Over the years, we have participated in many local festival parades. We have roasted at Cottonwood’s Coming Days, but we loved every minute of it. We have partied with Belgian American Days, and we have been embraced by their love. We have sung a song or two at Marshall’s Sounds of Summer parade, and we even went back to our roots in the St. Patrick’s Day parade.
Cottonwood Coming Home Days Run
May be it was foreshadowing for the big day and I am more emotional than I think I am, but I really wasn’t prepared for my reaction. Slayton has held the draft horse show since 2007, and over the past 14 years, the fairgrounds have continued to improve, Biren said. At the same time, a major Cottonwood business will be marking a milestone. North Star Mutual Insurance Company will hold an open house in Cottonwood on Saturday to celebrate their 100th anniversary. Along with the traditional demolition derby in front of the grandstand. On blizzard watch Lyon Co. sets 3% commissioner pay increase MARSHALL — Lyon County commissioner salaries will be increasing in 2023.
I was always blown away when there were the pockets of people who would clap uproariously because they stood behind our mission. More than once, I cried when we received standing ovations. It is hard to explain but when we had that type of reception, deep down we knew that our sweet redhead wouldn’t be forgotten. Join us at the Cottonwood Coming Home Days Run in July for a great race. The Cottonwood Coming Home Days Run works hard to deliver you a memorable race experience.
New events adds some adventure to YMC Fair
We would love to hear from you, so consider writing us a review. Besides the usual 4-H animals and amusement rides, the fair will also offer music by the Wendinger Polka Band on Friday and the Herrlinger Family Band on Saturday. This escape room is on wheels and will be at the fairgrounds until 3 p.m. Denelsbeck said two-thirds of the 30-minute sessions are already reserved, but she said the Escape Room may stay past 3 p.m. But if you are looking for some twists, turns and riddles, you might want to show up at 11 a.m. The lineup of events at Coming Home Days includes a Dueling Pianos performance this evening.
Seeing the anticipation in the eyes of the little ones waiting for whatever goodie we might have that day was priceless. In addition to the draft horse events, the show will feature old-time farming demonstrations, good food and malts at the Murray County fairgrounds. Even today where cyberhugs were coming via facebook from my cousin-in-law. Parades have been encouragement and sanctuary wrapped up into one.

Every organization has people who go above and beyond and Reed’s Run is no different. One person for parades has spent the last four years washing her truck, entering our units, and watching diligently to keep everyone safe. Affectionately known to all of us as the parade queen, Linda was given a tiara by our family to keep the spirit going. One of Reed’s best buddies has been so sweet to bring his refurbished tractor (Grand Champion 4-H project) decked out with Reed magnets to the parades. Of course, it didn’t hurt that his tractor matched Reed’s favorite color. This wasn’t what I had planned for today’s blog, but I just felt God had different plans.
It has been a wonderful place to see just how many people have prayed and cared for us over the years, and for that I am truly THANKFUL. Raceentry.com also cannot attest to the validity of individual Cottonwood Coming Home Days Run reviews. All of the information about the race has either been supplied by the event staff or can be modified at any time by their race management. 2022 Cottonwood Coming Home Days Run registration details are only as accurate as the event has made them. According to Fair Secretary Melissa Denelsbeck, the Yellow Medicine County Fair added two new events to its three-day affair, which starts today. So it came as quite a shock to me as we loaded up with our parade accoutrement today when I started to sob.
For the last four years, our main marketing for Reed’s Run has been local parades. We have been giving away bubbles, pencils, stickers, beads, informational cards, and magnets. I have always loved a good parade, especially the Fiesta Five Flags parade in my hometown of Pensacola, Florida. But prior to Reed’s Run, I had only been in a couple parades as a kid. Nothing compares to the warm feelings you get while walking along small town streets.
We have had huge team turnout for the Wood Lake fair parade, but mostly, I think that was because everyone wanted to stay for burgers afterward. We have enjoyed a labor of love at Tracy, and we always are amazed at the turnout. Each year’s parade season ends at the place where Reed got his first true snuggly hat, Minneota’s Boxelder Bug Days. While rivals in school competitions, only love has been shared with our family in real life from the town of Minneota. Retiring in the town where Huck visits his nursing home friends and having them right at the end of the parade route was simply a divinely, poetic ending.
