Julie Kramer, Mystery Writer

Julie Kramer reinvented herself from journalist to novelist. She writes a mystery series set in the desperate world of television news – a world she knows well from her career as a freelance news producer for NBC and CBS. She also ran the WCCO I-Team in Minneapolis, where she won numerous national investigative awards. Her thrillers take readers inside how newsrooms make decisions amid chaos.

An avid reader, she tired of fictional TV reporters always being portrayed as obnoxious, secondary characters who could be killed off whenever the plot started dragging. Her series features reporter Riley Spartz as the heroine.

Learn about Julie’s creative process and visit with her about her mystery series!

Read Stalking Susan, book one in Kramer’s mystery series.

Niagra Ground Driven Duster

Allan Dragseth and Roger Odegaard are third generation sugarbeet farmers. Together they co-founded the Red River Sugarbeet Museum in Crookston. Allan is the current president and Roger is the vice president. They both had exhaustive collections of memorabilia related to both sugarbeet farming and sugarbeet industry in the Red River Valley, much of which they have donated to the museum. They have acquired many antique and vintage pieces of equipment for the Sugarbeet Museum, and much of it has been restored. In addition, Allan has collected old movies  featuring sugarbeet harvests from the last fifty years and has converted most of them to narrated DVDs for public viewing.
