August Fest (and more) - VIDEOS

There's a lot to get caught up on this week.

Here's a video from the early units of the Belgrade August Fest parade on Saturday:


In this video, you can see the outgoing Belgrade Royal Ambassadors nearing the end of their final parade.

Here's a video featuring a glimpse of the Stearns County Fair last Friday afternoon:


The weather featured sweltering, muggy heat on Friday at the fair. It was pretty gross all day and into the evening.

And back to Belgrade's August Fest...

Here's a video from the Friday night street dance just after Mid Flight began playing:


I heard that the Belgrade VFW had a "pretty good" weekend overall at August Fest. I'll speak a little on their behalf and say "Thank You" to all those who came out and supported the VFW through the chicken feed, Friday's street dance and Saturday's Belgrade Brawl.

'Clean up' mode from summer

I'm still rather heavily buried wrapping up summer projects and getting all my cameras in order for the upcoming fall athletic season.

Action continues tomorrow with a girls' tennis quadrangular at Minnewaska.

The wheels keep turning!

Gruber named Miss Belgrade

Becca Gruber won the Miss Belgrade crown tonight.

Below is the final 17 minutes of the program. About six minutes into the clip, the coronation part of the program begins. The first part of the video shows the 2012-13 Miss Belgrade Royalty saying their formal good-byes.


Thank you to everyone who attended the program. It's very important to keep these parts of the town celebrations going. Also, a huge thank you to the four families who had their daughter enter the Miss Belgrade program. Hats off to you.

Region 15C scores: Spring Hill 4, Richmond 2 and both teams advance to the state tournament. Earlier elimination games: Richmond 11, New London-Spicer 8. Spring Hill 11, New Munich 2.

This sets up a classic Battle for the Keg! Spring Hill squares off with Elrosa at 11:00am on Sunday in Farming. The loser gets the #3 seed to state, while the winner advances to the Region 15C championship game. To get first place, the winner of the 11:00am game has to beat Lake Henry two times.

 By the way, who's ready for some basketball?

B-B-E's wrestling team and both basketball squads open their seasons this Friday!

FYI - tip off for the boys' basketball season opener is 7:30 on Friday night against the West Central Area Knights. WCA is a fellow member of Sub-Section 6A-South and finished 7-18 overall last year (4-12 Prairie Conference) and return three of their top six guys from that team. Their top player is a very talented junior, Dakotah Kashmark, who averaged 15 points per game in 2011-12.

The home wrestling tournament on Friday starts at 2:30pm at the high school.
