Hermantown

I don't buy lottery tickets, ticket...

But I, I do all my shopping at that little one right on the corner of Haines and Hermantown Road.

So it's technically in Hermantown-

Mm-hmm

With all that door-knocking, what's the biggest issue you've found so far?

Well, a lot of the doors that we're knocking are in the Hermantown, Proctor, Midway, Solway area.

Ah, okay.

And so the data center tends to be-

And so, uh, you know, giving a multi-trillion dollar corporation a tax break, you know, just didn't sit well with most people.

Mm-hmm.

So I'm glad that Google decided to take that off the table because if the data center gets built, that would have a huge impact on a community like Hermantown.

I know the big guy, and I know Wayne Boucher really well.

North Branch beat Denfeld 61 to 34.

Hermantown 42, Rock Ridge 12.

Grand Rapids knocked off Proctor 21 zip.

They stopped that game early.

Now, for folks that might not be familiar with Never Surrender Incorporated, tell the, tell us a little bit about your organization and the mission behind what you do.

Absolutely.

So we are a non-profit based out of Hermantown, and we raise money to help fund the fight against ALS.

So we've got our three events.

I know it's not, like, their choice.

Like, this, like, we can have the whole Hermantown conversation.

Oh, wait, that is their choice.

But, like, Quinnipiac just over the course of the year, it's gonna be hard for them to really prove and solidify for me who they are.

But they're not gonna be the absolute pushover that they have been.

That's fair.

Um, selfishly, I hope they do have a really terrible season and maybe some other sort of turmoil goes on within the program, and then AJ Francisco can decommit and recommit to UMD and play with all of his Hermantown friends.

There you go.

Okay.

Uh, you are from Northern Minnesota, Hermantown, correct?

Correct.

Correct.
