FOREST LAKE — The need for speed is set to draw up to 5,000 spectators and some of the nation's top powerboat racers to Lakeside Park the weekend of Sept. 12. If they don't blink, attendees can expect to see entrants zipping around the lake on a quarter-mile buoy-marked course at speeds of up to 130 mph. The Fifth Annual Ron Baker Senior Memorial Regatta, a national competition organized by the Twin City Power Boat Association and sponsored by local businesses, starts at noon each day, rain or shine. The final races Sunday culminate with the crowning of American
Power Boat Association national champions in two of seven classes (Formula 150 and Modified Unlimited) which range from novice to best-ofthe-professionals. Some $6,000 in prize money is at stake. The expertise of the top drivers is great fun to observe, said TCPBA Commodore Brian Tabara, and spectators can sit in the park, listen to live commentary and enjoy food from several concessionaires while taking in the action. Those wishing to watch via their own boats are also welcome, he said, and it's not uncommon for races to draw a spectator flotilla of 20 other vessels. The race is named after late Forest Lake resident Ron
Baker, a TCPBA member who worked for several outboard and boat manufacturers and promoted local boat racing dating back to the 1950s. A highlight, Tabara said, is the modified Le Mans-style race starts in which contestants line up their boats at the beach, then accelerate from 0 to 100 mph in some 3.5 seconds once the flag goes up. “It's a nice day at the lake watching competitors at their craft — some of the best in the world and in the country,” he noted. About 35 of the racers participating are based in Minnesota, he said, while 15 come from out of state or from Canada or Puerto
Rico. The format of the race is so professional experts in safety and technical standards are flown in to examine the course and the boats; they even dissemble each motor to ensure no racer has an unfair advantage and “make sure everyone feels good it's a straight-up race.” The event marks the second-to-last of the TWPBA's 2015 races, with the final event in Superior, Wisconsin Sept 19-20. Describing the action on site will be well-known Golden Gophers hockey announcer Wally Shaver along with U.S. and world champion racer Chris Bush.

Forest Lake Historical Society
Early Forest Lake attracted vacationers
BY JEANNE CAINE Forest Lake was a popular resort town in the late 1800s. Just a short train trip north to Forest Lake, then a dusty, bumpy ride in a horse-drawn carriage, brought visitors to the beautiful 75-room Marsh Hotel. The train stopped at the corner that now house's Rueb's Tire Shop. Imagine a family traveling up north "to the lake" dressed in their heavy, scratchy garments, ladies with long skirts and gents with their tight collars — no shorts or T-shirts or flip- flop shoes. This hotel was elegant ,with picnic grounds and croquet courts on lush green lawns all overlooking sparkling blue Forest Lake. For $1.50 a family could rent a rowboat for the day, or pay extra for a man to row them. Adding to all the hotel's excitement was the Germania, a large steamboat tied up at the stone jetty on the shore right in front of the hotel. The Marsh was so popular that many famous people were guests. Among distinguished visitors were President Grover Cleveland and President William McKinley. The first entry in the register in June of 1888 showed visitors from as far away as France, India and China. I am trying to guess how long their steamship rides to the U.S. were and how costly they might have been. The trip would have been for those my grandma called "well heeled" or wealthy. The owner of the hotel was Captain Michael Marsh. When the railroad came in 1868, Forest Lake established a U.S. Post Office and he was the first postmaster (the post office was, of course, located in the hotel). His progressive ideas are credited with making Forest Lake a favorite resort town. The hotel is now a lovely two-story home on North Shore Drive owned by my friends Jack and Pat Henderson. Jack tells me when he went to remodel the large wooden bookcases, he

uncovered numerous bullet holes. Rumor says the infamous Ma Barker and her gangster bunch were frequent in-hiding guests. Thank you ,Jack , for sharing some history and secrets of the old hotel. Around the same year H.D. Gurney built a summer hotel just down the way and added something new to resort living —rental cottages. His hotel boasted sailboats and rowboats and beautiful grassy picnic grounds by the lake. The Euclid Hotel was built across from Mattson's Funeral Home and beautiful Forest Lake. The Euclid was large enough to offer the employment so dearly needed in the area by hiring locals as kitchen helpers, chamber maids and groundskeepers. Later came the fashionable Forest Home Hotel, the Forest View and the Hotel Vaxjo.
Sometimes I think I was born in wrong era. I would not mind a long dress with a big floppy sun hat, riding in a train and having someone cook for me. Forest Lake has such a rich ,family -orientated history I can't wait to learn more. As a Forest Lake resident and the proud vice-president of the Forest Lake Area Historical Society, I am on a mission to learn more about this wonderful city my grandchildren are thriving in.

