Thank you to JT Callahan of Le Sueur and Tim Marsolais of Belle Plaine for their completed Eagle Scout projects at the NNC this summer. JT built benches and a platform for an amphitheater behind the education building at the Kahlow homestead. Tim and his crew gave outbuildings at the Kahlow homestead a much-needed painting.
