Coming here...a web article that outlines the food options for eating in Brooten over the Bonanza Valley Days weekend. There's something to take care of just about every meal you need between Friday and Sunday! Stay tuned! Great apologies from the desk of the newspaper owner! Updating this web article slipped through the cracks in my operation on Friday.

So noble they strive to be, but so absolutely pathetic and lazy they really are. See what I'm talking about in the video below. Maybe it's just me, but perhaps some of that energy and time put into creating signs and marching down the streets could have been put into cleaning up the protest site? What do I know, though? I was raised by parents who would have kicked my butt all over creation if I participated in behavior like that. Winning comment of the day: those kids were raised to be that...
