Marshall Introduces New Rules for Election Season Signage

The City of Marshall has recently issued updated guidelines for the placement and handling of political signs. These guidelines are intended to ensure safety and maintain order as election season approaches.

Key points from the new guidelines include:

1. Placement Restrictions: Political signs must be placed on private property with the consent of the property owner. They should not obstruct visibility or pose safety hazards. Importantly, signs must not be placed within public right-of-ways or on public property.

2. Complaint Procedures: Residents who observe improperly placed political signs can file complaints with the city. The city will then take appropriate action to address these complaints in accordance with local regulations.

3. Safety and Order: The guidelines aim to ensure that political campaigning remains safe and orderly, avoiding any hazards for pedestrians and drivers.

For further information on the specific guidelines or to report any issues, residents are encouraged to visit the City of Marshall’s official website.

Discovering Southwest Minnesota: 3 Hidden Gems for Summer Adventure

With summer in full swing and kids free from school, Southwest Minnesota offers surprises waiting to be explored.

From towering cliffs to ancient traditions, check out these three sites this summer that promise an unforgettable adventure.

Explore Blue Mounds State Park, north of Luverne, known for its 100-foot Sioux quartzite cliff and one of the last purebred bison herds. The park features a tallgrass prairie, wildflowers, and diverse bird species. Enjoy hiking, biking, camping, and the 90-minute Prairie and Bison Tour available on summer weekends.

At Pipestone National Monument, Native Americans continue the tradition of quarrying pipestone for sacred items. Visitors can explore active quarries, tallgrass prairies, quartzite formations, and Winnewissa Falls. The visitor center offers a museum and craft demonstrations.

Step back in time at the Currie Indoor/Outdoor Museum and Park, featuring historical rail transportation. The guided tour includes a ride on a manually operated turnstile and visits to various historic buildings. Open Wednesday-Sunday from Memorial Day to Labor Day, with appointments available in spring and fall.
