Carlton County, Dontcha Know: Action-packed summer edition
Jul. 14—CLOQUET — We have had the pleasure of hosting a few summer interns, and Owen Resberg, who will be a senior in the fall at Wrenshall High School, is one of them. He finished a month-long internship through Upward Bound at the College of St. Scholastica this week.
Owen put together several stories for the Duluth Media Group slate of publications, including this one about
Farm LoLa ramping up its days for honeyberry picking.
It was fun teaching Owen about journalism and watching him put those skills to action! We wish him all the best for his senior year and beyond!
Here's what else we've been working on this week:
