Tim Edwards, Blue Earth County Physical Plant Director, adjusts settings on the control unit that was installed in the early 1990s. The unit located in an attic utility area had to be manually set for time changes and could only play three songs via an eight-track cassette. The new unit will be much smaller, be located in a downstairs office, and will be able to play thousands of songs. Photo by John Cross
