The Busy Beehive in Brooten is open today (VIDEOS added)

The Busy Beehive in downtown Brooten is open today from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. While you're out and about going to graduation parties and other events, I encourage you to stop by and check it out! Harmony Sturges, owner, was featured on page one of this week's Bonanza Valley Voice newspaper.

Just this morning I finally got Memorial weekend/Memorial Day pictures uploaded to the newspaper's SmugMug folders...you can find them by clicking here: https://bonanzavalley.smugmug.com/2024-B-B-EBonanza-Valley-area-events.

Additional spring sports albums have been uploaded as well. You can find them here: https://bonanzavalley.smugmug.com/BBE-Spring-Sports-2024.

Here's a video featuring part of the player introductions, including the starters, for the Jaguars before facing Parkers Prairie on Thursday:


Don't forget! Tonight is the Sunburg Fire Department street dance starting at 8 p.m. with Hicktown Mafia playing. Come out and show your support!

**Here's a video from the bottom of the 5th inning against Parkers Prairie...


The Jaguars went into the sixth inning nursing a 6-5 lead. Once the dust settled on eight innings of play, Parkers Prairie had an 11-10 win to their credit that launched them into the state tournament for the first time since 2018.

Time to get back in the garden before heading to Sunburg.

It's not too early to get this on your radar...in fact, it's coming in less than one week. The sixth annual Redhead Creamery Curd Fest is on Saturday, June 15 at their rural Brooten/Padua location. This is from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. They have live music, and you can see a video of one of their Curd Fest 2021 bands below.
