Pullin’ in cash for Keen
Kenneth Eagan, of Washburn, finished in second place in his class at the 3rd Annual Pullin’ for the People. The annual event began in 2023 to benefit Bryson Wilderbruer, who was seriously injured in a vehicle wreck. The 2024 installment benefitted Kuper Tuten, who was diagnosed with Leukemia when he was a year old. This year’s take went to Byron Keen, a local child born with hydrocephalus, a condition which causes fluid to accumulate in the brain.

Jig On the Water, June 8
We had a lot of water this week. The river was at 299 CFS Sunday. This is very high, not flooded by any means, just high. There’s a strong flow, and the water is still off color. It’s not muddy, just has that blue-green murky color to it.
