BEMIDJI 鈥� As warm weather and open water made their return, so did many of the summer traditions Bemidjians take part in each year.
Staples like the Knights of Columbus Walleye Classic, Loop the Lake Festival and the D-Feet Hearing Loss Walk brought the community together to enjoy the great outdoors. The area also saw plenty of new sights, like food trucks and new installations for the Bemidji Sculpture Walk to enjoy all year long.
