The Church of Our Lady in Manannah is hosting the Grilled Smoked Pork Chop Supper and raffle on Sunday from 4-to-7 p.m. The menu includes grilled smoked pork chops, au gratin potatoes, corn, bread and dessert.
Parish member Barb Laabs says the cost is $15 for adults, $6 for children 6-to-12 and free for children 5 and under – and take-outs are available. She says there will also be a country store with garden produce and baked goods.
Laabs says raffle tickets are $5 each and they’re available from any parish member or at the church office. She says the drawing is at 7 p.m. and you need not be present to win, but a lot of people stick around to find out who won.
Laabs says the supper is a great social event – drawing people from Eden Valley, Paynesville, Grove City, Litchfield and the whole area. She says they are getting ready for their 150th anniversary next year and the proceeds from Sunday’s event will help with church upkeep.
Laabs says there are 91 raffle prizes and the cash prizes alone total $5,300. She says the paving project on County-State-Aid-Highway 3 has been underway and the portion between Highways 22 and 4 was just completed.
The Minnesota State Patrol responded to a 3-vehicle crash in Stearns County at 8:51 Thursday morning in which a motorcyclist from Glenwood was killed. It occurred on Highway 28 at Highway 71 in Sauk Centre Township.
A 2025 Freightliner straight truck was eastbound on Highway 28 – driven by 32-year-old Ramon Jesus Garcia Rangel of St. Paul. A 1997 Harley-Davidson motorcycle – driven by 63-year-old Todd Curtis Thorstad of Glenwood – was stopped at the stop sign on Highway 28, behind a 2011 Chevrolet Silverado – driven by 22-year-old Dayton Michael Kasten-Jensen of Alexandria – who was turning northbound onto Highway 71. The Freightliner collided with the motorcycle and then collided with the Chevrolet at the intersection. Neither Rangel nor Jensen were injured. Thorstad was killed in the crash. Also responding were Sauk Centre Police Dept., and Sauk Centre Fire and Ambulance.
On Thursday morning at 11:53 a.m., the Renville County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a two-vehicle crash on County Road 11 at 300th Street in Winfield Township – 4 miles northwest of Olivia. Deputies learned that a 2002 Chevrolet Silverado pulling a trailer was traveling east on County Road 11 and that a 2011 Dodge Ram was traveling north on 300th Street approaching the intersection.
The Dodge Ram failed to stop at the stop sign and entered the intersection striking the trailer being pulled by the Chevrolet Silverado which caused the trailer to separate from the pickup. The trailer and the Dodge Ram entered the ditch. The Chevrolet Silverado was being driven by 61-year-old Jeffery Manderscheid of Olivia. The Dodge Ram was being driven by 68-year-old Myron Macik of Hector. Macik sustained injuries and was transported by a private vehicle to an area hospital. Manderscheid was not injured.
