A Feb. 9 house fire resulted in a total loss of home and valuables totaling over $3 million. At about 4:30 p.m. that evening, the Columbus Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched to 1984 Hwy 71, north of Columbus near Richter Road, for a structure fire. First reports to dispatch advised the fire had spread from an outside patio fire place to the common attic with smoke filling the main house. First arriving officer, Captain James Chollett, made a pass through the structure and removed two victims who were trying to remove items from the house. With the situation of the rapidly moving fire through the attic and the dense smoke filling the structure, Chollett removed all victims from the structure, and verified the house was empty. The fire department arrived to find fire shooting from the top of the fire place stack, with dense smoke coming from all eves of the 12,600 square foot house. A mutual aid call was put out to La- Grange, New Ulm, Ellinger, Frelsburg, Bernardo, Weimar, Eagle Lake, and Garwood VFDs for man power and tanker support.

Saturdays on the square: In 2019 Saturdays on the Square was more than just a farmers’ market type event. It became a weekly event where many vendors and residents gathered to sell their produce or their handmade items. It became a social event. We would compare pickling, canning or cooking ideas. Keep up with who was getting married or having a baby. The passing of old friends. Home remedies for this or that. It was a builtin co-op whereby if someone needed a particular item we were always there to help supply with each other’s needs… egg cartons, plastics bags, and plastic plant containers. The friendships became solid and a trust was developed. We were all opinioned, but that never stopped us from supporting and caring for each other. The stories are priceless!
