SHOULD THE FIRST QUESTION PASS, THE SECOND WOULD BRING $6 MILLION TO ADD A NEW WELLNESS CENTER TO THE NEW POTENTIAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

>> OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IS OVER 70 YEARS OLD.

WHEN WE DID A STUDY OF A HAND FULL OF 8 OR 9 DIFFERENT AREA SCHOOLS OR SCHOOLS IN THE NORTHERN PART OF OUR STATE, WE FOUND THAT WE HAD THE OLDEST, OVERALL OLDEST BUILDING IN THE AREA.

IF PEOPLE ARE INFORMED, THEY WILL AGREE IT'S A GOOD THING TO DO AT THIS TIME AND IT'S TIME TO REPLACE AND DO SOME UPDATES TO OUR SCHOOL FACILITIES HERE IN AITKIN.

>> THE DISTRICT SAYS THAT SHOULD BOTH REFERENDUMS PASS, HOMES IN THE DISTRICT WORTH $175,000 WOULD SEE A $19 INCREASE ON THEIR TAXES.

[♪♪♪] >>> THE HARMONY FOOD COOPERATIVE IN BEMIDJI HAS A FOCUS ON LOCALLY GROWN AND FARM-TO-TABLE FOODS, AND EARLIER TODAY THEY SHARED THAT FOCUS WITH THE COMMUNITY IN A BIGGER WAY WITH THEIR ANNUAL HARVEST FAIR.

OUR REPORTER SYDNEY DICK STOPPED BY TO SEE WHAT LOCAL FARMERS AND VENDORS ARE BRINGING TO THE AREA.

>> Reporter: THE PARKING LOT OF HARMONY FOOD CO-OP WAS FULL OF SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST CARS AS THE STORE HELD THEIR ANNUAL HARMONY HARVEST FAIR.

LIVE MUSIC, FACE PAINTING, AND A FARMER'S MARKET FEATURED A FULL DAY OF FOCUSING ON LOCAL FARMERS.

>> WE HAVE A REAL EMPHASIS AS A CO-OP THAT WE WANT TO PROMOTE LOCAL.

WE'RE INVESTED.

THAT WAY, WE'RE ABLE TO KEEP THE DOLLARS IN THE COMMUNITY AND BENEFITTING THE LOCAL VENDORS AND FARMERS.

>> Reporter: THE HARVEST FAIR HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR NEARLY A DECADE AND OF COURSE IT IS MAINLY ABOUT SUPPORTING LOCAL, IT'S ALSO ABOUT GATHERING THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER.

>> YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A LOT TO DO IN OUR WORLD, A LOT OF CHALLENGES HERE AND THERE, BUILDING COMMUNITY IS GOING TO BE AT THE CORE OF SOLVING ALL OF THOSE CHALLENGES.

WE CAN'T DO IT ON OUR OWN.

WE'RE STRONGER TOGETHER AND I HAVE BEEN SAYING THAT FOR YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS BECAUSE WE ARE.

>> Reporter: THE ANNUAL EVENT WAS FILLED WITH TENTS OF ALL LOCAL VENDORS WITH A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT PRODUCTS AND FUN ACTIVITIES FOR KIDS TIED EVERYTHING TOGETHER INTO A FULL DAY OF THE HARVEST FAIR.

WE HAVE SOMEONE GROWING THEIR VEGETABLES AND DOING WOOD CARVING, AND POTTERY, AND ONE THING I REALLY LOVE ABOUT UP NORTH HERE, WE ALL WANT TO LIVE IN A GOOD WAY, NOT JUST HAVE A JOB AND MAKE MONEY.

WE WANT TO BE HERE AND ENJOY THE ENVIRONMENT AROUND US.

>> Reporter: AND TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE ENVIRONMENT AROUND THEM IS JUST WHAT THE VENDORS AT THE FAIR DO.

EACH STAND IS GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET THEIR GOODS OUT TO THE PUBLIC AND REACH MORE PEOPLE THAN THEY MAY BE ABLE TO ON THEIR OWN.

>> WE HAVE SO MUCH LOCAL TALENT, WHICH IS REALLY TRUE, BUT WE DON'T ALWAYS GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE IT.

SOMETIMES YOU DON'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY WHEN YOU'RE REALLY SMALL TO GET IN AND GET INTO FOCUS AND BE SEEN AND YOUR GOODS BECOME KNOWN.

WE KNOW WHEN WE'RE IN COMMUNITY AND WE'RE DOING THIS SORT OF THING.

IT FEELS GOOD, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CONNECTING WITH PEOPLE, AND WE GET TO REALLY PRACTICE WHAT THAT IS ALL ABOUT.

>> Reporter: REPORTING FROM BEMIDJI, I'M SYDNEY DICK, LAKELAND NEWS.
