Old Cornstalk Festival barn being moved Thursday

(Regal MN-) The barn that was converted into a stage for the Corn Stalk festivals at the old County Line Bar in Regal is being moved today. KNSI Radio says the barn owners, Scott and Becky Mueller, plan to move the 93-year-old barn across Highway 55 and onto 140 acres the couple bought across Highway 55 from where the barn stood since 1991. The trip covers about a quarter mile on Highway 55, then another quarter mile on a gravel road that was built last week because the field was too bumpy for the barn to cross. Footings were poured Wednesday. The barn will sit on them through the winter, and the restoration could start this winter or wait until spring. Eventually, the Muellers want to ressurrect Cornstalk Fest.

The sights and sounds of the holiday season will roll through Wright County on Wednesday, Dec. 16, when the Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) Holiday Train makes stops in Buffalo and Annandale, bringing live entertainment and Christmas cheer while helping to fight hunger. Now in its 28th year, the brightly decorated train will visit Buffalo from 6 to 6:30 p.m. at Fifth Street Northeast, followed by Annandale from 7:30 to 8 p.m. at Downtown Park on Harrison Street.

Kish, a Mohawk, Two-Spirit singer-songwriter, blends country, Americana and rock influences with powerful vocals and personal storytelling. A four-time Juno Award nominee, she earned a 2026 Canadian Country Music Association nomination for Alternative Country Album of the Year.

Waite Park city hall to reopen after more than a year of construction

WAITE PARK, Minn. — Those looking to do business with Waite Park city officials will soon no longer need to go to the public works building by the Ledge Amphitheatre. The newly renovated government center, which will include offices for Waite Park’s police and fire departments, city administration and city council will open its doors Nov. 20. More: 2 St. Cloud-area grocery stores named among the best Waite Park City Administrator Shaunna Johnson said city offices will be closed on Nov. 18 and 19 and will take business again from its new building the following day. The 80,000-square-foot building will feature a large multi-use space that will have dividers set up so it can be used as training rooms for the police department, hold city council meetings and other events the city might need. Waite Park's police department expects to see a 15-person staffing increase from 2023 to 2043, with patrol units alone jumping from 18 officers to 28.

Voters approved a referendum in 2023 for a sales tax increase to help pay for the $25
