Welcome TO MORA

Jake Mathison, Mayor, City of Mora

As Mayor, I’d like to welcome you to Mora!

Whether you’re just passing through, or looking to put down roots, we’re so glad you’re here. Though our town may be small, our hearts are big, and I hope you’ll soon discover that we’ve got a whole lot to offer in our little neck of the woods!

16

You’ll find us where the bustling junction of Highways 23 and 65 create the perfect stopping point on your journey to the cabin or lake, the Twin Cities, Duluth, and everything in between. We’re just a hop, skip, and a jump from some of the state’s largest cities and best natural attractions– close enough to the action without sacrificing the ability to kick back and enjoy those quiet, wide open afternoons (and spaces) when you need a break.

Our downtown is walkable, vibrant, and thriving, with plenty of Main Street American charm. Coupled with our busy highway corridor, we have the businesses and amenities to suit all of your needs. Add in our excellent school and healthcare systems, plentiful parks and trails, summer Aquatic Center, and many recreational community activities, you’ll find that we have a little something here for everybody.

We’re also home to the annual Vasaloppet USA ski race, and you can’t miss our 22 foot tall Dala Horse serving as a reminder of Mora’s Swedish cultural heritage. And like the sign that greets you on your way into town reads, we’re “A City for All Seasons,” and proud of it. We don’t shy away from Minnesota’s eclectic weather, rather we embrace it! We’re proudly open year ‘round!

I believe in Mora. It’s a great place to live, raise a family, and make a life. Over the next few decades, we have a tremendous opportunity to build towards a bright and modern future of: inclusiveness, diversity, warmth, and positive, sustainable growth. And we can do it with the same friendly, welcoming smiles, and earnest spirit of neighborliness that we’ve always had in this town. That’s my vision, and I hope it’s one you share– and better yet– join me in helping to accomplish!

— Jake Mathison, Mayor, City of Mora

Welcome TO OGILVIE

Mark Nilson, Mayor, City of Ogilvie

Welcome to Ogilvie.

I’m Mayor Mark Nilson and I would like to welcome you to Ogilvie! We are a small town of about 375 people located at the junction of Minnesota Highways 23 and 47 just 20 minutes south of Lake Mille Lacs.

We are the home of our “famous” concrete water tower that was built in 1918 and still stands today in our city park. It is also listed on the National Registry of Historic Sites.

We also consider our town a great place to live with a small town atmosphere. We are very proud to still be able to have our own public school system for K-12 and look forward to keeping it for many years to come. We are also the central hub for Federated Co-op, a large feed, seed, fertilizer and fuel supplier for east central Minnesota that continues to expand in our town.

We are proud to have several other small manufacturing businesses that are also a vital part of making our town a great place to live. We also are very fortunate to have two bar and grills that offer great food and service to the community and to anyone just passing through, and we also have an excellent cafe located right along the highway. Two convenience stores and a Dollar General store are also part of Ogilvie for all your day-to-day needs.

There is a plan in progress to build a six building, four-unit-each townhome development on the old school lot for anyone wanting to move to Ogilvie, and the Tower View mobile home park is also going to be expanding their housing.

19

Once again, check us out! I think you’ll like what you find in Ogilvie!!

What’s up

BACK TO THE TOWER

Every January, a group of volunteers gather in Ogilvie to begin planning its city celebration Back to the Tower Day. Usually held the first weekend of August in downtown Ogilvie, the celebration includes the same enjoyable activities each year, such as the firemen and kids waterball fight, the craft fair and vendor booths.

The event also includes a parade through Ogilvie’s city streets featuring several of the classic vehicles that are part of the car and tractor show. The parade is a big hit for all kids who enjoy the candy and other treats handed out by groups, organizations, businesses, fire departments and others who participate.

Back to the Tower Days was first held in 2011, when the old Ogilvie water tower was deactivated and the new tower KANABEC COUNTY 2023 • CELEBRATIONS

KC_Info_Guide_2023 to print-new.indd 28

6/29/23 12:10 PM

went online. A ceremony shutting down the old tower was held prior to the parade, and the parade route ended at the new water tower, where a ceremony turning the new one on occurred.

One of the constants since that first event is the dedicated team of volunteers who meet each month to discuss what activities it wants to retain and which it wants to swap out. Although the toilet races are a thing of the past, other events have proven to be tried and true.

For instance, in 2020 the Mora Area Chamber of Commerce started its Fired Up At The Tower BBQ Cook Off. The contestants cook up a mess of ribs, turn their ribs in for judging, and then the event opens to the public immediately after.

As in other years, the Ogilvie Museum is open all day of the event, and Back to the Tower Day wraps up every year with a street dance featuring music performed by a local band.

Although the focus on the water towers is no longer a major part of the event, the presence of non-profits, volunteers and organizations coming together to create a successful event is why the celebration exists in the first place.

What’s up VASALOPPET

For 50 years the Vasaloppet has brought thousands of cross-country skiers to the city of Mora to race.

