Dakota County Tribune staffers left their readers some snippets of news to come as they departed the office for the week of July 4, 1952.
July 4, 1952: This one's pretty self explanatory. The Dakota County Tribune staff took a little break for the Fourth of July holiday in 1952, but made sure to leave their readers with some teasers for next week's news. We at Patch won't all be skipping town (or our websites) for a full week in this day and age, so keep coming back for new content.

Apple Valley-Rosemount Patch will feature a local history item each week.
