Saturday morning’s Buffalo Days Run for a Cause in Luverne City Park attracted more than 60 runners who enjoyed cool, calm weather conditions.

“We really were blessed in the weather category,” said Lori Sorenson, who organized the event as a fundraiser for Carson’s Cause.

I made my annual trip up to Upper Red Lake last week, and for the first time in a very long time we caught very few fish. The main reason for the dismal catch rates was the weather. We had high winds two of the three days that we tried to fish that kept us off the water.
