 Greetings from Voyageur Country! We are in the shank of summer, enjoying some of the best weather in the country - long warm days, cool evenings - reinforcing the notion that we are fortunate to live, work, and retire here. No wildfires, hurricanes or drought to deal with. And for many, this time is a draw for tourists to enjoy the replenishing power of Rainy Lake, Voyageurs National Park, the Littlefork, Bigfork and Rainy Rivers. August is the time for several festivals and celebrations in Koochiching County. This month, the Village of Rainer will celebrate its centennial birthday with an Old Time Founders Day marked by a full day of events (see related story). Also, the annual Koochiching County Fair will be held in Northome at the fairgrounds August 8 - 10.... |

VILLAGE OF RANIER TO CELEBRATE CENTENNIAL The Village of Ranier marked its centennial birthday earlier this year, and to celebrate is planning an old time Founder's Day Celebration on August 16th. In typical Ranier fashion, "There will be something for everyone - including the dogs," according to Centennial Chair Diane Edens. The historic port played a key role in the area's development. Its location, where Rainy Lake narrows into Rainy River, was a popular destination for Native Americans and the early Voyageurs. |
