Larry and Shirley Gluehesien accompanied their granddaughter Madison Solderholm during local Alzheimer Society’s fifth-annual “Walk for Memories” here Sunday. The walk, which drew about 20 participants, raised more than $3,400 for the Alzheimer Society. The top fundraiser was Helen Cone, who brought in $825, winning a one-night stay at the Canad Inn Fort Garry in Winnipeg as well as two tickets to the Celebration Dinner Theatre. Walkers, lead by Mayor Roy Avis, were treated to healthy snacks and ice cream back at the Super 8 after completing two laps around the track at the high school.
