Gary Fauskee Memorial golf tournament, BVD Walk-Run (VIDEOS)


The fifth annual Gary Fauskee Memorial golf tournament was held on Saturday of the Bonanza Valley Days weekend in Brooten. Additional coverage was published in the July 13 and July 20 issues of the Bonanza Valley Voice newspaper. In the July 20 issue, a picture of the winning team was published.

*Below is a video of Glenn Miller speaking before the tournament got started that morning at Prairie View Community Golf Course:


Gary Fauskee, a 1976 Brooten high school graduate, was a four-sport student-athlete who quarterbacked the Buccaneers football team in his 11th and 12th grade seasons. He was a full-time starter in the fall of 1975 as a senior under head coach Keith Krebsbach.

The Bonanza Valley Days Walk-Run event had a great turnout with 61 participants this year. The B-B-E Wrestling Club organizes this event each summer, and it was held on Saturday, July 8 near St. Donatus Catholic church in Brooten.

Here's a video recorded at the start of the event:
