Sherburne Area News Blog Introduction
A Blog (or weblog) is an online journal comprised of regular posts about events, commentary, notices, and updates combined with graphics, photos, and/or video, written in reverse chronological order, and based on a particular theme.
The Sherburne Area News Blog was launched in October 2008 to introduce residents of the Sherburne Area to their local surroundings, events, organizations, and businesses. The site is the work of Terrie Soberg, who moved to Big Lake, Minnesota from her former home southwest of Nashville, Tennessee.
Terrie decided that it might be beneficial to Sherburne Area residents if she recorded her adventures in exploring her new stomping grounds. Being from the Volunteer State, she is a strong believer in giving to the community.
Look around and see what you can learn about your community!
