PAGE 3 1997 was the second full year of operation for Historic Holz Farm. The site is slowly returning to 1940 and the glory days of farming in Eagan. Many restoration and reconstruction projects highlighted the progress. The non -profit group, Friends of the Farm, were the driving force behind the activity. • The front porch was reconstructed through a grant from the Knights of Columbus. X The barn entries were restored from deteriorated condition. • The chicken house has been repaired for the resident fowl. X The flower garden is gradually being uncovered through efforts of the Eagan Garden Club. X The north field was cleared of trees and brush and then planted. X Many other clean -up and spruce -up activities occurred. Many activities highlighted the year as well. • The Spring Open House displayed the farm and the start of the planting season. Rain dampened attendance but those coming between showers found a herd of activities to enjoy. X The Minnesota Farmers Union held two Day Camps at Holz Farm. These were filled early in the registration process. • The Second Annual Hog Roast was a huge success. Two hogs fed 350 picnickers with music and old fashioned baseball to entertain. • School groups and daycares toured the farm to learn of life on the farm in the 1940's. Lone Oak Days were held at the Farm for the first time this fall. Well over 2,000 people came out September 19 and 20. Besides the Knights of Columbus, many other contributors came forward in 1997. Jensen's Supper club held a benefit dinner and donated a portion of sales through the month of February. A few dedicated volunteers donated hundreds of hours of service. A Farmall Cub tractor was donated by Cy Peterson of Northfield. The hay rack was rebuilt. Barnes and Noble Bookstore allowed the Friends of the Farm to hold a Book Fair and donated a percentage of their sales. Street Smarts Interactive and F.J. Sabongi donated a cellular phone and the monthly service fee for one year. As you can see, a few people can do a lot! Just think what more could do! We need you. Plans for 1998 are underway. We need people who believe in preserving our heritage, promoting land stewardship, protectin the environment and open spaces, educating our children, and building a sense of community the old fashioned way.

EAGAN SKATING SCHOOL Participants in the Fall, 1997 session of skating lessons have been offered the opportunity to register early for the winter session of skating lessons with new registrations beginning November 24, 1997. Participants in the Winter, 1997 session will have the opportunity to register early for the spring session. New spring registration begins February 9, 1998. Please be aware that some classes may be filled before new registration begins. There are no refunds after the registration deadline. Parents are invited and encouraged to watch their children participate in skating lessons, however, they are not allowed on the ice with their child unless they have registered for the Smalls and Talls lass. There are times when young children may have a difficult time separating from their parents. If you feel that your child may have a little difficulty in attending a skating lesson without a parent present you may want to consider participating in a Smalls and Talls lass or participate in some open skating sessions with your child. We want your skating experience to be FUN. • •• • • ••• •• ••• ••• •••••••• ••••••••••••• ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Date ENROLL MEIN CLASS # Class Time: ENROLL ME IN CLASS # EAGAN CIVIC ARENA Skating Registration Winter Spring (please check one) Participant's Name Address City, State, Zip Phone(H) Age Birthdate Parents Name $55.00 2ND FAMILY SKATER: Name Age Birthdate ENROLL ME IN CLASS # Class Time: $55.00 3RD FAMILY SKATER: Name Age Birthdate Class Time: $55.00 Total: $ Charge my Visa MasterCard Card Number: Name on Card: Exp.Date Signature: I, the undersigned, parent or guardian or participant, do hereby agree to allow the individual(s) named herein to participate in the aforementioned activity(ies), and I further agree to indemnify, and hold the City of Eagan, Eagan Civic Arena, skating director and instructors harmless from and against any and all liability for any injury or loss of property by the aforementioned individual(s) arising out of, or in any way connected with, his /her participation in this activity.