WEAR YOUR HELMET Skateboarding was a dream come true for me. I remember my first ride on my brother’s skateboard. The short narrow yellow board was nearly impossible to ride. As the younger brother, I always wanted to do what he could and wanted to hang out with him and his friends. So at that point, my new goal was to save up for a skateboard. Back then Hi Tempo ski and sail shop

Building of Minnesota Loop Trail starts in Stillwater STILLWATER — Construction of the 4.7-mile Minnesota Loop Trail (part of the St. Croix Crossing project) is underway by contractor Veit, which is now securing a historic wall and removing trees and vegetation to create the bike and pedestrian path. Construction takes place in phases from now through 2017, currently focusing on the stretch north of Sunnyside Marina to north of Nelson Street in downtown Stillwater. Sections will be open for use ASAP. Eventually the trail will extend onto the new St. Croix Crossing and Stillwater Lift Bridge and into Wisconsin.

graphics my mom would approve of. The Gullwing trucks and OJ wheels were awesome. The day came when I bought it, put it together and started riding. While I practiced for hours every day during my elementary school years, I hadn’t anticipated that my dream of owning a skateboard would lead to four days at St. John’s Hospital with road rash, a skull fracture and a concussion. I was lucky that I didn’t have permanent damage, though some say it’s debatable. Back then, we didn’t think about wearing a helmet for biking, rollerblading or skateboarding, and it wasn’t on the radar of our parents, either. Those activities were a rite of passage for kids. We built launch ramps, quarter pipes and tried to railside on any curb we found, never thinking about how close we were to a head injury. Today, I get chills when I see a kid on a skateboard, razor, rollerblades, electric scooter or bike without a helmet. And it’s surprising how often helmet-less kids are riding along busy roads or sidewalks. I know kids don’t like to wear helmets – I didn’t like it, and my kids often complain about it. Given their own discretion, kids go out riding and ‘forget’ to wear their helmet. As parents, we can remind them that today’s helmets are much more comfortable and trendy than when we were kids. Most importantly, we need to enforce the rule of wearing a helmet, and impose consequences if they don’t. We also need to model the behavior we want them to follow, which means wearing a helmet ourselves. Though we bought helmets for our kids along with

WADE WEBER BUY AMERICAN MAX ANDERSON
LINWOOD TOWNSHIP — The immigration panic of Donald Trump is pulling the other GOP candidates further and further to the far right. Rounding up 11 million people and deporting them sounds like a costly endeavor. Adding to that cost is the fact many of these people work in jobs that are in agriculture, food services in restaurants, home services and other jobs most Americans won’t do because of the hard work at low pay. So after they run off all these hardworking folks doing these jobs, I believe we will see prices at the many business using these workers dramatically rise, and many closing up because of lack of unskilled people willing to work. I also think much of the fruit and vegetable farming will move offshore, as manufacturing jobs did over the last 30 years to take advantage of low-cost labor
no longer available. If you think it’s not possible, think again and take a look at any big box store where 90-plus percent of manufactured goods are made offshore. That latest action will now offshore our food supply also. Who to blame? Not the politicians. Look in the mirror: consumers of this country buy all this imported stuff and make a conscious effort to do so. Consumers drive the economy and are the main exporter of jobs from our country, through their shopping habits, kind of like self-abuse. Stupid or ignorant, those who shop foreign-made without regard for America are the real job killers.
AGAIN, UNBELIEVABLE FLORENCE DANINGER
FOREST LAKE — Those of us living through the 30s and 40s were shocked in late WWII to learn what had taken place, paid for by the
Nazi government. Again, now, presented via more speedy media/communications, word is out that our own government, your and my tax monies, are funding Planned Parenthood; $542 million in 2011 alone. Lives taken by Planned Parenthood in 2011: one little one/baby/unborn child every 96 seconds. Ninetytwo percent of Planned Parenthood services were abortions. Adoption referrals accounted for only 0.6 percent. Why are we allowing this? What is your knowledge of Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood?

She said she did not point to
noise, lead and parking concerns in her public comment. Because the city does not have gun ordinances, she said, gun ranges are compared in use to hair salons, bowling alleys and roller rinks, which she feels is inappropriate. Siess shared Chanhassen’s shooting range ordinance with the council and said if it were in place in Stillwater, a shooting range would not be considered due to its proximity to liquor establishments.

