The Osberg Men’s Annual Fishing Trip was awesome. Just like last year, I stayed in the cabin until Monday afternoon. Then our guide Randin Olson, my son Erik, his son Walleye Willie and I headed for the secret lake. One of 1,048 lakes in Otter Tail County. It wasn’t long before I had a bite and I managed to reel in a 27” walleye. Up until then the biggest fish caught belonged to Cousin John, but now I was in the lead. Shortly thereafter, 14 year old Walleye Willie landed a 28 ¾ walleye. Now his name goes on the trophy.
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 26th Annual Juneteenth Event at Lake George Municipal Park in downtown St. Cloud. The event is from 3 pm until 9pm. More detailed information is available online at H W C M N dot org. I hope to see you there.
