Downtown A.L. events continue to grow

By Sarah Stultz

sarah.stultz@albertleatribune.com

The summer market and music festival that has made a name for itself in downtown Albert Lea since 2012 will return in June, July and August with activities for all.

Wind Down Wednesday is slated for June 19, July 17 and Aug. 14 and, as in years past, will be open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Broadway each of those days.

The goal of the event is to “pull everyone together for one fun day each month to enjoy each other’s company, shop for unique items, eat great food and enjoy some great entertainment,” according to the event website.

In addition to events for children, teens and adults of all ages, Wind Down Wednesday in June honors those with physical and mental disabilities through the theme “Inclusives.”

“The goal is to provide an environment that is supportive, creative, entertaining and enjoyable to everyone,” a press release stated.

The festival is set up like an outdoor market with food, drinks, live entertainment and vendors selling arts and crafts.

Wind Down Wednesday features children’s activities, games, baked goods, farmers market vendors, restaurants, boutiques, crafters, artists and musicians, among others.

Though all entertainment has not been set for the entire summer, June entertainment includes Easy Heart from noon to 1 p.m., Meraki dancers from 5 to 5:30 p.m. and The Only, a Minneapolis band, from 6 to 8 p.m.

The theme for July’s Wind Down Wednesday is “Culture Carnival” and will feature music, dance and entertainment from different cultures represented in Albert Lea, said Sarah Nelson, one of the organizers.

The August theme is still being considered.

Nelson said Tony Cuchetti will return as an entertainer during the August Wind Down Wednesday from 6 to 8 p.m.

She said entertainment will be from a new stage this year similar to the one featured during Hooked on Broadway with the Governor’s Fishing Opener.

There will also be a new sound technician.

Another highlight will be the fun food trucks expected to attend, she said.

For more information about the event, visit www.winddownwednesday.com.

Thursdays on Fountain schedule In its third year, Thursdays on Fountain brings people downtown to Fountain Lake Park once a week, except for the week of the Freeborn County Fair for a chance to enjoy live music while interacting with neighbors, friends and others.

All performances start at 5:30 p.m.

A.L. Community Theatre gears up for “State Fair” family play

By Sarah Kocher

sarah.kocher@albertleatribune.com

Put down your turkey leg. It’s not that kind of state fair.

It’s Iowa.

Albert Lea Community Theatre is preparing for its yearly musical. This year’s selection, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “State Fair,” follows a family headed to the Iowa State Fair in 1946.

Dad, Abel Frake, is hoping his prize hog, Blue Boy, will win big as a livestock entry. Mom, Melissa Frake, is headed for a blue ribbon with her mincemeat.

Their children, Wayne and Margy, find something other than prizes: love on the Midway.

Director Sue Jorgensen said the musical, accompanied by a live pit, is charming, set close to home and family oriented.

“The stories have different arcs and they’re nice and they’re, they’re wholesome,” Jorgensen said. “... They’re good stories.”

What especially appealed to the director is the character development.

“Everything that is character-driven is so exciting to me to watch, to read,

experience, and this is all about the characters,” Jorgensen said.

Melissa Tovar-Griffith, who plays Melissa Frake, said the audience can expect a lot of laughs, fun and a lot of singing.

“It has a love story in it and it has humor and it just, it’s extremely entertaining,” she said.

Additionally, the show pulls from a common tradition for many Minnesota families.

“People go to the (state) fair,” Jorgensen said. “That’s an annual trek for a lot of families.”

The show is also a family one in another way: The 40-person cast is full of relatives, Jorgensen said.

Tovar-Griffith and her 10-year-old daughter, Selah, are two such performers. Tovar-Griffith said she tried out for “State Fair” because her daughter wanted to try out but was nervous to do so alone. Now, it is something they are doing together.

“Not only is it a family show to come and watch, it’s a family show to put on,” Jorgensen said. “... It’s a real family production, which is what, I think, community theater is all about.”

What else is happening at Marion Ross Performing Arts Center this summer?

July 11-13, 17-20, 7:30 p.m.

July 14, 2 p.m.

“State Fair”

Cross the border — to Iowa — to follow the Frake family to the fair. In 1946, the family leaves for a week together spent in judging contests, livestock barns, mincemeat competitions and on the Midway. Prepare for a Rodgers and Hammerstein musical aimed for the whole family. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for students.

July 25, 7 p.m The Story Show

Local storytellers take to the stage to share performances centered around the theme “Light My Fire.” Proceeds go to the Orrie Jirele Scholarship Fund.

