Windmill Days Crew

Hello!  I am a Baldwin girl through and through!  I am mostly Dutch. I live just outside of Baldwin with my husband Jeff on the farm where we have raised our four daughters. 

I have been with Windmill Days since the beginning and currently serve as the treasurer of Windmill Days.  I also support our marketing/sponsorship and activites committees as needed.  I have so many great memories of past "Let's Go Dutch Days"" and I am loving what our small committee is brining to Windmill Days.

To me community is an experience that for most has an increased positive mental health, economic development, tourism, educational opportunities, stronger relationships, collaborating on a common goal, and working together to express our community pride! A sense of belonging, trust, safety, and caring are just a few words to describe this community. Community isn’t just Baldwin or Baldwin-Woodville but an inclusion to all those that visit and sometimes stay. I serve on the Windmill Days Committee to continue the tradition of prior volunteers that did the same for me as a child, it’s seeing the families spending time together, the businesses becoming stronger with increased customers, the desire to share Baldwin with other communities, but most of all it’s the smiles on people’s faces! When we cheer for and support each other, we are all stronger together!

Hello!  As a transplant from a small town in South Dakota, I have found Baldwin to abe a similar type of community as I grew up in - where residents were more like family; where neighbors get to know each other, and encourage each others growth as individuals, teams, groups or in businesses; where we celebrate victories, mourn losses, and come together to share milestones.  My husaband Ron and I built our home here and have raised two wonderful daughters in Baldwin.

I joined Windmill Days in 2021 to assist with building a community celebration that brings people together to relax, laugh, and enjoy life a litte.  I currently serve as Windmill Days VP, assist with Sponsorship and Activites, and serve as our Volunteer Coordinator for the various events, activities, as well as the clean up crew to ensure the parks and streets are kept clean during the event.  I also love to coordinate the wine and charcuterie event held on Thursday evening!  I hop to see you all at Windmill Days!!

 Hello. I was born, raised, and still reside in Baldwin. My family consists of my Husband Vince, 3 daughters, a Stepson, 2 sons-in-laws, and 7 grandchildren. I worked for the Baldwin-Woodville School District for 22+ years as a Bus Driver and a Paraprofessional. In October I took on a new adventure, yet you will still see me driving the bus for trips. 

I joined the Windmill Days Committee and Parade subcommittee in 2021 and have enjoyed this journey so far.  You will see me the day of the parade hanging out with the bands at their staging area and sending them into the parade route when it is their time. Hanging out with the marching bands is one of my favorite things to do. You will also find me up at the Main tent working Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. I love living in Baldwin and I love being a part of planning its towns festivity where it brings everyone together and others who do not live here can come and enjoy our town and take part in the many different events that we have to offer. 

Hello!  I am a homegrown River Falls gals but moved to Baldwin 7 years ago and have never regretted my decision.  I joined this awesome group of volunteers who have a strong desire to bring fun and entertain Baldwin.  I am currently on the King's Day Pub Crawl Committee and the Chair of the Entertainment Committee - which brings you all of the live music to entertain you during our celebration.  I am proud to be showing my two boys how important it is to be involved with helping and supporting the town we live in.

Living out my younger days in Iowa and graduating high school in Bloomington Minnesota, I came to Baldwin over 25 years ago and have called it my home.  It is where I have been proud to live with my wife Angie and raise our 3 girls.  

Some may know me from my days as "Jimmy" at North Meets South but as for Windmill Days I am "Ollie the Operations Guy." My role is to ensure that we have tents, stages, parade markers, and so much more!  Windmill Days provides activites for everyone in the community and I am proud to be apart of this small group that makes this all happen every year.  I look forward to seeing you all at Windmill Days!

Growing up in Baldwin, many of my favorite memories revolve around Bladwin's town celebration.  Joining the Windmill Days Committee in 2022 was an easy decision.  I truly enjoy working with a phenomenal group of volunteers to make Windmill Days a place where people can come together and have fun and make lasting memories. 

My main role with Windmill Days is working with our Merchant Vendors.  We look forward to having an array of options for our coummunity to check out on Saturday morning into the afternoon in Bailey Park.

Hi All!  I am Jen!  I am not a Baldwin native, but I have lived here for 16 years and now call it home. I joined the Windmill Days Committee in August 2021 to be more involved in the community, and, oh boy, did that happen!  I am on the King's Day Pub Crawl committee and was recently added to the activites committee.  I have enjoyed being a member of the committee and meeting so many new people in the  community!  I look forward to more years of fun!

Born and raised Baldwin girl here!  Grandpa G always said "if you ain't Dutch, you ain't much"!  While we know that's not necessarily true..Gramps  sure enjoyed when I would say that to my other Gramps who was 100% Norweigan!

I love the community I grew up in and remember past celebrations that would fill our streets with people and events.  Being able to represent my town as Miss Baldwin gave me so much and now being able to again serve my community with Windmill Days is a real honor. 

I am beyond excited to help create a celebration that will bring our community together and celebrate all that is wonderful and makes up our amazing commuity.  During my time I have met so many of you and so many business owners and it only keeps reminding me of how truly wonderful Baldwin is.  I look foward to seeing each and everyone of you at Windmill Days!  Proost!
