With the Fourth of July quickly approaching - I thought everyone should know the special offerings our area has for this exciting time of the year.
How does your family celebrate Independence Day? Do you participate in a parade - either on land or lake? Does your family make a commitment to reunite at the lake cabin every Fourth of July? Do you have favorite, traditional recipes you share on this holiday? Do you make it your tradition to try to be top dog in the milk carton boat races in your lake?
Tell us what traditions you and your family follow on the Fourth of July.
For all the young up-coming musicians in the Brainerd Lakes Area the Battle of the Bands is a hot night. This will take place on Don Adamson Field by the Brainerd High School. Along with music there will be food. The contest is from 4-11 PM and is sponsored by Youth As Resources and Community Action. Admission is advance $5, at the gate $8.
Our family will be participating in the Miss Brainerd Lakes Scholarship Pageant on June 30th at 7 PM in Tornstrom Auditorium in Brainerd. I will be helping do whatever, my husband will on the stage crew and our daughter Allison (Miss Brainerd Lakes 2005) will be singing the National Anthem for the opening number. After the crowning , comes the cleaning and the crying- both happy and sad.
