Lost & found seasonal items in Bemidji

Lost holiday decorations near Paul Bunyan statue, Bemidji

Last Friday night around 7:15 p.m., I was downtown Bemidji, near the Paul Bunyan statue by the Lake Bemidji waterfront, when a gust knocked a tote from my cart and scattered my holiday decorations across the sidewalk. A few garlands tangled in the snow, and several ornaments rolled under a bench by the library steps. I did not realize they were missing until after I left, and I am worried they will be ruined in the cold unless they are found soon. These decorations carry memories from last year’s tree at my sister’s house, and I am really hoping they are somewhere safe and recoverable.
