(VIDEO) BVD Worship in the Park

The Bonanza Valley Days Worship in the Park kicked off the official list of events across the four-day celebration in Brooten. Worship service was held on Thursday, July 11 at the city park with Pastor Rick Krasky preaching. Below is video of the singing and his sermon.


The church service was marvelous! It was "warm" but not terribly warm. The evening was wonderful. We are very blessed here in Brooten.

Today's BVD grand parade was also marvelous. We had upwards of 70 units. The weather was very warm, dangerously warm around 1 o'clock...but then cloud cover appeared and helped immensely.

*Another item...if people still want BVD t-shirts or tank tops, a limited supply is still available. I'll get more posted about that ASAP.

We've had our challenges this weekend. Two major events jumped out at us out of nowhere. One ugly item was last week Thursday, and another vicious, nasty item reared its ugly head last night after building up over the weekend. More to say another time about all that. I will not sugar-coat things. I will be calling it like I see it.

I have a good friend in Morris who bemoans the loss of their town's "Prairie Pioneer Days" - due to apathy their town of 5,000 people, which even has its own branch of the University of Minnesota, has lost its premier summer celebration. That is very sad among many other adjectives.

Back hHere in Brooten, we will fight through every challenge we face. We will overcome!

We will conquer every day here!
