Fans were invited to fill the hill overlooking the tennis courts
Tennis fans from Brainerd and Alexandria are seated on the hill overlooking the Brainerd High School tennis courts Tuesday, Sept. 20, 2022, for the Fill the Hill night. Free popcorn and warm weather helped make the evening pleasant for the fans on one of the last days of summer.
I was raised on a farm in western Minnesota where I participated in 4-H, high school sports, and everything that farm kids do for fun after chores. Graduated from Ridgewater Community College with an AA degree and my first taste of newspapering. I worked a summer on the Ortonville Independent as a reporter and photographer.
