Arrowhead has provided bookmobile service in Northeastern Minnesota since 1967.

Brule tree goes to Madison

A piece of the Brule River State Forest will be heading to Madison next week.

A 36-foot-tall balsam fir will be cut at 1 p.m. Wednesday near the Stone Chimney Road and hauled to the Capitol Rotunda, where it will serve as the 2011 Capitol Holiday Tree.

Gov. Scott Walker has asked art teachers, parents and youths across Wisconsin to help decorate the Capitol Christmas Tree. The theme will be “Honoring 163 years of Wisconsin’s Veterans.”

Teachers or students interested in displaying ornaments on the tree must make their submissions by Dec. 1. Mail the ornaments to Gov. Walker’s Office, State Christmas Tree Ornament Program, P.O. Box 7863, Madison, WI 53707-7863.