Washington County
‘Board’ of jail, makes
violent inmate getaway
Historical Society Our community has had several jails and prisons since the 1840s. Most inmates have stayed put. Some have not. In 1894 at the Washington County Jail on Stillwater's “Zion’s Hill,� an inmate jailed for passing a $10 bad check decided he didn’t like the walls and made his escape. A story in the Stillwater Gazette sums up the details of the daring escape pretty well: “F.L. Davis, who has been confined in the county jail since January 17, 1894 charged with uttering a forged check, made his escape last evening at a few minutes past 6 o’clock. Deputy [Izzy] Fazendin had just taken the other prisoners their supper, while Davis, who complained of being indisposed, was in the corridor. He incidentally suggested to the deputy that a slop pail standing there in the corridor ought to be taken out and dumped. Fazendin

saw the force of the remark and, stooping down to pick up the pail, suddenly forgot all about the pail as well as other sublunary things. “Three or four minutes later he awoke from his unconscious condition and found he had been lying in the corridor of the jail, and also discovered that blood was trickling down the side
of his head, proceeding from an ugly gash which cut through the scalp, but doing not serious damage. He staggered toward the door, only to find the inner door shut and fastened on the side farthest from him, and entirely out of his reach. He pounded on the door leading to the sheriff’s residence and was soon released by Mrs. Smith[wife of Sheriff Granvill Smith]. “He then discovered that prisoner Davis had gone away, and a piece of board laying on the floor indicated how and by what
means he had been done up. Davis had suggested the removal of the pail and when Fazendin stooped to get it he fetched him a blow over the head that rendered him temporarily unconscious. The reason for the strip of board being there is that the prisoners claimed they needed strips of pine with which to light their pipes, pushing them through the interstices of their cells and igniting them at the gas jets. “Davis, after knocking down the deputy, stepped out into the sheriff’s of-

WYOMING —Thanks to a $695,000 grant from the state's Job Creation Fund, Polaris Industries Inc. plans a $5.78 million expansion of its research and development facility in Wyoming that will add 90 jobs. The jobs are expected to pay an average of $36.02 per hour, according to a press release. The Medina-based manufacturer of snowmobiles and off-road vehicles was one of four Minnesota company benefiting from $2.37 million from the Job Creation Fund, DEED announced yesterday. The others are Prime Therapeutics in Mendota Heights, Fast Manufacturing Inc. in Windom and Ability Network Inc. in Minneapolis. The four will collectively generate 525 new jobs and invest more than $16 million in expansions. The Wyoming City Council approved a resolution last month supporting the fund application.

its emissions lab in relation to increased regulatory requirements, with construction to get underway as soon as possible. “The Job Creation Fund projects awarded today are a fantastic representation of companies in all parts of the state that are utilizing this program to make new investments and build their workforce,” said DEED Commissioner Katie Clark Sieben. “The combined total
of 525 new jobs in a variety of industries will benefit communities in Greater Minnesota, as well as the Metropolitan area.” The Job Creation Fund first proposed by Gov. Mark Dayton in 2013 is a payfor-performance program that provides funding to businesses after they meet certain criteria, including minimum requirements for job creation and private investments. Under the pro-
gram, businesses must create at least 10 full-time jobs and invest at least $500,000 to be eligible for financial assistance.

Ponies get past Raiders 17-7 ROSEVILLE — The Stillwater football crew evened its record at 1-1 for the season at Roseville Friday night. The Ponies prevailed despite a big advantage in total yards by the host Raiders in a 17-7 triumph. They used a pair of touchdowns in the second quarter and a 40-yard third-quarter field goal by A.J. Laudet to fuel the win. Roseville quarterback Henry Benson was 22 for 33 passing for 193 yards, but also had a pass picked off. He scored its lone touch-
down on a 1-yard run with 3:32 left in the game. Stillwater quarterback Mutt Hoefferle hooked up with wide receiver Joey Costa for a 46-yard scoring pass at the 9:04 mark of the second quarter. The Ponies bumped their lead to 14-0 when Hoefferle bulled in from 1 yard out less than 3 minutes later. Stillwater visits CretinDerham Hall Thursday night. Cretin is also 1-1 for the season after falling to Woodbury last week. -Mark Aguirre

