New kindergarten (2010)

The municipal council in Sør-Fron began planning for a restructuring of the local schools in 2009. In December 2010, a decision was made which included one new kindergarten in Harpefoss. Both the deputy mayor and the chair of the living conditions committee (Nynorsk: levekårsutvalet), both from the Labour Party, said that the process had not been optimal in that all information that would be necessary for an informed decision had not been gathered.^[3]

Farm fire (2010)

On the night before Christmas 2010 a fire at a cattle barn killed between 20 and 30 cows. Temperatures close to −30 °C (−22 °F) and the closeness of farmhouse made the job of saving the animals difficult for the fire brigade.^[4]
