 If you've ever been driving by Bemidji's Paul Bunyan Park this evening, you may have noticed a giant tent being erected in the park. The Bemidji JC has spent the day setting up a massive 60 x 140 foot red, white and blue tent for their upcoming water carnival. About two dozen members use sludge hammers and other various tools to stake the tent down and pull the 30 foot poles into place. While the space will be used for water carnival entertainment, other major events are scheduled to be held under the big top. So today starts our water carnival with the tent set up and the epicenter of all activities from Best Town Party, Hockey Day Minnesota announcement and all things water carnival. The tent will also be used this weekend for the annual Fishing Has No Boundaries event. The Best Minnesota Town Party will be held next Wednesday followed by Water Carnival which begins on Friday with live entertainment through the 4th of July.
