Girl’s State attendees Natalie Lawrence, left, and Meredith Maciejewski, spoke at the Isabel Veteran’s Day Supper on Sunday to relay their experiences at the week-event. Both said they now have a new-found respect for the way government works and the election system. Their attendance at Girl’s State was sponsored by the Isabel American Legion Auxiliary. Also attending Girl’s State but unable to attend the supper was Joie LeBeau.

Ruth Schmidt, formerly of Isabel and Timber Lake, celebrated her 100th birthday on October 27 at her home in Sioux Falls and nearly ran out of cake! She is pictured here with her daughter, Susan Overgaard of Centerville.
