Bemidjians celebrated the spring season with traditions like fishing opener, ECFE's Wheels event, spring sports and Bemidji State's commencement ceremony.
Through the changing of the season, Pioneer photographers Annalise Braught, Madelyn Haasken and Maggi Fellerman were there to capture these fun moments.
