WINONA, Minn. – Local Democrats spent the morning making signs for a series of demonstrations through March at Central Park. The theme: “Stand Up for Democracy.” The first demonstration was planned for evening commute time on Monday, 5 to 5:30, at the pocket park behind the Post Office. The demonstrations will be every Monday, said organizer Kristen Melnichenko.
