Daffodil Days is a much loved program that has offered daffodils to donors in appreciation for their contributions since 1973. But it is more than just giving beautiful flowers; it provides funding for the research, education, advocacy and patient support of the American Cancer Society.
Bunches of daffodils will be available for donations, while supplies last, the week of March 15th at Ben Franklin and Lake of the Woods Foods. Also that week, volunteers will distribute flowers to those who previously ordered products.

The first topic posed to governor’s candidate Mark Dayton was about how the state could ever get out of debt.
Dayton’s answer was quick and to the point: tax the rich. Later he explained that some conservatives had discussed a flat tax, where everyone pays the same percentage of tax. That, he said, would be an improvement but a graduated tax so the wealthiest carry the biggest tax burden, would be better.
