The 15th Annual Big Lake Block Party was a booming success on a beautiful day last Saturday at McPete’s.

The event, hosted by the Big Lake Chamber of Commerce, ran from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and featured unlimited mini-golf, free bowling, entertainment, vendor booths, games, food concessions, prizes, DJ Music, photo booth, free Jonny Pops, World of Wheels, a bouncy house and much, much more!

As part of the entertainment, Big Lake Schools Supt., Tim Truebenbach, Mayor Paul Knier, Principal Teresa Smock-Potterand others were subject to the ever-popular dunk tank. There was also a “Battle of the Banks” tug-of-war event and a car parade on Humboldt Drive.

Later on, Humboldt Station played music just outside McPete’s for the adults and families that hung around for the entire day. There were giveaways including bicycles for the kids.

The Chamber would like to say thanks to all the sponsors who included: McPetes, All Purpose Rentals, El Teca, Big Lake Spud Fest, Big Lake Area Veterinary Hospital, Queen Bees, Driscoll Accounting, Minnco, Jonny Pops, Northwoods DJ, Park Dental, Coborns, Avery’s Adventures and Sherburne State Bank.
