Deer River

The Tuesday Summer Concert Series continues in the Grand Rapids area in 2026. Concerts are noon each Tuesday, June 2 through Aug. 18.

Events this week include "The Sound of Music" in Mountain Iron, the grand opening of a Deer River dog park and a mural unveiling in Bemidji.

Three of the communities receiving grant funding in this cycle are in Northern Minnesota: Floodwood, Fosston and Deer River.

The Full Service Community School model aims to support students and families beyond the classroom so that kids can reach their full potential.

The School Board voted down the alternative schedule 4-2. In the coming months, the district will have to figure out how else to cut 12% of its budget.

Superintendent Pat Rendle will bring the alternative schedule application to the Board on Feb. 11, 2026, for what he wants to be a final decision.

Events this week include a games and puzzle swap in Pine River and the Second Annual Cardboard Classic sledding event in Deer River.

Events this week include CLC's Jingle and Mingle in Nisswa, art receptions in Grand Rapids and Cook, a Christmas party in Marble and the Festival of Trees in Shevlin.

The organization leads initiatives like household goods drives, the Wheels to Work reliable transportation program and a volunteer portal to connect do-gooders with nonprofits in need.

Seventy more stops, expanded hours and more vehicles in the fleet makes the free AV service available to more MN communities, including those on Leech Lake Reservation.
