By Dylan Belden, Albert Lea Tribune

Kay Tufte of Albert Lea, left, Jodee Lestrud and Kaled Lestrud,

6, of Albert Lea, hold signs supporting the Albert Lea school

operating referendum on Bridge Avenue near Fountain Lake Monday

afternoon. Supporters took turns displaying signs at several locations

around Albert Lea on the day before voters decide the referendum.

Some cars honked as they passed, drawing a wave from Tufte and

Lestrud.
