My husband and I sometimes go through Bemidji on vacation treks to his home town, Thief River Falls MN, to visit his family, and Bemidji is a major stop for us along the way. Of course there is a picture of me and Paul and Babe somewhere in my “photo archives”—!!

Palmer True Value to be precise. We had a “Paul” as our store mascot. He was big hit with the kids. In fact, one year someone cut him down. But lucky, something like that is hard to hide and he was returned.
Funny to know they exist in other places.
