Northland graduate Steven Reynolds talks about his college days at Northland with Ron West on Pioneer 90.1, and about his long-standing communication venture known as “The Raven.”

Published four times a year – with a circulation that reaches coast to coast – “The Raven” journal features local/regional artists and events, plus stories of early northwest Minnesota settlers and pioneers, passed on from generation to generation.

A grant from the Northwest Minnesota Arts Council was instrumental in the survival and growth of his publication.

Heidi Hughes, manager of the Audubon Center of the Red River Valley in Warren, will have a presentation on attracting birds to your backyard Monday evening at 6:30 the Thief River Falls Public Library.
