Congratulations Katie Marie and Michael!
This is John and Judy Herdan at their son, Michael's wedding, last weekend. There are a couple more wedding photos to come when the trailboss gets a chance. John said he felt it was time to bump the naked guy. In the meantime, here's an annoucement about this weekend from John. --TrailbossUpdate on Wobegon Trail ride
Thought I'd let you know about an event coming up next Sunday , the 26th, in the Alex area. The Lake Wobegon Trail (the old Great Northern Railroad tracks) has now been finished all the way from St. Joseph to Osakis where it turns into the Central Lakes Trail. They are having a party to celebrate the completion in downtown Osakis.
My all-star jazz band, JazzDotCombo is representing the St. Joseph end of the trail. We are opening the party by playing from 11:00 a.m. to around noon. Even people golfing at the Sevey Open at the Alexandria Golf Club that day could make it to this part.

Two major hiking trails will finally connect and the celebration begins this Sunday, August 26 at 11 a.m. in Osakis.
Osakis is roughly the half-way point between Alexandria and Sauk Centre at the Central Lakes Trailhead and connecting point for the Lake Wobegon Trail.
Hundreds of bicyclists and bladers along with walkers and joggers are expected to join the festivities and greet Minnesota’s most famous resident of Lake Wobegon – Garrison Keillor.
It’s OK to arrive by car, truck, motorcycle, horse or other legal means of conveyance.
The linkage of the two trails creates a 120-mile uninterrupted paved surface through Minnesota’s scenic prairies, rolling hills, woods, creeks, rivers and lakes.
Local residents have dubbed it a “Pretty Good Trail Connection” and have laid out a series of events beginning at 11 a.m., which they say are worthy of the attention brought by Minnesota’s most famous non-existent place.
Events include the following:
• Live music on an outdoor stage in downtown Osakis featuring the Acoustic Cats, a jazz combo, Skilly and Duff with Mikko Cowdery, and The Gordon Men’s Chorus.
• Bicycling with Jake of The Bike and Fitness Company of Alexandria and Dave Simpkins of the Sauk Centre Herald who will lead the biking convoys from their respective towns to meet in Osakis. (Local information: jake@bikeandfitnessco.com or davespimpkins@saukherald.com.)
Water for the bicyclists will be provided by First National Bank of Osakis.
• Other “above-average” fun stuff includes a rhubarb pie-eating contest, kayaking and pontoon rides on Lake Osakis, a bicycle parade, free use of a bicycle and sidewalk sales.
• Food available includes powdermilk biscuits from Just Like Grandma’s, ribs and pork from Osakis Meats and Deli plus specials at Osakis versions of the Chatterbox Café.
