AUDUBON The city of Audubon is located on Highway 10 approximately 40 miles east of Fargo, ND, and 210 miles northwest of Minneapolis, MN. Situated in the southwest corner of Becker County, it developed as a result of the 1871 expansion of the Northern Pacific Railroad. Audubon was established as a community in 1873; it was settled mainly by farmers of Scandinavian descent. The town was named after the great American naturalist and artist, James A. Audubon. During an early tour of the “Audubon’’ branch of the NP line, a passenger, Audubon’s niece, commented on the beauty of the lily-covered prairie and asked that if a railroad station were ever built there, that it be named after her uncle. While searching for a township name, the Audubon name suggestion seemed to stick, and on Jan. 2, 1881, it became the official town name. Today, Audubon is home to not only Lake Park-Audubon Elementary School, but also Team Industries and other industries, as well as the Orton’s convenience store, Aurochs Veterinary Service, JCS Cabinetry & Design and Country Wood Products. Audubon also maintains a post office, a co-op elevator, a municipal liquor store, a bank (Bell State Bank & Trust of Audubon), a meat market (Audubon Meat Inc.), and the Zephyr Supper Club.

Audubon Rescue: Donny Holm, President Audubon Rescue serves the same area as the fire department. CALLAWAY Callaway is located about 12 miles north of Detroit Lakes on Highway 59, approximately 45 air miles east of Fargo. It’s situated in Becker’s northwest corner, along the Soo Line Railroad’s “Glenwood route’’ — a section of track between Winnipeg and Minneapolis. The small farming communities of Richwood and Westbury lie within a 5 mile radius of Callaway. As the Soo Line pushed northward in 1903, the Callaway community developed. Callaway’s rich farmland attracted many early Scandinavian settlers who were interested in farming its fertile tracts of land. Today, agriculture remains Callaway’s main economic resource. Besides its own community center, Callaway is also home to Beautiful Savior Lutheran and Assumption Catholic churches, a volunteer fire department, Lions Club, Community Council, post office, municipal liquor store, Native Harvest, Noah’s Insurance, On the Go Convenience Store, Tungesvick Service Station, Cenex Harvest States elevator and Anderson Ag Services.

DETROIT LAKES Detroit Lakes was originally home of the Sioux, until the Chippewa pushed them westward. During the mid 1800s, Detroit Lakes was a favorite resting place for travelers of the Red River Oxcart Trail, a 400 mile path from Winnipeg to St. Paul. For many years, the resting place was called “Ga-ia-wa-wan-gag’’ : a Chippewa name meaning, “Lake in which there is a crossing in a sandy place.’’ Settlers, having trouble pronouncing that name, preferred a traveling French priest’s description of the sandy place; he called it “Detroit,’’ using the French word for sand bar. The name stuck. As of the 2010 U.S. Census, Detroit Lakes had an estimated population of 8,569 residents. Today, Detroit Lakes is an important agricultural area; it is also the center of a thriving “412 Lakes’’ tourism district.

FRAZEE The city of Frazee is located at the junction of Highway 10 and Minnesota State Highway 87, approximately in the center of Becker County’s southernmost border; it is approximately 10 miles southeast of Detroit Lakes; 55 miles east of Fargo, and 195 miles northwest of Minneapolis. Frazee was settled in 1868, earning it the distinction of being the first area settled in Becker County. When the Hobart Depot and Weymouth Hotel moved to Frazee in 1874, the city of Frazee developed quickly. (It was said the food at the Weymouth was so good, that the NP Line scheduled regular stops to partake in its culinary delights.) The combination of the depot, a lucrative flour mill, and a booming logging industry, Frazee was Becker County’s largest city until the logging “boom’’ fizzled out at the turn of the century. At its peak, however, Frazee’s population climbed a little over 2000 in the late 1880s. Today, Frazee is home to many businesses. Daggett Trucking, the Frazee Municipal Liquor Store, Ketter’s Meat Market, and O.K. Lumber are just a few examples of Frazee’s thriving business district. The city is home to a Lake Agassiz Regional Library LINK site, and its official website is www.frazeecity. com.

