Bonanza Valley Days in Brooten is coming on Thursday through Sunday, July 7, 8, 9 and 10. We are down to just two weeks to prepare! This year's BVD theme is "Honor the Red, White and Blue in 2022" as a nod to patriotism and love for our country.

From 5:30 to 7 p.m., the Life Link III helicopter will land near the city park for the public to get an up close look at. *This is weather-permitting and only if they are not needed for a medical call.
