Christmas gatherings bring many from Burt and beyond
A long run of Christmas dinners and visits spreads through Burt and nearby towns. Families including Shipler, Larsen, Ringsdorf, Thompson, Becker, and Govern celebrate at multiple homes, sharing meals, gifts, and hospitality across Algona, Whittemore, Bancroft, and Des Moines connections. A closing note assures Delaware’s low altitude and Colorado’s high altitude as a light regional aside.