LAKE PARK The city of Lake Park is located on Highway 10 approximately 35 miles east of Fargo and 215 miles northwest of Minneapolis. With gentle rolling hills and an elevation of 1270 ft., Lake Park is a fertile farm area producing grain, potatoes, and livestock. Lake Park was named for a beautiful lake which used to be located on the original townsite. In the early 1870s, this lake was drained, however, to allow for the building of the NP Railroad. Although the lake was lost forever, the railroad stimulated Lake Park’s growth as settlers took advantage of its easy transportation to the region. Today, Lake Park is home to many area businesses. Besides a health clinic, community cooperative, drug store, hair salons, grocery store, laundromat, municipal liquor store, bank, city center,

and public pool, the Lake Park community includes a variety of churches, including St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church, Lake Park Lutheran Church, the Gloria Dei Lutheran Parish and Eskjo Lutheran Church. The community also boasts three gas stations and a Lake Agassiz Regional Library LINK site. It is also home to Lake Park-Audubon High School.

It’s approximately 21 miles due north of Detroit Lakes. Ogema was founded in 1906, nearly 40 years after the establishment of the surrounding White Earth Reservation; its name, however, means “Chief’’ in the Chippewa language. The town developed as the result of the Soo Line’s northward expansion.

Today, Ogema is home to a municipal liquor store, a community hall, a bank, beauty salon and M & W Foods. The community also has a post office, elementary school (WaubunOgema-White Earth), and Most Holy Redeemer Catholic Church. The White Earth Initiative office building is a recent addition.

Established in 1944, the organization is still going strong, “Doing unto others, as we would have others do unto us.’’ TWO INLETS Two Inlets is located on Becker County’s eastern border. Nestled quietly in Becker’s forest district, it is approximately 10 miles north of Osage and 12 miles northeast of Ponsford on County Road 44.

WOLF LAKE Wolf Lake is located about three miles north of State Highway 87, in the corner of the Smoky Hills State Forest. Detroit Lakes is 32 miles due west of the village which was settled mainly as a logging camp site.

OUTLYING COMMUNITIES HITTERDAL, located in Clay County, was incorporated as a village on April 1, 1918, and separated from the townships on May 3, 1919. It is named for a val-

ley and lake in southern Norway. Among the first settlers were several people named Hitterdal. The town was named for Bendt O. Hitterdal, the original town proprietor. The post office began in 1887; M. J. Solum built a hardware and implement store on the first lot after the townsite was platted in 1896. ULEN, also located in Clay County, was named in honor of Ole Ulen, its first settler. The city of Ulen was established on part of his homestead and was incorporated as a village on Nov. 12, 1896. The post office was established in 1884. WAUBUN, a city in Mahnomen County, has an Ojibwe name, meaning “the east,” “the morning,” and “the twilight of dawn.” It is spelled waban in Baraga’s Dictionary, and wabun by Longfellow in The Song of Hiawatha, with definition as the east wind. The city was incorporated as a village on Dec. 18, 1907. When the Soo Line built through the county in 1903-4, the general manager, Pennington, and his chief engineer, Thomas Green, named the stations as they moved the line north; all towns on the reservation had to have Indian names. The post office for this community was established in 1905 as Bement, changing to Waubun in 1906.

PERHAM, located in Otter Tail County, is named after Josiah Perham, the first President of the Northern Pacific Railroad. The railroad arrived in Otter Tail County in 1871. A mercantile store was erected on the north side of the tracks the next year and Perham has been prospering ever since. Perham currently boasts of a stateof-the-art community fitness and recreation center; a 27-hole, championship golf course. It is also the center for surrounding agriculture and tourism. VERGAS, located in Otter Tail County, is known as the “Home of the Loon,” the Minnesota State Bird. There is a giant 20 foot replica of the State Bird erected on the shore of Long Lake, in the center of City Park, which is also home to a public beach and picnic area. There are 25 lakes within a five-mile radius of Vergas. The community’s present name comes from one of four in the “V” series used to designate Soo Line sleeping cars that traveled between Minneapolis and Winnipeg. The post office began as Candor in 1904, the railroad station was Vergas, and the townsite was Altona, all names changing to Vergas in 1903. The community has a well-known bar and grill, a café, grocery store and a supper club just outside of town.

Tamarac ‘going green’ for wildlife

Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge, located about 10 miles northeast of Detroit Lakes, lies in the heart of one of the most diverse transition zones in North America. Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge was established as a refuge and breeding ground for migratory birds and other wildlife by Executive Order 7902, dated May 31, 1938. Here Eastern deciduous hardwoods, Northern conifer-ous forests and Western tall grass prairie converge, creat-ing a rich assemblage of both plants and animals. The landscape is characterized by rolling forested hills interspersed with shallow lakes, rivers, marshes and shrub swamps. Towering red and white pine intermingle with aspens, majestic old growth forests, jack pine bar-rens and tamarack-spruce bogs. In the land where food grows on water, bountiful wild rice provides for future generations of wildlife and native people. Though the landscape has been altered by the influ-ences of human history and past management, the Refuge remains largely intact with a functioning ecosystem, retaining an

