DigElog ROCORI proudly presents Terror on 23. Last week, Terror on 23 Director Chris Chapman granted DigElog ROCORI full access to the haunted house in Cold Spring. Local service groups such as the Jaycees, ROCORI athletic groups, and The Great Northern Theater Company are heavily involved in the production and for their members’ time, each organization receives a share of the event’s profits. If you haven’t made it out to Terror on 23, it is a must see. Best of all, the entire haunted house is indoors, the cost is minimal, and the proceeds go to a great cause.
This Wednesday, the DigElog Network will be showcasing another game of
the week. Follow along from your computer as we broadcast LIVE from St.
Cloud Apollo as the Eagles host the St. Cloud Tech Tigers.

On Monday September 28, 2009 residents from the ROCORI area filled the high school gym to watch the variety show and coronation. The MC’s for the event were Adam Braegelman and Sam Kammermier. This years underclassmen royalty girls are freshman Theresa Wenner, sophomore Chelsey Engelmeyer, and junior Kelsi Vos. The underclassmen royalty for the boys are freshman Joe Heinen, sophomore Chad Tomsche, and junior Jordan Hennen.

On September 1, 2009 DigElog ROCORI turned four years old! Over the years the DigElog Network (which now includes Sauk Rapids and Waite Park) has published over 1700 stories! This is truly a remarkable accomplishment. We would not be where we are today without our loyal audience, our dedicated sponsors, and our wonderful community. Thank you all for helping make DigElog ROCORI what it is today. We look forward to continuing to capture today’s stories so we may be able to preserve our legacy forever and ever. To Duane, Bette and the community I serve,
Words can’t possibly express what DigElog means to me. Not only have I grown to love the company I work for, and even though I am an outsider to the Land of ROCORI, I view it as my second home. There are so many individuals and organizations that make this community great. As somebody that walks the busy streets of Minneapolis regularly, I can’t begin to put a value on the friendly “hello” I am greeted with every time I walk past an individual in town. I am so blessed to be a part of the greatness that happens in this town on a daily basis, and it brings me tremendous satisfaction to preserve that greatness through the power of the stories we publish online. Happy Birthday DigElog ROCORI!
42nd Street
is typical of the musical style and entertainment during the 1930’s where
people flocked to theatres for a bit of escapism. Musicals had large tap
dancing casts with extravagant costumes and big stars performed popular
songs in front of a live jazz orchestra. We can relate to many of the
situations given today’s economy: When the chorus girls find a dime on
the street, they sing “We’re In The Money”. For a cheap honeymoon, the
bride and groom catch a sleeper train and “Shuffle Off To Buffalo” to see
Niagara Falls. Other songs include “You’re Getting To Be a Habit With Me”
and the “Lullaby of Broadway” that proclaims the stuff dreams are made of
on “42nd Street”. Everyone will enjoy watching the 11th
longest running Broadway show of all time.
The Show runs from August 6-8 and runs again August 12-14. 42nd Street is a must-see for the entire family, and there are still great seats available. Call the box office today at (320) 241-4682 or visit the Great Northern Theater Company online for more show details.
In this version of the ROCORI City Update, Larry Lahr fills us in on some 2009 Fire-fest details. This is the second year that the Cold Spring Brewery will host the event at the Distribution Center just north of ROCORI High School. Once again the proceeds will go to the Cold Spring Fire Department.
Dan Coughlin would like to remind the citizens of Richmond that the city is carrying out some major construction projects. Please be patient as well as careful when you are traveling through Richmond. Also, if you have children in the area please be mindful that there are some dangerous areas in town, and even though the construction workers do their best to keep themselves and others safe, it is ultimately our responsibility to make sure we are out of their way. This weekend is also Richmond River Lake Days. Be sure to come on out to Richmond and catch all of the festivities.
****************************** This story is sponsored by the Great Northern Theatre Company. It’s 1933 in New York and the
depression is on. The outlook is bleak as people have no money, no jobs,
and little hope. Julian Marsh, a successful Broadway director, is going to
put on what may be his last Broadway show. Come see the cast from the Great Northern Theatre Company perform 42nd Street.
