The Vasa Lutheran to Spring Garden Lutheran Church Tractor Parade and Midsommer Festival was blessed with picture perfect weather Sunday. That meant the most tractors in the history of their parade with 105. A relative came all the way from Columbus, Ohio, to drive his brother's tractor in the parade and I had a great time visiting with KDHL listeners from around the area...

I spent Father's Day morning at the Stanton Airfield indulging in delicious Cannon Falls Lions pancakes, sausage and eggs and attending church. The food was very good, especially the sausages from Hampton Meats, and the Lions did a little maneuvering so people didn't have to wait in line in the sun as long and spent most of their line time in the hangar where the food was dished out...

Muhammad Ali was born Cassius Clay Jr. on January 17, 1942, in Louisville, Ken., and, after passing June 3 from complications from Parkinson's at age 74, will be laid to rest in his hometown on Friday, June 10, after a public memorial service...

Tom Thibodeau was introduced Tuesday as the new head coach for the Minnesota Timberwolves. It did not take Wolves owner Glen Taylor long to announce his selection and, upon further review, I think he made the right choice. Of course time will tell, but Taylor's swift action should be a lesson for the University of Minnesota in their marathon search for a new athletic director...

It's been 60 years since Ted Nelson graduated from Faribault High School, and gray skies weren't going to take away from his special day. The track around Bruce Smith Field was officially dedicated Ted Nelson Track during a brief ceremony before a Faribault Falcon boys and girls track meet on Thursday...

The Wolves finished the year winning four of their last five games, including a victory at Golden State, and appeared to be understanding what Mitchell and his assistants have been trying to

The Minnesota Twins will open up the 2016 season Monday like every other major league team opens their season -- with hopes of a playoff berth and run to the World Series. Minnesota came up just short in that dream last season, staying in the hunt for a wildcard spot until the final weekend...

The Faribault Area Senior Center expansion project is progressing nicely, according to organizers. Wednesday night about three dozen people were invited to the Vintage Ballroom in downtown Faribault to learn more about the status of the Celebrating Seniors fundraiser...

Joe Garagiola died today at the age of 90 in Scottsdale, Arizona. While growing up I used to love listening to Joe Garagiola and Tony Kubek on the Game of the Week broadcasts on Saturday afternoons. Admittedly, it was usually a rainy day when I took in the game, because if it was sunny I'd probably be down to the church park or in my backyard playing baseball...

We often call Southeastern Minnesota the hotbed of basketball in the state and two state title holders and a runner-up from the area in the girls state high school basketball tournament helped to solidify that idea. The Goodhue Wildcats are the Class A title holders after being ranked No...
