Norwegian bed wins blue ribbon for Kyle Nyseth antique project
Kyle Nyseth, 12, refined a bed once owned by his Norwegian immigrant great great grandfather Christian Balstad from a Fall Creek farmhouse. He discovered two beds in the abandoned home, restored one with tung oil for a blue ribbon, and donated an original underspring to a museum. He plans a water bed and may raise pigs to fund it, missing this year’s fair due to illness.

Dunn County Fair will showcase History Center exhibits under the grandstand at Menomonie’s fair. The highlight is the 1910 Dunn County U S Census on microfilm, released by the National Archives after prior privacy restrictions. Gayle Martinson notes the census aids family history research and draws broader public interest beyond Dunn County ancestors.
