Rural Youth Have Aged

In 1960, the Rural Youth Group in Nicollet County was changing. The young single people who made up the group were getting married! What to do? What to do? Why not start a young married couples group? Good Idea!!!!!
With the help of Fred Wetherill, County Agent, the Nicollet County Young Couple's Club was born. Now, 48 years later, we are still a couple's club - even though we are not young! We have taken the word "young" out of our name - but we are still young in other ways. How you ask?
We probably hold the record for the group that has attended the most Syttende Mai events at Hanska. That would be 18 years that our group has laughed at those Norwegians.
We have held Halloween Costume parties; gone roller skating; taken mystery trips; held hay rides, progressive dinners, fondue parties and more. We like history and we have seem many historic sites and learned much about the people who settled our area. Read more about our group in the book in progress. REMEMBER HISTORY MATTERS! end