Prince Eiden
BY MARK AGUIRRE Contributing Writer
WHITE BEAR —Forest Lake got another huge game from running back Prince Eiden, but it wasn't enough to overcome rival White Bear Lake Friday night. Bear quarterback Carter Kaun had a pinpoint evening passing the football, and also got down and dirty with a trio of short touchdown runs in a convincing 43-23 triumph. Kaun was 8 for 11 passing for 87 yards and a fourthquarter touchdown to Rasaan Brakes that cemented the win, but it was wide receiver Brakes who may have completed the most important pass of the contest. Brakes hooked up with Sam Broberg on a first-snap gadget play that resulted in a 71-yard touchdown strike to a wideopen Broberg. The Bears took an immediate 8-0 lead when they tacked on 2 points from a spread formation on the extra point, and they were off and running. "We felt like we needed a lead and it was worth a

EST
shot," offered Bear head coach Ryan Bartlett concerning the long scoring pass. "It worked in practice all week, so we figured worst case it's incomplete, best case we're ahead and the crowd is into the game. It worked out well for us." White Bear led 22-7 at the intermission and 29-15 after three quarters. Both defenses were tested in a game that included 766 total yards. The Rangers racked up 401 total yards, fueled by 250 yards on 22 carries by Eiden. The running back, who has 437 yards in two games, had all three of Forest Lake's touchdowns on runs of 3, 28 and 24 yards. Ranger quarterback Payton Ziedler was 8-for-14 through the air for 111 yards. Brakes also grabbed a 21yard scoring pass from Kaun in the final quarter, and finished with three catches for 49 yards. The Rangers (0-2) travel to Mounds View Thursday night for a clash with the Mustangs. Mounds View is 1-1 for the season after losing 28-21 at East Ridge last week.

GIRLS SOCCER HEAD COACHES RICH ELLIOT AND AMANDA HANSEN (QUESTIONS ANSWERED BY HANSEN)
Q: What will be your team's greatest strengths this season? A: A large group of younger girls came out to the team. I think we will have more depth in strokes than in the past. We also have many key returning swimmers and divers who will play a big role in all our competitions this year. Many of the girls spent this summer training and getting ready for this season. Whether they attended diving or swimming camps or trained in clubs, the girls have come into this year more prepared than in past seasons. Rather than having to start with the basics, we are able to start to work on the technique and getting power out of our swims and dives. The divers have already been able to up their degrees of difficulty difficulty (DDs) as compared to last year. We have many returning
varsity section athletes and are looking forward to many successes this year. Q: Who are your captains, and why were they chosen? A: Kalley Berg, Elizabeth Blount, Andrea Dunrud and Emma Stockinger. These girls have been great leaders to the team and have done a wonderful job so far encouraging everyone to do their best and challenge themselves. Q: What competition are you most looking forward to this year, and why? A: A few meets we are looking forward to this season will be very competitive. For our dual meets, Roseville, White Bear Lake and Park will be very close. The girls have been working extremely hard so far this season and have some great goals to beat at least these teams, but would like to beat more. True Team Sections, the Ranger Invite and the White Bear Invite are also fun meets to compete at, because we are able to compete against teams we don’t normally get to see.

GIRLS SOCCER HEAD COACHES RICH ELLIOT AND AMANDA HANSEN (QUESTIONS ANSWERED BY HANSEN)
Q: What will be your team's greatest strengths this season? A: How well they work together. Many of these players have not played together ,and a few are playing different positions. Even after we had our first scrimmage last month, it was amazing to see how they all fell into their roles. They are not only encouraging to each other, but all the girls want to learn so they can put their best feet on the field. Q: Who are your captains, and why were they chosen? A: Senior Kassity Swanson, senior Abby Steinhoff and junior Olivia Lefto. They are all great leaders in their own way; they go above and beyond what we ask of them, they all have a terrific work ethic and they are all great role models. Q: What competition are you most looking forward to this year, and why? A: White Bear Lake, a team we are usually closely matched with. Last year the game went into overtime and we couldn't pull it out. This year, we are hoping it goes a different way. Q: Any special events or fundraisers readers should know about? A: For a few of our home games, middle school players will be helping out by being ball kids. We are excited they will be able to see the games up close and personal. We will also be selling metro dining club cards, a great way to save money at local and nearby restaurants.

