RYAN BAKKEN: Up a creek with Shriners
Climb into a canoe with two Shriners? What was I thinking? That’s because I’m sitting at my keyboard in soggy shorts and soggy socks inside muddy shoes.

Once upon a time, the survival strategy for small towns was to chase smokestacks. But, as the words “once upon a time” might suggest, that strategy was a fairy tale.

RYAN BAKKEN: A message for the next 100 years

Nothing has been decided, but there’s a good chance that the contents will follow the example set 100 years ago. Last week, commissioners got a peek at what was placed in the original capsule in 1912.

RYAN BAKKEN: Making bingo out of horse ‘plops’
One of the standard rules of parades: Don’t put a beauty queen float directly behind the horses. That’s because it’s difficult to smile with a curled-up nose.
