Sparkle night at CHS Field in St. Paul (VIDEOS*)

I still haven't gotten my bearings straight from the past week. Tonight is the first night that I can sit down and actually collect my thoughts in at least a week. On Tuesday night, we traveled to CHS Field in St. Paul for Sparkle Night with the Miss Brooten royalty. All three Miss Brooten royalty are currently involved or were involved in multiple MSHSL-sponsored activities at B-B-E high school. Two of them, Jacey Tensen and Tiyana Schwinghammer, will be seniors this fall at B-B-E. Katelynn Uphus is a 2022 graduate and heading to UND in Grand Forks this fall.

Here's when we arrived at CHS Field!


Other video from that night is uploading and will be added at a future time. Today we were in Glenwood for a good portion of the day. The grand parade was held at 1 p.m., and the parade route was jam packed with people! Katelynn and Jacey are still there with the Little Miss Brooten royalty at the Waterama coronation ceremony along the shores of Lake Minnewaska by Lakeside Ballroom.

Tiyana had to miss the fun in Glenwood, as she had a big basketball tournament to participate in. Exciting: college scouts were on hand to watch her in action!!! Go Tiyana!!!

*Here's a video where you can kind of see the Miss Brooten royalty walking around CHS Field last Tuesday:


It's a lower-quality video shot with a cell phone. My main videocamera died just moments after I entered the stadium. Bravo!

Here's a link to the Bonanza Valley Voice website, where you can watch live music that was played outside CHS Field in St. Paul as we arrived at the stadium: https://bit.ly/3zMG5wt.
