David Bunn spent years living in Green Bay Packer country, and he indeed experienced pressure to root for the green and gold. But his resolve never wavered, even through a Super Bowl championship season.
“There certainly was some pressure to change over, but I held strong,” said Bunn. “I’ve been a Vikings fan since I was a little boy. I kept my purple and gold.”
That’s a good thing.
Bunn has returned to Viking territory and, in fact, came full circle. The 1992 NRHEG High School graduate is the new NRHEG High School Principal.

Rain washed out a few events but, for the most part, New Richland’s 2013 Farm and City Days went off without a hitch last weekend.
The three-day community event — held July 12-14 this year — annually seems to multiply the town’s population, and this year was no different. Many class reunions for New Richland-Hartland, Ellendale-Geneva and NRHEG were held as people made room in their homes for friends and relatives.
From kids’ activities on the street and in the park, to the Saturday night street dance featuring the music of IV Play, the weekend offered something for everyone, regardless of age.
“It was a fun weekend,” said Farm and City Days Committee member Kelly Martens. “It was fun to see everyone enjoying their time with family and friends.”
