Winter Carnival returns!

For the first time in three years, the Luverne Music Boosters hosted a "live and in-person" Winter Carnival Saturday in the Luverne High School classic gym. According to music boosters president Heather Johnson, crowds were steady Saturday night, despite poor weather. She said ticket sales were at $6,500, similiar to pre-pandemic receipts for the event, which is a major fundraiser for the booster club. Two years ago there was no Winter Carnival due to the pandemic and last year the event took to social media with an online auction.
