The community of Brooten was glowing on Saturday. Former teacher and mayor Kay Mohr would have been very, very proud.

The day of Saturday, December 10 was crazy busy from start to finish in Brooten.

On Saturday there were visits by Santa Claus in both Belgrade and Brooten, and The Grinch even made a stop at the Brooten Lanes for a period of time that was so remarkable the publisher wrote a column about it on page 8 of the December 15 issue of the Bonanza Valley Voice!

The Brooten lighted Christmas parade was wonderful and included three groups of royalty from Brooten, Belgrade and Starbuck. You can watch the parade in the video included below.
