"Here is a beautiful view of Lake Minnewaska in the early Spring season (leaves still haven't sprouted) I took with friends from UMM-Morris, Minnesota."
-Parade @1pm-3pm
*biggest and best parade around west central Minnesota!
Good friend Eric sitting in the shade from the heat as he watches the parade (his first for Waterama!)
Milan Community Band (they come to Morris every year too) Minnewaska Area Youth for Christ float (sprayed water at onlookers-including me! It was a hot day, so I didn't mind!)
-Bald Eagle Water Ski Show @3:30-4:45pm
*based in White Bear Lake, this group has been performing for Waterama since I've been attending almost every year since 00'!
It's hard to see the different cool moves (see wikipedia) they did in the pictures above. I highly reccomend checking it out "live". I've seen this show almost every year since 2000. This year, I think they just did only 1 day compared to 2 days in the past. It's probably because they get tired when they do two shows in a row within two days. I remember last year-it was a Sunday and they kept on falling. This year, I think they did a better job!
Entering the Beautiful Scenic View of Lake Minnewaska
I remember my first time going to Morris as a prospective student before attending the University of Minnesota-Morris, I was captivated by the awesome view going into town from the east on Highway 28....

Here are other views that this camera phone pic can't really describe the beauty entering Glenwood from the north on highway 29...
History "The range of the variety of performers has been exciting over the past decade. Symphony orchestras, instrumental soloists and groups, pianists, singer- songwriters portraying many eras of American music, chorales, ethnic dance performances as well as multi-community groups coming together to perform have graced the stage. Some of the big names have included: Bobby Mcferrin, Lori Line, Gene Pitney, Mary Beth Carlson, Gary Puckett, Bobby Vee, The Platters, The Coasters, The Kingston Trio, Clay Crosse, Minneapolis Community College Gospel Choir, Rochester Symphony Orchestra, the Heartland Bluegrass Opry, and a host of other wonderful entertainers. In 2003 the Central Square Board of Directors brought an annual concert series to Glenwood. In the first season 4 concerts were offered and in the 2nd series this was expanded to 5 concerts, with more plans for future concert series to expand even further. Central Square is very proud to bring renowned performances to this wonderful venue, for the enjoyment of West Central Minnesota residents. An annual professional children�s theatre production is offered to schoolchildren, who travel as far as 80 miles, one way, for what is perhaps their only exposure to a professionally produced theatre experience."
Below are pictures I took during the performance of "Hitch Your Wagon to a Star" by the area Home School students on Friday, February 15th of 2008..