Honoring Ulysses S. Grant name sake of our City of Grant along with our Veterans and past Civic Leaders
Meet Parade Grand Marshals Dave and Judy Gunderson They are honored to represent their father, Bill Gunderson who was a lifelong resident of Grant. Bill sat on the town board for 32 years serving in many positions. In 1917 when he was 20, Bill purchased the Elliot home with 160 acres and started farming raising crops, pigs, chickens and milking cows. In 1919, Bill married Claire Elliot and they raised 11 children. Four of their children, Joe, John, Mary and Dave built homes on this legacy farm. Bill enjoyed and served Grant proudly riding along with workers to make sure the plowing and graveling of roads was done properly. It is because of his love and leadership of Grant that we all enjoy the city’s rural heritage. Four of Bill and Claire’s children still reside in Grant; Marge Trent, Rita McMenomy, Mark and Dave Gunderson. The Gunderson family has a long proud history in Grant and the GRP is pleased to honor one of its founding families.

Blue(grass) roots campaign: Music fest set for Sept. 12 BY MICHELLE MIRON Editor
LAKE ELMO — If you get a kick out of pickers, mark your calendar for Sept. 12. The place to be is the 14th Annual Washington County Bluegrass Festival, which this year will feature “good-time hillbilly band” the Roe Family Singers, young Duluth-based group Borderstone and perennial local favorites the Barley Jacks (with Brian Wicklund) . The family-oriented festival offers food vendors and a lawn area in which to relax while listening. Play areas, hiking trails and camping are available. The festival is free, but permits are required for all vehicles entering the park ($5/day or $25/year). Husband and wife Quillan and Kim Roe, who originate from Kirkwood Hollow, join up with up to seven other musicians playing banjo, autoharp, guitar and washboard to make up the Roe Family band. According to the band website, the “family” has played at Minneapolis’ 331 Club every Monday night since 2005, in addition to hitting up other regional festivals. It describes its play list as “a mix of original music and contemporary takes on old-time, traditional and gospel tunes.” Duluth-based Borderstone is made up up Ryan Morgen, Nicholas Klee, John Rainwater, Rachel Reichert and Nick Glass
Submitted photo The Roe Family band plays weekly in Minneapolis,
, a group described on its website as “a traditional bluegrass and gospel outfit” that performs across the Midwest. The Barley Jacks of Marine on St. Croix are local favorites who perform original folk, bluegrass and “Americana” music. With Wicklund on fiddle, Joe Cruz on guitar, Kevin Rowe on bass
and Joel Arpin on percussion, the band has its roots in blues and bluegrass, classical, Celtic, R & B and bebop. Frontman Wicklund is known for performances at the Marine Town Hall and for staging a week-long Fiddle Camp in town each June that draws students of all ages. He grew up in Minnesota performing with various bluegrass bands, and has toured internationally with performers including Stoney Lonesome, Lorie Line, Chris Stuart Band and Brother Mule. He is a studio musician, teacher and author of the bestselling “American Fiddle Method” books.
Heritage-oriented Grant Parade set for Sept. 12 BY MICHELLE MIRON Editor
GRANT — It's a hometown event that has drawn more than 1,000 participants in the past. The Sixth Annual Grant Heritage Days Tractor Parade commences Saturday, Sept. 12, with some 80 vehicles of all kinds expected. The parade starting at Gasthaus Bavarian Hunter at noon, proceeding on Lofton Avenue, McKusick Road, 88th Street and Kimbro Avenue and ending at Grant Town Hall for judging. It then returns the same route to the restaurant for a picnic. Honored will be grand marshals Dave and Judy Gunderson, whose dad Bill served on the Town Board 32 years. Event coordinator Bill David of local group the Grant Restoration Project said the event has reached a “comfort level” and planners have no wish to see it become bigger or more commercial.
Submitted photo Vehicles of all kinds are welcome to be part of the annual Grant Heritage Days parade.
“The goal of this event is to honor those who have served our country and city, and encourage youth and the elderly to have an opportunity to reminisce and understand how lucky we are our forefathers have main-
tained our rural nature as surrounding cities have changed, explained David. “The charter states the citizens of Grant will maintain the right to stable, farm, fish and hunt. These could not happen in neighboring cities, and that is what keeps Grant unique.” Charter commissioners will be on hand to answer any questions related to the township vote Oct. 13. As early as 1858, pioneers lured by lumber and farming began arriving from the northeast
