- Art groups lose home in Burnsville

One tenant, the Burnsville Visual Arts Society, had a garage sale June 24 and 25 to sell supplies it can't store there anymore. Carolyn Carlson formerly of Apple Valley who has been with the Arts Society since its inception was at the sale June 24 and gives us a tour of the building.
