Seat 1 Candidate
Greg Booth:
My wife, Vickie Kettlewell, and I own and manage Sunup Ranch. I’ve been a part of Sylvan Township both as a Planning Commission member and Board Supervisor. Sylvan Township government works as I learned it should work in high school civics class: Non-partisan, grassroots government. I appreciate Sylvan Township for its rich mix of forests, water, agriculture, local businesses and people. Some of the projects I am proud to have been a part of include:
- Construction of a modern Town Hall
- Paving project and other road improvements
- Preservation of Township green space
- Regional archeological resources study (grant)
- Expansion of broadband access
I would appreciate your vote.

Troy Hradsky
Having been born and raised in Sylvan Township and now being at the phase in life whereas I have the time to dedicate to the township I felt I should run for a board seat and get involved.
Our township is poised for a fair amount of growth in the next few years, and I would like to ensure that the residents are properly represented in the decisions of this growth.
Gateway to Pillsbury State Forest
Sylvan Township was organized on April 2, 1912. The Township was named after Sylvan Lake, known for its beautiful evergreen woods. This community of roughly 2900 residents is located in the southern portion of Cass County, west of the City of Baxter and surrounds the City of Pillager. The Township is defined by its many lakes, rivers, agricultural, and wooded areas. Sylvan Township has the largest Native American burial mound groupings in the Mississippi Headwaters and one of the largest within the state of Minnesota.
