An exciting, busy weekend started for me with the Owatonna Athletic Hall of Fame reception and included some time with my daughter at Harvest Jam in Rochester.
Townsquare Radio in Rochester hosted its first Harvest Jam on Saturday, Sept. 12. Fantastic weather and a great lineup led to a big crowd at the Olmsted County Fairgrounds.
The Freeborn County Fair has a history of bringing in some big country stars for their grandstand shows. Admission to the fair includes these shows. The fair runs Aug. 4-9.
The field of six bands for the annual Steele County Free Fair Battle of the Bands event is set. They compete Wednesday, Aug. 19, in front of the grandstand at 5:30PM.
The annual Battle of the Bands will open the evening grandstand entertainment on August 19 at the Steele County Fair in Owatonna. That will be followed by Drop Tailgate and Lost Highway.
The country music group Hitchville highlights the evening portion of Saturday's customer appreciation day at Walser Chevrolet of Owatonna. Family activities run noon to 4PM.
