The brightly colored sign which was hung last spring on the former Mel’s Country Grocery building in Sheldon labels the building as the home of the Save The Hens Foundation as well as the Sheldon Community Center.
To those visiting Sheldon for the first time, the sign may pose more questions than answers. However, a tour of the building with local historian Alice Marie Krueger will quickly put those questions to rest.
The restoration of the building, which has taken place over the past couple of years, has transformed the building into a frequently used community center. The building serves as a meeting place for the Sheyenne Braves 4-H Club, the Sheldon American Legion and its Auxiliary, and the Sheldon Lions Club. It also serves as the Sheldon Senior Citizen Center and is available for meetings of the Sheldon City Council. In addition to the regular events, the building is often rented by members of the community for such occasions as birthdays, anniversaries, reunions, and graduations. Read the rest of this entry »
