Jan. 27—CLOQUET — It's good to be back!

Thankfully, we got some fun news from the Minnesota Newspaper Association this week. They unveiled the results of the annual Better Newspaper Contest, and
our team was honored with 13 awards!
Awards aren't everything, but it's nice to have our reporters, ad reps and staff recognized for their hard work.
Here are this week's headlines:
