Mid Summer in North Branch, amidst the raindrops

It was Fathers’ Day and that’s probably why there was a noticeable number of men and kids at the carnival Sunday, June 17 in North Branch Central Park-- like these two at the crane machines. More photos from North Branch Midsummer Days are on page 10. Rainfall affected some of the activities and events this year, but the party went on....the ladies were just noticing the drops of rain when their float was taking off down the parade route. North Branch Ambassadors for 2012 were: Jessica Wicklund, sponsored by D.Q., Lydia Olund with Fantastic Sams as her sponsor and Sydney Hylland, sponsored by Joe’s on Main.
