Comments
The Daily Journal is happy to host community conversations about news and life in Fergus Falls and the surrounding area. As hosts, we expect guests will show respect for each other. That means we don't threaten or defame each other, and we keep conversations free of personal attacks. Witty is great. Abusive is not. If you think a post violates these standards, don't escalate the situation. Instead, flag the comment to alert us. We'll take action if necessary. It's not hard. This should be a place where people want to read and contribute -- a place for spirited exchanges of opinion. So those who persist with racist, defamatory or abusive postings risk losing the privilege to post at all.Posted by pamelajo1012 (anonymous) on July 3, 2008 at 3:08 p.m. (Suggest removal)
no offense but I am from Henning and our festival is not until the 18th, unless the signs on welcome to henning are wrong.

I know that Hoofbeats 4H is having a Pancake and Sausage Breakfast at Applebees on Saturday from 8-11. We are also having a silent auction with some very nice items.
