Squaw Lake Says Goodbye To The Harbor

Harbor Demo Harbor Demo
May 3, 2004 the walls of the old stomping grounds came tumbling down. Many memories were made at the old bar and on more than one occasion I've heard someone say, "If those walls could talk".

Stripping Walleye's at Cut Foot

Group at Cut Foot Walleye's close up
Every spring folks make a quick trip down to the river on Cut Foot Sioux to see Walleye's in every shape and size. A sure sign of spring is when passer's by can see the docks across the river as the ice begins to fade.

Stripping has started and the best time to view workers stripping the fish is in the morning hours before lunch. Stripping should go on through this weekend.

St. Urho's Parade

1st Place Finnish Boat Landing

This years St. Urho's Parade was a huge success! There were several great float entries this year with first place going to the "Finnish Boat Landing". The great creativity involved in this years floats may have sparked interest in next years float entries.See more St. Urho's photos here.

SLFD Perch Jerk Contest

SLFD Perch Jerk Contest

Although the weather was lousy for this years SLFD Perch Jerk Contest, it didn't stop the fisher people from turning out. The biggest perch caught this year was .97 by Rudy Lundquist. The smallest perch was .08 caught by Bill Osufsen. The fire department would like to thank all who donated prizes and all those who attended the contest this year. Your help and attendance is greatly appreciated.See more Perch Jerk photos here.

New Pavement

The residents of the "cemetary point" loop won't have to deal with the heavy dust from the dirt roads anymore. The loop from River Haven along the river to Co. Rd. 149 and back out to Hwy. 46 received a "face lift" this fall, with dirt work and pavement.

Crowd at Bright Star

Bright Star Says "Good-bye" to an old friend On Saturday, August 30 Bright Star Resort said good-bye to Cabin 4. Many people remember this as Ole & Doris' cabin, and many more knew it as "Killer's". The wrecking ball came as Bright Star makes way for 2 new cabins. The crowd toasted Ole and joined together with Tim in singing "Oh Canada" as they sat by the bonfire later that evening.

Take a Kid Fishing

The "Take a Kid Fishing" Day was a success!

The Squaw Lake Fire Department held it's 2nd Take a Kid fishing Day. There were more than double the amount of kids ready to fish at this years event compared to last year. Fishing took place from 9:00 am until Noon when lunch was served. After lunch several of the kids took part in the "casting" contest where they attempted to cast their line into a target area. Fun was had by all who participated (even the adults) and the Fire Department is looking forward to next years event.