Community members will write stories around the theme and read those stories aloud to the audience. Tickets are $15 for adults and $5 for students.

July 26, 7:30 p.m.

A Hard Day’s Night — Beatles Tribute

Hear live your favorite Beatles hits

from the heyday of the ’60s. Beatles tribute band A Hard Day’s Night goes for the look as well as the sound, with authentic instruments and costumes.

Tickets are $20.

Aug. 13, 7:30 p.m.

The Everly Brothers Experience featuring the Zmed Brothers

A pair of brothers is out to put the legacy of two other brothers back in the limelight. Brothers Zachary and Dylan Zmed pay tribute to the Everly Brothers music from the ’50s and ’60s.

The show is intended not as an imitation but an homage to the Everly sound.

Tickets are $25.

Aug. 22, 7:30 p.m.

Bobby Flores — ”Tru-Country”

A 2003 Grammy Award winner, Bobby Flores, brings classic country flavor to Marion Ross Performing Arts Center. Flores is a fiddle player vocalist, producer, composer and multi-instrumentalist. Prepare for traditional country and western swing. Tickets are $20.

Harmony Park features some new, some old events for the summer June 21-23: Project Earth Looking for a soundtrack to get back in touch with Mother Nature? According to its website, Project Earth is “an experimental convergence between a music concert, a rainbow gathering, eco village and social justice alchemy.”

The festival is billed as interactive with two nights of music. Proceeds from the event go toward supporting international relief charities. Expect some one-of-akind spontaneous collaborations between performers. Families are welcome, and children 15 and under can enter for free.

July 11-13: Infrasound Festival While it is Infrasound’s eighth year as a festival, it is its first at Harmony Park.

The underground electronic festival’s lineup is still to be announced.

July 24-29: CampFire Retreat

For flow and movement artists, the CampFire retreat is a place to show off skills as well as learn more for three nights and two full days. There will be workshops for flow, aerial, yoga, acro and circus performers as well as music, fire circles, firewalking and equipment vendors. No pets.

Aug. 29-Sept. 1: Shangri La Prepare for returners and new performers to Shangri La, a three-day festival with a pre-party and over 30 musical groups. Some performers include Wookiefoot, Nahko and Medicine for the People, The Movement, Ayla Nereo, Linear Symmetry, Spectacle and Yaima.

More acts are to be announced.

Oct. 4-6: Oaktoberfest It may sound reminiscent of beer celebrations, but Oaktoberfest is another weekend of music at Harmony Park.

Genres lean toward bluegrass, jam, country and rock ‘n’ roll.

A MIX OF ENTERTAINMENT PLANNED AT

FREEBORN COUNTY FAIR

LANCO, a country group known for current single, “Greatest Love Story,” will perform at the Freeborn County Fair Aug. 3. PROVIDED

Grandstand entertainers include mix of country, ’80s and Christian music

By Sarah Kocher and Sarah Stultz news@albertleatribune.com

The Freeborn County Fair’s five nights of concerts bookends the week in country musicians and fills the middle with ’80s music and a big name in Christian music.

The grandstand lineup will feature Ashley McBryde, the Roots and Boots Tour, Hairball, Casting Crowns and LANCO.

July 30: Ashley McBryde

Ashley McBryde is one of country’s newest darlings, listed by Rolling Stone as one of the artists you need to know.

Raised in Arkansas, McBryde started sharing her voice more widely during college, later moving on to the Nashville bar beat before releasing her EP, “Jalopies and Expensive Guitars,” according to her website.

McBryde comes to the Freeborn County Fair fresh off a 2018 album with Grammynominated “Girl Goin’ Nowhere” up for Best

Country Album. Her country music doesn’t shy away from rock and folk influences.

July 31: Roots and Boots Tour

Three ’90s country artists all with hits of their own team up with a full band to bring the Roots and Boots Tour to life. Sammy Kershaw, with three platinum albums in his list of 16 albums and a 2010 induction into the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame, is known for No. 1 hits “She Don’t Know She’s Beautiful” and “Love of My Life.”

He is joined by Country Music Awards and Academy of Country Music 10-time male vocalist of the year nominee Collin Raye, who is known for ’90s Billboard No. 1 hits “Love Me,” “In This Life,” “My Kind of Girl” and “I Can Still Feel You,” among others.

Aaron Tippin finishes off the trio with genre favorites “There Ain’t Nothin’ Wrong with the Radio,” “That’s as Close as I’ll Get See FAIR, Page 14

Casting Crowns comes together to perform while band members continue to serve in various roles in their own churches.

