Last month, DigElog Sauk Rapids was at the 2009 Sauk Rapids Parade of Lights. Check out this 8-minute video that features all of the floats in the parade. Participants in the parade as well as the many observers braved single-digit temperatures in order to be a part of this great celebration. Congratulations to the city and all of the sponsors involved for putting on such a great lineup.

A special feature of this year's Sauk Rapids River Days Parade was a guest visit by the Stabekk School Band from Oslo, Norway.  Directed by Jon Einar Jacobsen and Henrik Wingerei, the band was founded in 1915 and has been adopted by His Majesty as the official King's Guard.  The Stabekk band is touring the Midwest playing in a number of venues during their visit to the United States.  The group is made up of 3 main groups; pre-band age 8-9, Junior Band age 9-11 and the main band agest 11-18.  All three bands are featured in this exclusive DigElogSAUKRAPIDS story.
