| The community will be saluting Holly
Sugar and the growers during Sugar Days 2001 Oct. 24-27 to celebrate
another sugar beet harvest.
Holly Sugar, the growers and the workers create
Sidneys largest industry by far and once a year we take the opportunity
to salute their contribution to our community. The Roundup, in cooperation
with Holly Sugar, the Montana-Dakota Sugarbeet Growers Association, all
Holly workers and area businesses, is again sponsoring Sugar Days 2001.
The Roundup will be publishing a special edition
devoted to the story of Holly Sugar in the Mon-Dak area. It is the only
local crop that goes from the ground to the table right here in the Lower
Yellowstone Valley.
Along with the special edition, a poster contest
will be conducted for grade school children in the area. The posters will
be displayed in businesses throughout the area.
The Roundup will also hold a grand prize drawing for
framed artwork. Participating businesses will be given a five-pound bag of
sugar to be used for display and to be given away. Employees of
participating businesses will be wearing You Cant Beet Holly
Sugar stickers during the promotion.
In conjunction with Sugar Days 2001, The Roundup is
hosting their annual Make It With Holly Sugar Contest Friday, Oct.