It is this lifeline to the church that allows them to continue writing relevant music based on real-life experiences and conversations, front man Mark Hall said in a press release. With the release of

“Every Little Thing,” Casting Crowns surpassed 10 million album sales in 2016. The group continues to add to an already-large discography that over the years has featured genre favorites “Voice of Truth,” “Who Am I,” “East to See FAIR, Page 21

Albert Lea’s splash pad ready for another year

By Sarah Kocher

sarah.kocher@albertleatribune.com

After a long winter, more than the fountains on the lake are back in operation.

The splash pad, located at the intersection of South Broadway Avenue and West Fountain Street and which had its inaugural full summer last year, is open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily throughout the season.

Phil Wacholz, the city’s assistant director of public works, said subjective staff observations of splash pad use last year were positive, even at non-peak times.

“We just know that it seems to be enjoyed by multiple families at a time,” Wacholz said. “... On busy weekends we’ve seen as many as 80 people up there at one time.”

Additionally, he said the city was pleased with how respectful visitors to the splash pad were of the space.

The splash pad closing date is dependent on the forecast, though Wacholz said he expected the latest it would stay open is the end of October.

Wacholz said the city is looking for future projects to better the splash pad.

Opportunities for fundraising and completing additional projects in its vicinity will be shared with the public.

“We look forward to many years of good use,” Wacholz said.

PELICAN BREEZE BOAT GETS UPDATED ACCOMODATIONS

By Sarah Kocher

sarah.kocher@albertleatribune.com

For those who would like to get out on Albert Lea Lake, there’s a boat for that.

The Pelican Breeze II will once again offer public and private tours on its 50-person pontoon throughout the summer.

This year, the boat has been given a new coat of paint, new lettering, new floor, new chairs and new tables. The tables have an updated map provided by the Shell Rock River Watershed District, Pelican Breeze reservationist Verlaine Williams said.

“It has really been spruced up,” Williams said.

Last year was a banner year for the Pelican Breeze, Williams said, with a

record number of visitors due to family and class reunions, bridal showers and work groups.

While private cruises tend to be more social, public cruises are more informational in structure, Gail Levorson said. Of the public cruises, she said those hosted by Hartland-based humorist and naturalist Al Batt are the popular ones.

“Al Batt provides a lot of information about a variety of things when you’re on with him,” Levorson said.

Public cruises last about an hour and a half and occur at 6 p.m. every Friday and 1:30 p.m. every Sunday.

While in previous years a reservation was required, now reservations are only needed for cruises with Al Batt. These cruises occur monthly and finish with a fall tour.

The Pelican Breeze also offers a Fourth of July cruise from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Public cruises cost $10 per person.

Visitors can bring their own food and beverages. Cruises leave from Frank Hall Park.

Special cruises June 23: Al Batt cruise, 1:30 p.m.

July 4: Fourth of July tour, 6 to 7:30 p.m.

July 28: Al Batt cruise, 1:30 p.m.

Aug. 25: Al Batt cruise, 1:30 p.m.

Sept. 29: Fall into fall tour with Al Batt, 4 p.m.

Regular cruises 6 p.m. every Friday 11:30 a.m. every Sunday

The Bayside Ski Team will return to Edgewater Bay for another season of tricks on the water.

Shows are scheduled for Thursday nights at 6:30 p.m. on Edgewater Bay. Tentatively, the team expects to begin performing June 13.

This year’s show is Charlie Brown-themed.

Show manager Ike Dulas said he tried to take pieces from beloved Charlie Brown movies, such as “A Charlie Brown Christmas” and “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.”

“We’re looking to have a great year,” Dulas said.

The ski team will also perform at 1 p.m. on the Fourth of July and 1 p.m. on Labor Day. The Labor Day show will be their last of the season.

Shows occur depending on weather conditions.

Country music group LANCO entered the genre with a strong debut, earning nominations at all of country’s biggest awards nights as well as the American Music Awards.

They are the only country band to achieve a platinum single — “Greatest Love Story” — prior to a debut album release, according to a press release.

LANCO is in the midst of its first headline run after debuting the group’s “Hallelujah Nights” album in January.

What’s new this year at the fair?

Woitas said this year at the fair there will be all new aluminum seating in the Grandstand with handrails from bottom to top.

Vendors will return to selling their wares underneath the Grandstand after recent renovations.

Hairball will take the audience on a trip down ’80s memory lane.

