12th Annual Darwin Night ends with Blues winning 10-3
The 12th annual Darwin Night at Dassel Ball Park took place July 10, where the Litchfield Blues played the Dassel-Cokato Saints. The gates opened at 6 p.m. with barbecue food, music, and The Dassel Ambassadors giving out root beer floats. The night also had a t-shirt raffle, twine ball racing, and an opportunity for people to get together and catch up with others they might not have seen in a while.
Stearns History Museum’s John Decker; My Life [AUDIO]
History has been his life. Longtime Stearns History Museum employee and award winning John Decker joined me on WJON for our My Life series. Decker was born in Richmond and grew up with his 3 siblings and parents in Cold Spring. John's father, Wally and many of his uncles worked in the granite industry in Cold Spring. He says his mother, Bernice also worked at Cold Spring Granite as well after his sister, Pat went into grade school. John is the oldest sibling in the family so he was often tasked with taking care of his 2 bothers and 1 sister. He described his family as not the wealthiest in town or the poorest. John says his mother was kind of trail blazer by working at the time he was growing up. He says she sold encyclopedias before taking a job working in the office at the granite company.
