Linton, ND

You may see employees at the Emmons County Courthouse wearing jeans a little more often than on the usual Jean Days. The group has set up a committee and in order to raise more funds for their charity of choice, for a time period for $2 a week jeans can be worn to work on Thursdays and Fridays.

This year funds were donated to students that went to the National Science Fair. Then we sent the last round of collections to the local schools for their Prom or Grad Finale celebrations.

The next round of jean funds is earmarked to help Violet Haak’s family with medial bills.

If given the chance there are some of us that would be willing to pay $5 a week and wear our jeans.