Hypnotist Steve Bayner is expected to come back for entertainment for fairgoers, and new this year there will be a timber show, where people can learn how to log roll and watch chainsaw artists transform wood into new creations.

New this year, people can park at the Albert Lea High School parking lot and be bused to the fairgrounds.

Woitas said he and the fair board are already working on different avenues to get people in and out of the fairgrounds for when the Bridge Avenue construction is happening in 2020.

After its inaugural year brought more than double the turnout organizers were hoping for, Rock ‘n’ Roll the Lakes will return for another ride.

Albert Lea Parks and Recreation director and event committee co-chairman Bob Furland said last year, Rock ‘n’ Roll the Lakes had approximately 260 riders.

“All the feedback we got was that we knocked it out of the park,” fellow cochairman Jeff Englin said.

The biggest change this year is an additional ride the evening before the official event. On July 12, riders can meet in the North Broadway parking lot at dusk to participate in a moonlight ride around Fountain Lake.

“Cover your bike or your person with glow sticks and Christmas tree lights and whatever you got and let’s go ride,” Englin said.

Otherwise, the July 13 event will undergo slight changes. This year’s ride will look similar to the previous, with three routes: 10-, 25- to 30- and 50-mile

FREE IN-HOME ESTIMATE

rides, though the mid-length route will change course slightly due to construction. Englin said many riders last year did multiple routes.

Ride support that ended at 1 p.m. last year will be extended to 3 p.m. There will be more stations and more restrooms.

There will also be a larger celebration when riders end their routes, with a band in Fountain Lake Park until 3 p.m.

Englin said the ride is designed to promote safe cycling, but also to bring people into town. A survey of last year’s cyclists showed that 68% came from out of town.

“That tourism aspect was high,” he said.

Rock ‘n’ Roll the Lakes is run in collaboration with the Bicycle Alliance of Minnesota, which Englin said brings ride coordination expertise to the table thanks to its work with other large bicycle events like the Mankato River Ramble and St. Paul Classic Bike Tour.

Kickoff with a ribbon-cutting start begins at 8 a.m. July 13, though riders can begin anytime between 8 and 10 a.m.

Online registration is open. The ride is a fundraiser for trail development.

The 11th annual Shinefest Tractor Ride will take place in July as a fundraiser for the Shinefest week of service.

The tractor ride is slated for July 20 and will start and finish at the Freeborn County Fairgrounds, said organizer Mark Light.

The day begins with breakfast served at 7:30 a.m. at the Fairlane Building at the fairgrounds. The meal is open to the public for a freewill offering, as well as participants registered for the ride.

Tractors will leave out of the north exit of the fairgrounds onto Richway Drive around 9 a.m. and will drive past all of the nursing homes and care facilities in Albert Lea before leaving the city.

Light said the ride will stop at Round Prairie Lutheran Church for lunch, and then to Myrtle and Hayward before coming back in Albert Lea on South Shore Drive around Albert Lea Lake by

5 p.m. for a supper meal at the Fairlane Building for participants.

Cost to participate is $45, which includes the breakfast, lunch and dinner meals and the ride.

Light said last year the event had 70 tractors and includes not only local tractor enthusiasts but some from Iowa and Wisconsin as well. He said one father and son participate from Summerset, Wisconsin, who used to live east of Clarks Grove.

“It’s a really fun way to spend a day,” he said.

Light said even if people don’t want to participate on a tractor themselves, a lot of people have fun sitting on the side of the road and waiting for the tractors to come by.

The Shinefest organization is made up of churches throughout Freeborn County that have gotten together to pull their resources to benefit the community.

In May, this year’s week of service included work at homes near Bellview Park in Albert Lea.

RAIN BARRELS

People looking for a way to save money on their utility bill can purchase a rain barrel from Shell Rock River Watershed District for

$67.10

WHY USE RAIN BARRELS? Rain barrels are an efficient, convenient way of trapping the runoff from your roof and storing it in a 55-gallon barrel. Each barrel comes with a spigot on the bottom and overflow hose to hook up multiple barrels. They hold roughly up to 55 gallons of rainwater, for distributing water around your yard. Diverting water from storm drains also decreases the effect of runoff on the watershed’s rivers and streams.

and a reliable source for local, state and national news.

Residents of the Shell Rock River Watershed District are eligible for a $10 Rebate. Rebate forms are available at the SRRWD office - 214 West Main St., Albert Lea. For more information: 507.377.5785 or www.shellrock.org or connie.enestvedl@co.freeborn.mn.us

The Albert Lea Lakers will report to town for their third straight season starting at the end of May. First-year head coach Nate DeChaine takes over with the tall task of attempting to repeat as not only the Pioneer League postseason champions, but as the regular season champions as well.