untamed character for current visitors to enjoy, use and respect. From the vibrant emergence of spring woodland wildflowers to the rich colors of autumn to the quiet hush of winter, people come to revitalize their spirit and connect with a rich wildlife heritage. The newly renovated Visitor Center at Tamarac is slat-ed for its official grand reopening on Sunday, March 9 from 12 to 4 p.m. The Visitor Center was retrofitted in 2013 to incorporate both geothermal heating and solar power. Also slated for a fall 2014 opening is Tamarac’s latest addition, the Discovery Center. This brainchild of the nonprofit Friends of Tamarac NWR, this energy-efficient facility will house the Refuge’s environmental education programs. Within just a little under 2,000 square feet, the Dis-covery Center will house a multi-purpose meeting room, storage and restrooms — but the part that the Friends are most excited about is the outdoor class-room/ amphitheater “that will allow nearly 100 people to gather at a time without

creating a large impact on the landscape,” according to the informational brochure. The indoor meeting room will allow for gatherings of 45 people in a classroom setting, or 70-80 people in an open meeting setting. Once it’s in place, the new building will be used to enhance and expand the environmental education programs already in existence at Tamarac — many of which are organized and taught by volunteers from the Friends organization. Five outdoor learning stations have been set up around the refuge, with each geared toward teaching a different aspect of the refuge’s natural flora and fauna. Friends of Tamarac volunteers contribute their time and expertise to teach these programs to visiting students from as close as Detroit Lakes and Frazee-Vergas, or as far away as Moorhead and Park Rapids. For more information about Tamarac, visit the website, www.fws.gov/ refuge/tamarac. For more about the Friends organization, and how to get involved, please visit www.tamaracfriends.org.

WE Fest: A Becker County tradition

Since 1983, WE Fest has been bringing some of the hottest performers in country music to the main stage of the Soo Pass Ranch, located just five minutes south of Detroit Lakes off Highway 59. History Festival And Concert Events (FACE), Inc. is the successor of WE Fest, Inc., which has been producing con-certs and festivals at the Soo Pass Ranch, and other venues, for over two decades. Twice nominated for the Country Music Association’s prestigious Best Special Event award, the WE Fest is widely regarded as one of the most outstanding events of its kind in the nation. This year, organizers are hoping to bring in sold-out crowds to enjoy the music of headliners Brad Paisley, Jason Aldean and the Zac Brown Band — one for each night of the festival, which runs August 7, 8 and 9, 2014. “Zac (Brown) has never been at WE Fest,” said John Gourley, vice president of FACE, Inc. “Hard to believe!” The headlining trio will be joined by familiar faces like Travis Tritt,

Randy Houser, Thompson Square, Florida Georgia Line, The Band Perry and Brantley Gilbert. To build anticipation for the threeday festival, WE Fest on the Road” will be bringing some of the hottest up-and-coming country acts in the Midwest to venues throughout Minnesota and North Dakota this spring. Visit the main page of WE Fest’s website, www.wefest.com, for details, as well as for information on purchas-

ing festival music tickets and camping packages. Aspiring singers who have dreams of joining these artists on the WE Fest stage someday are invited to take part in the WE Fest Karaoke Roundup, which starts in January and wraps up with a grand finale in late May/early June (the date had not yet been set as of this magazine’s publication). More information is available online at www.wefestroundup.com.

Veterans Memorial Park provides majestic gateway to Detroit Lakes

On Veterans Day, Nov. 11, 2011, government officials shared the stage with Becker County veterans’ organizations for the official dedication of the new Veterans Memorial Park, located at the corner of Washington Avenue and U.S. Highway 10 in downtown Detroit Lakes. The focal point of the park is the Becker County Veterans Memorial, an 11x12-foot granite monument that was constructed by Detroit Lakes’ own Ness Granite Works. The monument is fronted by five flagpoles, which on special occasions will fly flags representing each branch of the U.S. Armed Forces as well as the American flag. The 0.8-acre park also includes a curved sidewalk

lined with engraved granite pavers and benches, honoring area war veterans and those who have served both past and present. The sidewalk leads from the monument at the park’s west entrance to a raised amphitheater on its east side, which was dedicated in August 2012. Also included in the new park are four previously constructed memorials that used to stand in the old county veterans park next to the county courthouse (the park was dismantled to make way for a courthouse expansion three years ago). Those monuments, installed in the spring of 2012, include a memorial to fallen Becker County war veterans; a firemen’s memorial; a Sept. 11, 2001 memorial; and a flag dedication stone.
