The second year of the Minnesota Snow Drag Tour wrapped up with several local talents achieving top finishes. This snowmobiling points series includes events like the Cook County Ridge Riders Drag Races and MESC Triplefest races. The tour organizers approached the Ridge Riders initially, impressed by their race management, and asked them to adopt some of their classes to make the Ridge Riders races qualifying events for the series. Following this partnership, MESC and Triplefest enlisted Ridge Riders board members Stephanie Radloff (announcer) and Malorie Brazell (brackets) to handle announcing and brackets at their events as well.
Each year on Memorial Day, our community gathers at the Cook County Courthouse to honor the service and sacrifice of the men and women who gave their lives in defense of our nation. The ceremony, which is held at 11:00 a.m., is a solemn and respectful event that brings together veterans, active service members, families, and community members to reflect on the meaning of the day. Our local American Legion and Auxiliary organizations lead the observance, including a color guard presentation, the playing of Taps, readings, and speeches that highlight the enduring legacy of those who served. The courthouse lawn becomes a place of remembrance and unity as a wreath is laid and the names of the fallen are read aloud, ensuring they are never forgotten.
Friends of the Superior National Forest is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the stewardship of the Superior National Forest. They are inviting Cook County residents and visitors to participate in several upcoming events.
