Pope County Fair 4-H Tug-of-War + Belgrade August Fest (VIDEOS*)
Before we get buried by county fair, Belgrade August Fest and Region 8C baseball, here's a blog post that will include some coverage of recent local events.
Here's a video from Saturday night last weekend with 4-H kids in a Tug-of-War competition:
The tug-of-war was held by the animal barns at the Pope County Fairgrounds.
In other news...the turnout for tonight's Brooten Farmers Market was strong. My family had our best night of the summer. It was great to see the support from out of town and from Belgrade!
And now to August Fest!
The Belgrade August Fest kicked off tonight. Below is a video I got late in the outdoor concert.
Here's Southern Crossroads performing at the Belgrade city park:
They performed under a mix of clouds and sunshine. Such odd weather we are having! I hope you can get to the Belgrade Fire Department's Chicken BBQ supper on Friday night. They serve at the VFW from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m.!
