Residents of Lake Township headed to the polls Tuesday at the Lake Township Hall just west of Warroad for their annual township election.

Voting remained open for ten hours, from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m., with a number of residents casting ballots during the day.

When the ballots were tallied up Tuesday night, Kent Peterson was elected township supervisor, receiving 27 of the votes cast.

Bobbi Aker was elected township clerk with 26 votes cast for Aker.

Township officials say the annual meeting and election allow residents to directly choose local leadership and discuss township business for the year ahead. Officials are also reminding residents of their monthly township meetings at Lake Township Hall each month, on the second Wednesday of the month.

The Warroad American Legion Auxiliary Unit Number 25 is showing appreciation for local veterans with a special breakfast event later this month at the Phoenix Restaurant in Warroad.

On Tuesday, March 18th, the Auxiliary will host a free breakfast for all veterans as a thank you for the service and sacrifices made by those who have served our country.

Veterans are invited to bring their spouses or significant others along to enjoy the morning together. While the Auxiliary is covering the cost of breakfast for veterans, guests are welcome to attend but will need to purchase their own meal.

The breakfast will take place Wednesday March 18th at 10am and all local veterans are encouraged to stop by, enjoy a good meal, and get recognized for your service to our country.
