With welding and fabrication careers in high demand, Caitlyn Espeseth chose Northland Community & Technical College to help develop her skills.

The “Immigrant Interviews” DVD, sponsored by the Snorre Lodge of Sons of Norway is now available for sale. It features 15 local residents sharing the story of their ancestors who immigrated to Minnesota, and was featured on Sjoberg’s Cable TV the past six weeks.

The “Immigrant Interviews” DVD sells for $5 at Kezar Music and at the Northland Community & Technical College radio station studios, both in Thief River Falls.

Proceeds from this project will be added to the fundraising efforts of NCTC’s Pioneer 90.1 FM radio.

The Pecka Band of Lawton, ND will be the featured guest at Pioneer 90.1’s annual Saturday Morning Barn Dance Christmas Party. The event takes place in the commons area of Northland Community and Technical College’s Thief River Falls Campus on Saturday December 13 from 8 am to noon.

Pioneer 90.1 will broadcast the event live, with a video webcast online at www.radionorthland.org.

This marks the eighth year that the Barn Dance Christmas Party has been hosted by Ron and Elsie Shereck of Tabor. The couple has announced that they will step down from their long-running polka and old-time music broadcast later this month.

The Pecka Band includes accordions, trumpet, sax, and drums.

The event is a fundraiser for Pioneer 90.1, Northland’s listener-supported public radio station. A freewill offering will be taken at the door.