to claim large tracts of land in a 36-square-mile area that stretched from Manning Avenue to the Ramsey County line. Originally called Greenfield Township, the name of the municipality was changed shortly after the Civil War in honor of Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, who played a decisive role in defeating the Confederacy. Over its first 60 years, the eastern twothirds of Grant was agricultural. The western one-third was on or near White Bear Lake and developed into cottage and residential areas, noted an excerpt from “Growing up in Grant.” In 1918, Grant lost some territory when its western portion became Lincoln Township. Today that includes areas incorporated as Mahtomedi, Dellwood, Willernie, Birchwood Village and part of Pine Springs. Present-day Grant consists of 17,000 acres or 27 square miles. When a grassroots group worried the city’s heritage and rural lifestyle might be lost, it formed the Grant Restoration Project in 2010.
Yeehaw! Stagecoach Days rolls into Wyoming again BY MICHELLE MIRON Editor
WYOMING — A scaled-back Wyoming Stagecoach Days is rolling your way, with fun activities for all ages kicking up some dust. The name of the longtime annual festival is a reference to Wyoming's reputation in the 1860s as the first stop on the stagecoach route from Rice Street in St. Paul to Duluth. According to the city website, travelers north often stopped for the night, staying at a now-defunct inn on Viking Boulevard and Highway 61, and changed horses at a livery at what is now the south end of the industrial park. Later in the decade, stagecoach traffic was replaced by steam locomotive traffic. Organizer of Stagecoach Days is the Wyoming Fire Relief Association, and a full schedule is available on www.wyomingstagecoachdays.com. Highlights are as follows: •A Treasure Hunt commences with clues Monday, Sept. 7 posted on wyomingstagecoachdays.com or wyomingmn.org. Those buying the annual festival button will collect more money if they win (buy them at Village Inn, First State Bank or City Hall). •The Cornerstone Pub & Prime, 26753 Forest Blvd., offers a beer garden from noon to midnight all three days, with proceeds benefiting the Wyoming Fire Department's Fire Relief Association. •Minneapolis-based country band Blue Collar Cocktail entertains at 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 11. Its website www.bluecollarcocktail.com claims it “generates the best party atmosphere around.” •The Wyoming Lions hold a pancake breakfast at City Hall from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. Saturday , with supplies provided by The
Village Inn and Bruce Foods. In the afternoon, bingo commences from noon to 4 p.m., with donations going back to community projects such as scholarships. Collected for donation will be unwanted eyeglasses, hearing aids and printer cartridges. •Local favorite Marty Sonnek plays at noon Saturday, Sept. 12. The longtime Wyoming resident, who specializes in classic rock, has entertained at the festival for at least 21 years. •Wyoming United Methodist Church, 5459 E. Viking Blvd., holds a Pie and Coffee Social from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, featuring free pie and coffee made and served by congregation members. In years past, 700 slices have been served. Homemade booya will also be for sale while it lasts, with donations benefiting local missions. Also on site will be a display by the Wyoming Historical Society and a used book sale sponsored by Giese Memorial Library. •The Wyoming Area Creative Arts Community, which is establishing a new arts center at a former church at 5521 Viking Blvd., offers free learn-to-paint and potter's-wheel sessions for kids and the young-at-heart both Saturday and Sunday by the water tower. Local artists offer guidance. Prizes are offered by age group. Donations are welcome, as the nonprofit is trying to fund future programs at its new headquarters. Info: www.wyomingcreativearts.org. •A just-for-fun car show downtown Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. requires no entry fee and offers no prizes — just the chance to meet and mingle with other custom and vintage auto buffs. •First State Bank of Wyoming, 26741 Felton Ave., offers root beer floats starting at noon Saturday.
Submitted photo Attendees enjoy a stagecoach ride at a previous festival
•Bad Weather (www.badweatherrocks.com) performs at 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 12. Its Facebook page describes its sound as “metal, rock and classic rock mixed with a bit of rockabilly and blues.” •Alternative modern rock band Uncle Chunk of St. Paul (www.unclechunk.com) plays at 8 p.m. Sept. 12.

The Wyoming Fire Relief Association is hosting this year’s Stagecoach Days. We have extended the celebration to three days, Starting Friday, September 11th, through the 13th. The intention we want for this is we want to create a community atmosphere that allows for all age groups to enjoy this community event. The Wyoming Fire Relief Association has added some new venues, new entertainment this year, and is working on new events for next year. We want to grow this event to be a positive and enjoyable event for everyone in the community. The businesses in our area are an important part of the community as well; they have played an integral part in making Stagecoach Days happen. Without their generous donations and support, Stagecoach days would not exist. I would like to thank everyone that has supported Stagecoach Days and the Wyoming Fire Relief Association; this will be a great event and a great time!
