On Thursday, Aug. 11, the Luverne Area Chamber and community members celebrated two ribbon-cuttings on East Main Street.
One was for the new Wildflowers Coffee Boutique mobile beverage and lunch trailer, which will operate in the community in addition to its downtown restaurant location.
The other ribbon-cutting celebrated the completion of the new Plaza shelter building in the lot west of the Rock County History Center.
Chamber Director Jane Wildung Lanphere congratulated Tracy Wieneke and her Wildflowers team for their new mobile venture, and she praised the Design Committee of LIFT (Luverne Initiatives For Tomorrow) for “following through with their vision” for a Main Street Plaza location.
Dozens of people lingered at the plaza under blue skies and pleasant temperatures while Ron and Jane Cote provided live music for the occasion and the Wildflowers staff served lunch and refreshments from the new food and beverage trailer.
