Director of Aging Well, Prairie 5 Community Action Council With 2023 just around the corner, this is a good time to share some of the options and opportunities available through Prairie Five’s Aging Well program which serves Big Stone, Chippewa, Lac qui Parle, Swift, and Yellow Medicine counties. We are grateful for grants that we receive from the Minnesota River Area Agency on Aging and the Southwest Initiative Fund which will continue to fund these services in part in the new year.

Thank you, Mother Nature for relenting and allowing some warmer air to move into out area. I was tired of listening to the drip of my faucets. It is supposed to prevent freezing of pipes. Don’t know if that really works, but I was willing to try. I had 3 faucets dripping for several days. It’s a good thing that I don’t pay for water. I have turned all of them off for the week.
