A Minnesota woman was is in town Friday to present an award to a couple of area residents who saved her life by administering CPR. Judith Taylor was attending the Red Rock Folk Festival's closing ceremonies in 2009 when she went into cardiac arrest. Nipigon Mayor Richard Harvey and visiting nurse Wendy Houston acted quickly by administering CPR and saved Taylor's life
Taylor, who had a heart condition at the time, says she feels lucky to have been at the festival when she collapsed because individuals trained in first aid were on hand to help.
Harvey says it was fortunate he and Houston could help and adds that learning CPR and first aid is much easier than many people think.
The award was presented at a Superior North Emergency Medical Services dinner on Friday.
