| Photograph of the Week Photo of the week by Mark Macleod, Crosslake, MN Ice Tee Open prevails over polar vortex“I’d like to pay to NOT play!” was a familiar theme this year at the 5th Annual Ice Tee Open Golf Tournament. As the temperature rose to minus 4, and the northwest wind did not abate, fifty hearty golfers braved the cold and teed off on the frozen course. Despite the polar vortex, $22,000 the highest amount ever, was raised to support the mission of Camp Knutson. Silent auction donations were at an all-time high. Jessica Eide of Moonlite Bay expressed her emotions at the check presentation, "We were so worried about this event, several persons called to ask if [it] was cancelled, we are just so pleased to be able to present you with this highest check ever. Thanks to all of you!” Full Story Lucy Kaplansky returns to Grassroots Concerts Series Mar. 7Lucy Kaplansky returns to the Grassroots Concerts stage after almost 15 years Friday, March 7.