It won’t be an easy feat, but DeChaine has some big signings coming in to help him this year. Among those signings are 2018 favorites Jesse Bloom and Thomas Krause. Bloom, a Colorado native and sophomore at McCook Community College, and Krause, a Rochester native and freshman at North Dakota State, were both big parts of the Lakers’ success last season. Bloom was a phenom on the mound, while Krause was a presence at the plate.

The duo will be joined by a host of new faces this summer, including players from all over the country. Colorado, Arizona, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Iowa are just a few of the states that will be represented on the Lakers roster this summer.

While some players may be traveling across the United States to be on the team, at least one will be from within the Albert Lea Tribune’s cov-

PoPular Golf tournamEnts to rEturn By tyler Julson

tyler.julson@albertleatribune.com

Three area golf tournaments make their return this summer as local residents gear up for their favorite tournaments.

The first big tournament of the year is the Corey Goodnature Memorial Golf Tournament on June 29 at Green Lea Golf Course. This year marks the 14th annual outing set up to remember Corey Goodnature, who was killed while performing a rescue mission in Afghanistan on June 28, 2005.

The event draws many of Goodnature’s family and friends back to the Albert Lea area to remember the fallen hero.

All proceeds from the tournament go toward the Corey Goodnature Memorial Scholarship Fund, which has awarded over $215,000 to area students since its inception.

The 44th annual Sparky Dan Kruse Memorial Tournament is the next on the schedule, taking place July 11 at Wedgewood Cove Golf Course.

This tournament always brings in a big crowd and is sure to be a day of fun for all golfers.

Hosted by the LIFE Center of Freeborn County, the event raises money for people with developmental disabilities in Freeborn County. The LIFE Center aims to advocate passionately while compassionately delivering programs that expand opportunities, empower people and enrich lives while having fun.

The final tournament of the summer is the Shortstop Tournament, which starts Aug. 31 at Green Lea Golf Course. This three-day event is not for the weak at heart. Starting with 18 qualifying holes Saturday, players are then split into different flights and play nine-hole match play events Sunday and Monday.

Dan Buhs tees off at Green Lea Golf Course during the Corey Goodnature Memorial Golf Classic in 2015. CollEEN HaRRIsoN/ albERt lEa tRIbUNE The event draws some of the very best golfers from around the Midwest and always comes down to a tight race.

In last year’s event, Sam Hallman and Brent Miller went into a nail-biting playoff to determine the champion. Hallman came out the victor, defeating the fivetime tournament champion. The event is sure to be just as exciting this year, as Miller comes back for his shot at redemption.

LAKE MILLS TO CELEBRATE 150TH YEAR WITH EXPANDED FUN AT JULY JUBILEE

By Sarah Stultz

sarah.stultz@albertleatribune.com

July Jubilee organizers in Lake Mills are hoping to make the festival bigger than ever this year in celebration of the city’s sesquicentennial year.

Cassie Johnson, executive director of the Lake Mills Chamber Development Corporation, said people can expect many of the same festivities as in years past — but they should expect those events to be elevated to make them even more fun.

“We encourage people to come celebrate Lake Mills with us,” Johnson said. “See what we have to offer, and enjoy the weekend with family and friends.”

Organizers have met to plan the festivities since last summer and have conducted several fundraisers since, including trivia nights at 5 Alarm Brewing Co. in Lake Mills and selling merchandise.

Events kick off July 11 with a bridal

WELLS PREPARES FOR KERNEL DAYS; MANY SAME ACTIVITIES COMING BACK

By Kelly Wassenberg

kelly.wassenberg@albertleatribune.com

The Wells Kernel Days committee has released a tentative schedule for this year’s celebration, which includes a scheduling change for one popular event and a surprise for those looking for free family entertainment.

The celebration will run from Aug. 15 to Aug. 18 and will closely mirror the schedule from years past.

Events will begin Aug. 15 with the library foundation luncheon from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The Little Miss Kernel Days program is slated for later that evening at United South Central.

On Aug. 16, CCF Bank will host its annual hot dog lunch in the bank parking lot. Bevcomm will serve root beer floats, as well. Vendors, activities and entertainment will begin at Half Moon Park in the evening prior to the fireworks display at 9:30 p.m.

