Mission Statement

This website was created for people who live in and around the town of Hutchinson, Minnesota. To discuss relevant and irrelevant issues that we all confront on a daily basis. Hutchinson has the quaintness of a small town and the progressive thinking of a big town. It's located in south central part of the state - approx. 60 miles west of Minneapolis.

Crow River Fountain

The South Fork of the Crow River flows through Hutchinson and is contained by a dam. A reservoir or millpond was created by the dam and has had many purposes in the past. In the millpond, a fountain was installed in approx. 2000 as a point of interest and to set the community apart from others. Having spoken with people in the community, some love the fountain, some hate it, and some ridicule it. Tragically, during the winter of 2006-07, vandals stole the fountain's electrical extension cord - presumably for the copper in it and rendering the fountain inoperable. To this point the fountain has not been repaired and is still in dry dock. So for those who love and miss the fountain, I give you the fountain.....
