide a culvert to be installed on a private road that runs through its neighborhood and to trim some trees along the public right of way under the private road. Jeff Bisson, a member of the home owners association, told the Council that five of the 13 neighbors had agreed to pay for surfacing the road in the near future. Before the work is done, they would like the city to provide them with a culvert that the road contractor would install and to trim the trees that are growing along the public right of way under the roadway.
