For Conrad City Clerk and Administrator Denise Hoy, the community of Conrad, Montana—a small town of about 2,500 residents nestled in the northwest part of the state and located east of Glacier National Park—is quite familiar: in her 20 years on the job, she has received bills, payments and all sorts of mail that were meant for the “other” Conrad. When Hoy and her husband Barry recently took a vacation in Big Sky Country, they stopped in Conrad, visited city hall and finally explored their sister city for the first time.
           

During the Grundy County Fair last week, the county’s Iowa State University Extension Office marked its 100-year anniversary. County 4-H and Youth Coordinator Andrea Traeger caught up with The Grundy Register on Tuesday to discuss the history of the extension office, its mission and its future.
           

GRUNDY CENTER – At last week’s regularly scheduled Grundy Center school board meeting, board members voted to end several sharing agreements with Gladbrook-Reinbeck, including golf and track sharing for both boys and girls. The board also voted to end the wrestling sharing agreement with G-R and North Tama.
At least one decision, the decision to end golf sharing, was mutual between the two schools, as the G-R school board had already voted to end it at their May meeting.
