THE ROSEAU COUNTY FAIR PARADE WILL ONCE AGAIN BE HELD ON THE TUESDAY OF FAIR WEEK, THE 22ND OF JULY THIS YEAR. LINEUP WILL BEGIN AT 4:00, WITH JUDGING AT 5:00 AND THE PARADE BEGINNING AT 5:30. THEY ARE AWAITING INFORMATION AS TO WEATHER OR NOT IT WILL BE AFFECTED BY THE WORK ON HIGHWAY 11.
THE MINNESOTA DNR IS TAKING PUBLIC COMMENT THROUGH MID-AUGUST ON A PROPOSAL TO REDUCE THE STATEWIDE WALLEYE LIMIT FROM SIX TO FOUR. IF THAT WAS PASSED THROUGH THEIR RULES PROCESS, IT WOULD NOT TAKE EFFECT UNTIL MAY OF 2027. THE STATE HAS HAD THAT SIX FISH LIMIT FOR NEARLY 70 YEARS. IN AN ANGLER SURVEY, NEARLY HALF SUPPORTED THE IDEA, ABOUT ONE-QUARTER WERE OPPOSED, AND THE OTHER QUARTER DID NOT HAVE A STRONG OPINION.
A REMINDER THAT AS JULY 1ST CAME AND WENT, THE NEW LAW REQUIRING THOSE AGED 18-20 NOW NEED A PERMIT TO OPERATE A WATERCRAFT IN MINNESOTA. THAT REQUIRED COMPLETING AN ONLINE COURSE AT A COST OF $35.
IN OTHER STATE LAWS THAT GO IN EFFECT, ENTERTAINMENT VENUES WITH MORE THAN 100 TICKETED ATTENDEES WILL BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE FREE WATER, OR ALLOW SEALED OR EMPTY BOTTLES INSIDE. IF BEVERAGES ARE PROHIBITED IN THE SPACE, SUCH AS A GALLERY, WATER MUST BE PROVIDED OUTSIDE OF THAT SPACE.
THE GIANT BEAVER BECOMES THE STATE FOSSIL AND URSA MINOR BECOMES THE STATE CONSTELLATION.
FROM RECENT ROSEAU CITY COUNCIL NOTES, THE ROSEAU CIVIC AND COMMERCE WILL AGAIN LOOK TO HOST A PUCKS AND PINTS BREW FEST EVENT AT MEMORIAL ARENA. USAGE OF THE FACILITY WAS IMPROVED, ASSUMING INSURANCE AND LAW ENFORCEMENT WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF.
IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WILL NOT BE FLASHING PEDESTRIAN CROSSING SIGNALS INSTALLED ON HIGHWAY 11 AT MAIN AVENUE, WHERE THE CURRENT TRAFFIC SIGNALS ARE BEING REMOVED. THE REQUESTED THAT THE FINAL DESIGN BE MADE SO THOSE SIGNALS COULD BE INSTALLED AT A LATER DATE IF THAT IS DECIDED UPON.
CARMA HANSON WITH SAFE KIDS GRAND FORKS REMINDS EVERYONE TO BE SAFE AROUND FIREWORKS THIS YEAR, ESPECIALLY WITH KIDS. EVEN SIMPLE FIREWORKS LIKE SPARKLERS CAN BE DANGEROUS WHEN UNSUPERVISED.
