Bidding the 2023 Summer Interns Farewell
That’s a wrap on the 2023 Summer Internship Program!














Congratulations to Bonnie, our Tradition & Trust Core Belief Award recipient this quarter!
For more than 35 years, Bonnie has been a dedicated part of the KLN family, serving in the Kenny's Candy & Confections warehouse. Through her reliability, strong work ethic, and commitment to those around her, she has earned the respect and trust of her teammates while helping shape the culture we value every day.
A special detail in Bonnie's photo: she's holding a hat that was given to her during the early days of her career at KLN—a meaningful reminder of the many years, memories, and milestones she's been a part of along the way.
Thank you, Bonnie, for the impact you've made over the years and for being a true example of Tradition & Trust in action. We are grateful for your dedication and proud to celebrate this well-deserved recognition!

🐢 The turtles are back in town!
One of Perham’s favorite summer traditions returns this week, and we couldn’t be more excited to be part of the fun. Since 1978, Turtle Races have brought families, friends, and visitors together in downtown Perham every Wednesday morning at 10:30 for fun memories and small-town charm.
Beyond the famous races, you’ll find trolley rides, shopping, face painting, great food, local vendors (including us!), and plenty of reasons to stick around all day🍬
Whether you're a longtime Turtle Race fan or experiencing the excitement for the first time, we hope to see you downtown this summer! ... See MoreSee Less