Activities, including giant inflatables, softball and volleyball tournaments, bingo and a petting zoo will be open throughout Aug. 17 and Aug. 18 at Half Moon Park. Unlike in years past, this year children will not need wristbands to enjoy the giant inflatables, as they will be open to all free of charge.

Wells Depot Museum will also have extended hours over the weekend.

The big change this year has to do with an attraction more geared to adults.

According to Wells Kernel Days committee member Ryan Feist, the annual Maple Valley Classic Car Show will be a week prior to the celebration. Feist said he was told the group would really like to have 150 automobiles take part in the show in honor of Wells’ 150th anniversary. After the car show, the Wells

Morin Lake Days to feature bed races by Alden Area Lions Club Schedule

By Sarah Kocher

sarah.kocher@albertleatribune.com

Morin Lake Days enters its third decade celebrating Alden and plans to commemorate other community milestones with both first-time and returning events.

In addition to the 30th anniversary of Morin Lake Days, 2019 is also Alden’s 140th birthday and marks 128 years of the Alden Advance. Because of its long-standing presence in the community, several representatives from the newspaper will also serve as the parade’s grand marshals.

A former Alden Advance owner and writer will also return to town for Morin Lake Days for a potential book signing of his “A Shiver Runs Through It,” a collection of short stories about surviving Minnesota winters. Morin Lake Days organizer Ann Bryson said they hope to have the book signing during the ice cream social at 5 p.m. June 15.

Bryson said the book seemed particularly fitting this year.

“We just thought with the polar vortex that we had this year, that was just a hoot,” Bryson said.

In addition to Alden’s Amazing Race, new this year to Morin Lake Days are the bed races run by the Alden Area Lions Club. Lions Club President Greg Hitchcock said he stumbled on the phenomenon while searching the web.

“I wanted to have something new and exciting,” Hitchcock said.

In previous years, the Lions Club hosted softball tournaments, which Hitchcock said died off. Last year, they helped host a fire department tournament. Bryson said another community will host the tournament this year.

Instead, he formed a competition around the Great Knaresborough Bed Race, which occurs yearly in North Yorkshire, England.

“I wanted to get something that the

Caleb Mattson, 3, of Alden pleads with his father, Chad Mattson, to let him throw one fish back in himself at the fishing contest on Morin Lake during a previous year for the festival. KELLY WASSENBERG/ALBERT LEA TRIBUNE Lions Club could do that would make kind of a fun time,” Hitchcock said.

This year, participants will be expected to push either a regular bed frame or a built frame — with a mattress or a box spring on it — for a block, a shorter distance chosen for the pilot year.

“We have no idea how people are going to hold up,” he said.

Teams of six — one person on the bed, four pushing from each corner and a captain/alternate — will race against each other in a timed event.

The team with the fastest time will win $300, while second place will take home $200.

Teams can also decorate their beds, with the best decorated claiming a $100 prize.

Hitchcock said he hopes the Lions Club can host the bed race every year.

For 2019, they plan to cap entries at 50

beds. He expects about 15 to 20 beds in the first year and more after people see what it is.

“Once we do one, it’s a pretty fun event and it will grow very rapidly,” Hitchcock said.

Different-sized beds — from twin up — will be treated equally. This year’s event is for participants 18 and up, but Hitchcock said the Lions Club is already planning a junior and adult class for next year. The entry fee is $100 per team.

The American Cancer Society’s Freeborn County Relay for Life will be June 21 along North Broadway Avenue in Albert Lea. According to the event’s website, Relay For Life is the world’s largest fundraising event to end cancer and has the most impact.

The event runs from 5 to 11 p.m., starting with an opening ceremony.

The opening ceremony is meant to bring everyone together for a highenergy event kickoff to celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer, to inspire hope by sharing recent accomplishments and progress, and to remind everyone that fighting cancer is a year-round priority, according to the American Cancer Society. The opening ceremony is typically when chosen honored survivors speak to those in attendance.

A survivors and caregivers walk will follow the opening ceremony. Survivors and caregivers are cheered on by the other participants, celebrating their victory over cancer and honoring anyone who ever cared for someone with cancer.

6:00am-11:00pm HOURS: Mon.-Sat. Dinners 5:00pm-9:00pm

Next is a luminaria ceremony that honors people who currently have cancer, those who have fought it in the past and those whose lives have been lost because of it.

The closing ceremony will finish off the night. Closing ceremonies at the

event are meant as a way to commit to take action and help lead the fight for a world free from cancer. It’s a time to celebrate what has been accomplished together and a time to unify for the work that needs to be done moving forward.
