 Well a thank you note can go a long way and for one local Bemidji organization a thank you note was enough to have their congressman stop by for a visit. Congressman Colin Peterson stopped by the headwaters school of music and the arts who received a grant earlier this year that was provided by the region two arts council. Congressman Peterson took the time to see the sights and sounds of the organization which he says is one of the benefits of being on the campaign trail. I get to see the best and brightest and most successful of what's going on in this district. You know I mean I have the ability to call people up and they're willing to you know show me what they're up to and so it's really is one of the great things we have so many great people in this district that do just amazing things that people wouldn't even believe and I get to interact with them. Congressman Peterson was also able to meet staff and observe the Young Artist Club. If you enjoyed this segment of Lakeland news please consider making a tax deductible contribution to Lakeland PBS.