The idea for the first race, held in 1972, began with the “Trade and Commodity” sub-organization of the Mora Commercial Club. That group asked the Mora Jaycees to sponsor a winter project that would publicize the community and tie in with the Dala Horse and Sister City program. The Commercial Club, Jaycees and the Kanabec Conservation Club were the first sponsors of the race.

KANABEC COUNTY 2023 • CELEBRATIONS

KC_Info_Guide_2023 to print-new.indd 30

6/29/23 12:10 PM

The Vasaloppet is traditionally held each February and includes — in addition to the races — a week filled with activities, including bingo games, the Kanabec County Art Association Vasaloppet Art Show, a pasta feed, the Paradise Theater Radio Show and A Taste of Vasaloppet craft beverage tasting event.

But it’s the skiing that brings people to Mora, both as participants and spectators. Typically, more than 1,000 racers participate in the skiing, including the Vasa Freestyle, the Dala Freestyle, the Bellringer, Team racing, the Classic and the Half Classic. A Miniloppet for kids is also scheduled.

At the heart of the event are the volunteers. An estimated 500-plus Kanabec County residents take part in the planning and running of the event. From creating race packets to selling merchandise to serving blueberry soup, it takes a village of volunteers to make the annual event a success.

What’s up AT THE KANABEC COUNTY FAIR

The Kanabec County Fair has been one of the largest events in the area for more than 120 years,.

Operated under the auspices of the Kanabec County Agriculture Society “more commonly known as the “fair board,” the annual event includes many activities each year as when it first started.

Among those activities are the exhibitions, many which come from the county’s various 4-H clubs. The fair is an opportunity for 4-H members to showcase their talents and skills they have gained throughout the year. Mem-

KANABEC COUNTY 2023 • CELEBRATIONS

KC_Info_Guide_2023 to print-new.indd 32

6/29/23 12:10 PM

bers exhibit their livestock, artwork, or science projects, among others.

According to the fair board, 4-H classifies youth into two categories: Cloverbuds and regular 4-H members.

Cloverbuds are youth who have completed grades K through 2. Their educational experiences are focused on fun and learning. All Cloverbud exhibitors earn the same multi-color ribbon for their efforts.

Regular 4-H members are youth who have completed grade 3 through one year past high school. Their learning is focused on mastery under the guidance of screened volunteer leaders.

Regular 4-H members earn white, red and blue ribbons and have an opportunity to earn Reserve and Grand Champion ribbons as well. Youth earning the highest achievements and meeting eligibility requirements may also qualify to advance to regional and state showcase experiences, including the Minnesota State Fair, Minnesota State 4-H Horse Show, State 4-H Dog Show and Northeast Livestock Show.

Those individuals who are not involved in 4-H can exhibit through the fair’s open class, showing their animals, arts and crafts, and other works.

33

The fair traditionally includes a parade. Businesses, individuals and musical groups participate in the Saturday activity, all done in celebration of the county.

A carnival featuring games and rides is always a huge hit, as are the grandstand events including tractor pulls and the ever-popular Red Neck Races. The Mora Civic Center is the site for musical groups that perform throughout the fair.

What’s up IN AREA SCHOOLS

When Kanabec County students return to their schools in the fall 0f 2023, they will see either a new or improved school building.

In Mora, the May 2020 residents in the district passed a school bond referendum allowing for the construction of a new high school that will be on the same campus as the Mora Elementary School.

The $62 million, 152,000 square-foot building broke ground in May 2021. Emphasized in its construction are school safety, plenty of natural light, and upgrade vocational and science classrooms.

KANABEC COUNTY 2023 • EDUCATION

KC_Info_Guide_2023 to print-new.indd 40

6/29/23 12:10 PM

The final design of the new school reflects the city’s Scandinavian heritage.

ICS and Wold Architects were charged with bringing this vision to light. Designers explained the new school’s aesthetic includes a lot of large windows, high ceilings, naturally-toned wood paired with neutral, high contrast colors like charcoal gray.

The new high school design adds security features with entire wings of the building designed to be locked down. It adds flexibility for the school to open areas of the building for events in the evening or on weekends, while still being able to block off other areas.

The former high school will be demolished in the fall of 2023 and the property will be sold. Concurrently, an auction will be held to allow area residents and graduates of the school to purchase memorabilia and other items from the school.

Items that are being kept for posterity will be housed in one of the new high school’s three trophy cases.

At each step of its construction, the new school has met its building progress goals and has remained on budget.

In the Ogilvie School District, voters narrowly approved a school building bond for security and upgrades, and also for the school ventilation system.

Among the updates to infrastructure needed is the roof; one section of the original roof was leaking and needed to be replaced.

41

Improvements also are being made to the track, and the swimming pool repairs are completed. Ventilation and dehumidifications are being updated in the gyms, kitchen, cafeteria and commons.

One of the more important upgrades will be to the building’s security systems and improvements to the entrances.

Both of these projects — the new Mora school and the updates to the Ogilvie school — demonstrate the commitment Kanabec County residents have to education.

KANABEC COUNTY VETERANS MEMORIAL

The Kanabec County Veterans Memorial, featuring the names of local soldiers who were killed in the line of duty and the names of honored veterans, will soon be a new addition to the area.

