(VIDEO) Blast from the Past: Brooten Centennial
It's not video that I recorded, but the most incredible video was sent to the Bonanza Valley Voice newspaper office this past winter with highlight reels from July 1986 during the Brooten Centennial celebration.
Here's video of then-Mayor Kay Mohr kicking off the activities with a welcome speech on the west side of Brooten High School by the flag pole.
History is amazing.
And good news! The Bonanza Valley Voice newspaper website is back online. Here's a short link to click on and read about the Thursday and Friday activities for the upcoming Bonanza Valley Days celebration in Brooten, which starts on Thursday, July 8. (Link) https://bit.ly/3xd9EUs.
I'm getting more catch-up work done. One task I chew on as often as I can is uploading photos to the Bonanza Valley Voice SmugMug gallery. A few albums are loaded in the Summer 2021 folder, including some amateur baseball action back in May. Here's that link = https://bit.ly/3qOaftq.
