WJON's Small Town Friday series took us this time to Rice, Minnesota. Rice is a community of 1,275 people, located in Benton County north of Sauk Rapids. For this feature I talked with Mary Ostby from the Benton County Historical Society, Rice Mayor Brian Skroch and Rice Police Chief Ross Hamann.
At some point we have all dreamed of the house we would buy if we won the lottery. Those dreams are a real house that is currently on the market in Rice.
I noticed a house built into a hill. It's one of those things that makes you wonder what the idea was behind the home being built into the side of the hill, what does it look like inside, why aren't more homes built like that?
