Belle Plaine is celebrating area Stars Over 70, individuals who are helping to make the world a better place through volunteering, working, and serving as role models.

The 2023 honorees are Cindy Ehlen, Dave Hrabak, Jane Hrabak, and Phillip Schwarzkopf. Each Star was interviewed by a student in Susan Mattmiller's creative writing class at Belle Plaine High School.

The interviews of the Stars will be on display through July at Belle Plaine's Hartig Drug, along with thank-you cards created by students in Melissa Kriegel's prep-kindergarten classroom.

The Stars Over 70 celebration is sponsored by the Wallace and Beverly Winkie Foundation.
