LOCAL NEWS-
Recent University of Minnesota Crookston graduate Austin Strukel 2016 is getting to know Crookston more as a community rather than a college town.  He was offered an opportunity to work for the Crookston Chamber of Commerce as an intern, all while finishing his last semester of college.  When his internship ended in April, another door opened.  Strukel is now currently working for the City of Crookston. “I liked getting out into the community more,” the business management major explained.  “I was able to deal with a lot of businesses that I’ve never been to before and talk with people that I normally wouldn’t have talked to.”
At the Chamber, he worked with different businesses, promoting multiple events by writing press releases for the newspaper and radio and sending out email blasts.  For the city, Strukel is focusing more on event organization and doing some marketing for them as well.  He is currently working on the Canoe and Kayak Race for the Ox Cart Days Festival that will take place August 17-21 in Crookston.
