After a lifetime of visiting my grandparents in Granite Falls, I know to count on certain town occurrences. Each winter, the lutefisk and lefse will arrive at Willie's Korner Store, and all the houses along the main drag will stake oversized, personalized wooden holiday cards in their front yards. Come spring, a four- sided cone proclaiming "Baseball Tonite" will pop up, with regularity, at the heart of the central-most intersection. Then there's my favorite --the teeny downtown popcorn stand will open on warm summer evenings, while nearby, pelicans lounge on boulder outcroppings at the foot of the pretty little falls.
