At any rate, Judy Lonnberg of Beach decided to make a project of completing the old quilts in time for the annual quilt auction held to benefit the Badlands Ministries Camp near Medora. One is a 1960s-era quilt with a circus pattern and the other is a 1930s-era quilt with an egg carton pattern. Lonnberg said she dated the ’60s quilt by the fabric, which the manufacturer quit making in 1960 and the earlier quilt by its use of fabrics common to that time period. She has about 50 hours invested in completing the ‘60s circus quilt and about 200 in completing the ‘30s egg carton quilt. Jordan Grosz, the scout, asked the Hazen City Commission what it thinks about turning three lots near the town’s tennis courts into a fenced area where dogs could romp and play with their owners and other dogs.
