Annual Bluegrass Festival Cancelled

The Lakes Bluegrass Festival has been cancelled for this year. It is a summer event held at the Cass County Fair Grounds in Pine River. Organizer Tim Roggenkamps said after much consideration, they have decided to cancel the event. He says they had two great years and were glad to be able to raise enough funds to build a first-class stage on the fairgrounds, provide much needed power upgrades and were able to donate funds for repairs and maintenance. Over 20-thousand dollars were raised over two years and was reinvested in the fairgrounds.
