Wyoming Scouts get cold to support mayor


While Wyoming Mayor Sheldon Anderson was isolated for his 141-hour stay on the roof of city hall, he wasn’t alone for his final night on Saturday. Scouts from Troop 142 camped out overnight in snow forts as a sign of support and a way to earn Zero Hero medals. Scouts taking part were Daniel Mollet, Tim Brennhofer, Adam Sieber, Evan Finley and Jacob Gregerson. The Scouts spent most of Saturday afternoon digging snow forts and preparing for the night. The mayor, who can been seen in the background on top the city hall roof, raised about $5000 for the ISD 831 Community Education Teen Center in Forest Lake. (Photo By Cliff Buchan

Thanks to everyone that came out today to see me down. Several exciting opportunity's came up during my stay on the roof that may help us get the word out. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Either way we will succeed in keeping the doors of the Teen Center open for area youth and providing a safe place for kids to go after school.

That is all for now but please keep checking back for updates and more information about the Teen Center. Once all the donations come in I'll be posting a total. I intend to continue seeking donations from the ground.

Day 7


The Scouts and I survived a cold night together. -5 below zero is what the temp ended up at early this morning. The Scouts are all packed up and off for a day of skiing. It's been a great week in getting the message out about the Teen Center. The donations are down from last year but the awareness, support and message about how important the Teen Center is to our kids has never been stronger. The kids know there are many people that care about them and the program and that is very special. It's been a honor and privilege in helping get the message out over the last week.

Fox 9 News is on the way up so I need to do some packing and house keeping.

See you on the ground!
