county wideAUDUBON 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 farm-ers 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 Team Industries and other indus-tries, as well as the Audubon con-venience store (Orton’s), Aurochs Veterinary Service, DreamMakers Bath & Kitchen and Country Wood Products. Audubon also maintains a post office, a co-op elevator, a municipal liquor store, a bank (State Bank & Trust of Audubon), a meat market (Audubon Meat Inc.), and the Zephyr Supper Club.

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 north-ward in 1903, the Callaway com-munity 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, munici-pal liquor store, Native Harvest, Noah’s Insurance and On the Go Convenience Store, Tungesbick Service Station.

DETROIT LAKES Detroit Lakes was original-ly home of the Sioux, until the
Chippewa pushed them westward. During the mid 1800s, Detroit Lakes was a favorite resting place for trav-elers 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 pro-nouncing 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 impor-tant agricultural area; it is also the center of a thriving “412 Lakes’’ tourism district. Besides providing a strong educational system for its residents, Detroit Lakes is home to many different churches, industrial parks and a variety of retail busi-nesses.
Detroit Lakes service organi-zations include: American Legion, Eagles, Jaycees, Kiwanis, Lions, Masons, Optimist Club, Rotary, VFW and Auxiliary, and Women of Today.

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 log-
ging “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, pota-toes, and livestock. Lake Park was named for a beau-tiful lake which used to be located on the original townsite. In the early 1870s, this lake was drained, how-ever, 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 coopera-tive, drug store, hair salons, gro-
cery 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.Population: 783 (2010 Census)City Government Meetings: 2nd Monday of each month at City Center, 7 pmMayor: Keith ZachariasonClerk-Treasurer: Lonnie Neuner, 238-5532; Carla Nelson, deputy clerkCouncil Members: Martin Pepper, Jason Abbott, Jason Crabtree and Aaron WitnebelAssessor : Lowell SkoogFire Chief: Vance Larson Volunteer fire department serving the city of Lake Park and five town-ships including: Cuba, Cormorant, Lake Park, Hamden, and Riceville.Police Chief: Jay Nelson Utilities: Don Qualley, supt.Liquor Store: Phyllis Sagen

OGEMA Ogema is located on Becker County’s northern most boundary on Minnesota Highway 59. It’s approxi-mately 21 miles due north of Detroit Lakes. Ogema was founded in 1906, nearly 40 years after the establish-ment 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 (Waubun-Ogema-White Earth), and Most Holy Redeemer Catholic Church. The White Earth Initiative office building is a recent addition.

OUTLYINGCOMMUNITIES HITTERDAL, located in Clay County, was incorporated as a vil-lage on April 1, 1918, and sepa-rated from the townships on May 3, 1919. It is named for a valley and lake in southern Norway. Among the first settlers were several peo-ple 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 town-site 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, mean-ing “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 incor-porated 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 rail-road 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 state-of-the-art community fitness and recreation center; a 27-hole, cham-pionship 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 des-ignate Soo Line sleeping cars that traveled between Minneapolis and Winnipeg. The post office began as Candor in 1904, the railroad sta-tion 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.

Theatre to celebrate 10th anniversary in May 2012May 2012 marks the 10th anni-versary of the opening of Detroit Lakes’ Historic Holmes Theatre. Since that time, the 837-seat theater located inside the Detroit Lakes Commu-nity & Cultural Center complex on Summit Av-enue has hosted more than 100,000 audience members, 270 perfor-mances and 40 free shows. Last year alone, more than 22,000 people attended main stage shows, and more than 5,500 area students attended daytime school shows at the Holmes. The Holmes Theatre brings lo-cal, re-gional, national and inter-national perform-ances to Detroit Lakes. Previous shows have in-cluded the New York Theatre Bal-
let, Canadian Brass, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, America, the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra, Deuces Wild! Dueling Pianos, the South-ern Fried Chicks, John Berry and Lorie Line as well as many local performers who have participated in local talent shows, dance and piano recitals and stage shows. For more information, call the Holmes Box Office at 218-844-7469, or visit the website at www.dlccc.org.
The balcony club seating is an ideal vantage point for
viewing the entire stage of the Holmes Theatre, which
opened in 2002.
Answer: Tall pines and beautiful, unde-veloped lakes. A great diversity of habitats - ranging from old-growth pines and majes-tic hardwood forests to grasslands and farm edges. Historic logging and cultural sites. Abundant wildlife. Question: What can you see while walk-ing, XC skiing, or snowshoeing along the North Country National Scenic Trail (NCT) in Becker County? Yes, it’s true. These are all things that you will find in abundance on our local segment of the nation’s longest hik-
ing trail. The North Country Trail is a 4,600 mile hiking trail extending from upstate New York to west central North Dakota. While ad-ministered by the National Park Service, it is built and maintained by volunteers associ-ated with the North Country Trail Associa-tion (NCTA). The Laurentian Lakes Chapter is respon-sible for the NCT within Becker County and currently has an active volunteer base that builds, maintains, and promotes the trail.

North Country Scenic Trail: Enjoying nature’s beauty up close
On Veterans Day, Nov. 11, 2011, government officials shared the stage with Becker County veterans’ organiza-tions for the official dedication of the new Veterans Memo-rial Park, located at the corner of Washington Avenue and U.S. Highway 10 in down-town Detroit Lakes. The focal point of the park is the Becker County Vet-erans Memorial, an 11x12-foot granite monument that was constructed by Detroit Lakes’ own Ness Gran-ite Works. The monument is fronted by five flagpoles, which on spe-cial occasions will fly flags representing each branch of the U.S. Armed Forces as well as the American flag. Also included in the new park will be 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 court-house expansion three years ago). Those monuments include a memorial to fallen Becker County war veterans; a firemen’s memorial; a Sept. 11, 2001 memorial; and a flag dedication stone. Though not yet fully completed, the 0.8-acre park will eventually include a tree-lined sidewalk lined with en-graved granite pavers and benches, many honoring area veterans.

Sausage BurritoSpice up your morning with
peppers, onions, fluffy scrambled eggs, sausage and melty cheese all
wrapped in a soft tortilla.
Sausage McMuffin with EggMake morning sizzle with a freshly toasted English muffin, savory sausage hot off the griddle, a slice of melty American cheese and a freshly cracked Grade A egg*.
Big MacMaybe it's the double layer of sear-sizzled 100% pure beef mingled with the sauce and melty cheese, the snap of the onion and the tart crunch of pickle. Or maybe it's just that it's tall. Either way, you so want one.
Try our signature items
Quarter Pounder with CheeseIt's 100% pure beefy cheesiness. It tastes great, and it knows it.
Two slices of melting cheese, a quarter pound of 100% pure beef and a toasted sesame seed bun. Really, what's not to love?
