A meeting of American State Nationals will be held at the Litchfield Public Library meeting room on Saturday at 10 a.m. and everyone is welcome. Jeanette Stottrup provided information about the organization on KLFD’s “Newsmaker” program yesterday.
Stottrup says our nation is at a crossroads with a full-blown constitutional crisis on our hands and American State Nationals are coming together with meetings on the grass-roots level for discussion to bring about a solution. She says the public record must be corrected – based on the Naturalization Act of 1779 – for people to publicly declare their citizenship.
Stottrup says a declaration of citizenship needs to be made in the newspaper or at the Court House, and since the 1920s, people have relied on their birth certificate as proof of citizenship. She says the meeting she is hosting on Saturday at the Litchfield Public Library will provide people with more insight on how to reclaim the inheritance of our federal republic. It begins at 10 a.m. on March 29th in the Litchfield Public Library meeting room.
Each day a business will be featured as “Business of the Day” and every time their commercial is aired be the 7th caller and win a chance to receive KLFD Bucks to be spent at our “Business of the Day” locations.
Monday thru Friday, at 4 pm we will draw out a winner to be put into our final drawing to be held sometime later in April. Once your name has been drawn out daily and put into the final drawing, you are no longer qualified to call in. Otherwise, you can keep calling in once a day to qualify.

On Saturday afternoon at 3:41, the Meeker County Sheriff’s Office took a report of a structure fire in the 61000 block of CSAH 18 in Greenleaf township. Litchfield Fire Department responded along with five other fire departments: Cosmos, Grove City, Dassel, Lake Lillian, and Hutchinson. Deputies arrived to find a shed, containing hay bales, fully engulfed in flames. The fire is believed to be the result of a brush fire that worked its way to the shed. Fire departments were on the scene for nearly 6 hours extinguishing the fire. The shed and its contents, owned by Kaping Farms, are a total loss. No injuries were reported as a result of the fire. Also assisting at the scene were Litchfield Rescue Squad and Mayo Ambulance.
Litchfield Community Theatre will present “Annie Jr” April 10th, 11th and 12th at 7 p.m. and on April 13th at 2 p.m. in the Bernie Aaker Auditorium. Tickets are $10. For the Litchfield Visitors Bureau, this is a great event for attracting people to town.
“Annie Jr” director Heidi Pennertz says there are 34 kids in the cast and they come from four different school districts. She says it’s similar to the adult version of “Annie” – about an orphan in the 1930s who’s rescued by a millionaire – just a little shorter.
Pennertz says “Annie” was produced by Litchfield Community Theatre for its summer production 17 years ago. She says she last directed the Youth Theatre in 2019 for “Beauty and the Beast,” and she says this will be a fun show so people should get tickets which are available at Litchfield Community Education or at litchfieldcommunitytheatre.com.
Janaye Prieve from the Litchfield Visitors Bureau says you can purchase tickets at the door, but if you get your tickets in advance, you can sit where you want to sit. She says the Youth Theatre always puts on a great show.
Prieve says the Litchfield Visitors Bureau is also looking forward to the Parade of Bands on June 17th. For more information on any upcoming events in Litchfield, go to litchfieldmn.com or call the Chamber office at 693-8184.
