The annual Osberg Men’s Fishing Trip at Holly’s Resort on Otter Tail Lake was awesome. I stayed in the cabin until Friday morning. Then, just like last year, our guide Randin Olson, my son Erik, my grandson Walleye Willie and I headed for the secret lake. One of 1,048 lakes in Otter Tail County. I didn’t catch any trophy fish, but I did catch three Walleye, a Northern and a Bass. Later that night, Erik and Willie went out again and Erik caught a 27 15/16-inch walleye, so the Trophy stays in my family. On another note, brother Brian had a 29-point cribbage hand. Next year, we may add a cribbage tournament to the mix. (Note: The picture is from 2022.)
On June 19, 1865, Union troops arrived in Texas proclaiming that enslaved Black people were free. More than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was supposed to end slavery in the United States. Now Juneteenth is a National Holiday.
Later today, Higher Works Collaborative will celebrate the African American Male Forum 28th Annual Juneteenth Event at Lake George Municipal Park in downtown St. Cloud. The event is from 2 pm until 7pm. More detailed information is available online at H W C M N dot org. I hope to see you there.
