Welcome to Minnesota

Rock County Highway Department workers hang the new "Welcome to Minnesota" sign along Rock County Road 4 (Old Highway 16) at the Minnesota-South Dakota Border Thursday, June 27. The wooden sign was made in the Hills-Beaver Creek High School Industrial Technology II class by Lee Walraven and Justin Van Maanen to replace the sign that was stolen three years ago. According to Rock County Highway Engineer Mark Sehr, the students made the sign for the cost of the materials, roughly $100, whereas ordering it through the usual vendors would have cost the county nearly $3,500.
