Congratulations to Brian and Mandy (Warner) Wiertzema as they celebrated their marriage ceremony on January 7, 2017 at Old Westbrook Lutheran Church in Westbrook, MN. Brian is the son of Dave and Jerre Wiertzema, Adrian, MN and the grandson of Lena Wiertzema, Ellsworth, MN.
Jay and Mimi Drenth, Rock Rapids, IA were Sunday afternoon luncheon guests with Ruth Birkett and Skip Birkett.
There were people that braved the cold Saturday night and attended the Ellsworth Legion Bingo at the Ellsworth School.
What a Super Bowl game this year, the New England Patriots defeated the Atlanta Falcons in overtime, 34-28. The Falcons led the game until the fourth quarter when the Patriots came from way behind to tie the game. In overtime, the Patriots won the coin toss and went in for a touchdown, giving them the win. This reporter never knew I would get so caught up in a game where the Vikings were not playing. This was the first time for a Super Bowl game to go into overtime. The first time a quarterback has won 5 Super Bowl Rings and the first time for a coach to win 5 Super Bowl Rings.