The Lee Goldsmith American Legion Post No. 201 and Ogilvie American Legion Post 640 unveiled designs for the memorial in December 2022, which will be located at 203 Barker Street in Mora, just north of the Post Office. The 3-D drawing shows a proposed 40-by-80-foot building that will house static displays; space for the American Legion, Boy Scouts and others to meet; and room for the Kanabec County Veterans Service office.

KANABEC COUNTY 2023 • COMMUNITY

KC_Info_Guide_2023 to print-new.indd 44

6/29/23 12:10 PM

The rendering also shows the memorial itself, which includes the Walls of Honor, black granite bricks that will reflect the names of all military veterans in Kanabec County and elsewhere.

Veterans included in the memorial do not have to hale from Kanabec County. Each 6-by-12-inch block will display the name and service information of one veteran; the bricks each cost $300. The black granite looks similar to that used in the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C. with more than 100 bricks have already been sold.

At the center of the memorial will be a marker showing the 34 names of military personnel from Kanabec County who were killed in action in World War I, World War II, the Korean Conflict and Vietnam.

The United States flag will stand at attention in the middle of the memorial on a 55-foot flagpole, with the flags of each of the six military branches — the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, Marine Corps and Space Force — on the perimeter.

A statue was commissioned and is being completed by an artist in Colorado depicting a soldier kneeling and touching the wall of the memorial to the fallen.

45

The statue “Silent Battle,” for which veteran Brian Zimmerman posed, will be moved from Mora City Hall to the memorial. The sculpture portrays a grieving soldier holding the dog tags of one of his fallen peers; its intent is to show the struggle of military personnel and to raise awareness of post-traumatic stress disorder. Zimmerman lost his battle with PTSD in August 2021.

The committee planning the memorial has spent much of the last few years raising money for the building and the other displays.

Veterans or friends and family members of veterans who would like to purchase a brick for display on the memorial can contact County Veterans Services Officer Erica Bliss at erica.bliss@co.kanabec.mn.us. More information can also be found at www.facebook.com/ KanabecCountyVeteransMN. As a 501c(19) organization, the American Legion can accept tax-deductible charitable contributions for individuals and organizations who want to donate to the memorial.

The front nine holes allow players ample room to hit the rolling fairways, but miss any of the elevated, well-bunkered greens and bogey or worse likely.

The back nine holes are literally cut out of the woods and lowlands of the property. Short and tight fairways force players to use every club in their bag.

The slippery slopes of the back-side greens emphasize the importance of well-placed approach shots.

What’s up AT WELIA

Located in East Central Minnesota, Welia Health provides primary and specialty medical services to Kanabec and Pine counties residents. It is a critical access hospital and clinic system accredited by the Joint Commission.

THE BEGINNING The opening day of Welia Health, initially called Kanabec Hospital, is illustrated in a unique story about the doors opening early for an unexpected arrival of a baby, James Michael. The hospital was scheduled to open in January of 1946, but on Christmas Eve in 1945, Mrs. Walton Regan gave birth to James Michael, and they became Kanabec Hospital’s first two patients.

HOW WE’VE GROWN Throughout the decades, Kanabec Hospital has continuously expanded its facility and services. In 2003, Kanabec Hospital grew significantly through two major building projects, including moving the Mora Medical Clinic (then owned by Allina) to the hospital campus and adding a rehabilitation department and four-bay surgery department.

In 2011, Kanabec Hospital purchased three clinics from Allina Hospitals and Clinics (now Allina Health) located in Mora and surrounding cities, Pine City and Hinckley. Then it renamed the newly integrated system: FirstLight Health System.

In October 2015, due to new demand in healthcare services, the Pine City campus expanded its blueprint and services in diagnostic imaging, rehabilitation services, OB/GYN, orthopedics, sports medicine and urgency services.

In 2019, FirstLight Health System finished a two-year phased expansion project in Mora on its main campus. The construction project included the following: • newly designed in-patient rooms.

• separate birth center.

53

• public dining area.

• an expanded rehabilitation department.

• community pharmacy.

• emergency department updates with improved helipad and ambulance access • relocation of the off-campus Eye Care Center • infrastructure accommodations for new technology and patient flow • new centralized entrance to enhance security The Mora campus has 23 licensed patient beds, a four-bay surgery suite, a 24-hour emergency department, EMT/Paramedic-staffed ambulance service and a birth center, among other services.

Amid the large expansion project in 2019, FirstLight Health System was renamed Welia Health.

WELCOME TO WELIA HEALTH Welia Health delivers the personalized care expected in smaller communities but with the technology and specialty care commonly associated with large urban centers.

Welia Health’s main campus is in Mora, with satellite campuses in Pine City and Hinckley. Pine City clinic offers primary and specialty care, urgency services and a community pharmacy, while Hinckley clinic offers primary and specialty care.

Welia Health employs over 600 employees, including family practice providers, specialists, pharmacists, nurses, lab, radiology and rehabilitation service professionals and administrative personnel. (continuted on next page)
