Throughout the season, the Kasson-Mantorville volleyball team has been focused on taking things one game at a time and continuing to get better. As the games and the victories piled up for the KoMets, there was one game at the end of the schedule that kept getting bigger and bigger.

Last spring members of the KM Drama Team went to GREAT Theater in St. Cloud to see a musical and they quickly realized that they have the talent to put on a performance like that themselves. 
That realization combined with a very successful performance of “Little Mermaid” last fall they decided to take on “Beauty and The Beast” this fall. 

Since the end of the summer, KMTelecom Stadium has received a facelift. After its parking lot was paved to create more spaces and give the area around the field a more visually pleasing look, the second addition of a new press box finally opened its doors on Homecoming weekend on September 28.
 

For the first time in nineteen years the City of Dodge Center is looking for a new City Administrator. 
The search comes after previous administrator Lee Mattson left to take a new post with Waseca during the summer.

Assassins is a dark Sondheim musical review that spans many decades and many different musical styles.  It depicts 9 individuals who attempted to assassinate American presidents.  These people all believed in the American dream, but eventually felt they were being cheated of their happiness.  They felt their voices were not being heard.  And someone was to blame!

In 2014 after receiving a early childhood grant a Kasson-Mantorville Community  Ed Committee came up with an idea to collaborate with the Kasson Public Library to start a national program called “1000 Books before Kindergarten” in the community. 
Ever since then it has been a success. 
Since the beginning of the program in the Kasson-Mantorville community over 142 children and their parents have participated.

Last year when Hayfield’s High School Band teacher passed away unexpectedly days before its winter concert, neighboring school district Blooming Prairie stepped up by having its teacher help out with the concert. 

A couple of years ago buildings next to the American Legion in Claremont were torn down due to a number of different reasons.
At the time there was no plan in place on what would go there. 
Then during one of their meetings members of the American Legion decided to brainstorm to come up with a way to build a Veterans Memorial/Park for the community.
