 For 65 years, Paul Bunyan Communications has served the region and that is reason for a celebration. Paul Bunyan Communications held its annual cooperative celebration at its headquarters in Bemidji tonight. The cooperative is locally based and employees live and work in the area just like the people they serve. The company says customers are the reason for their success. Nearly 6,000 people were on hand today. You can expect once some great walleye. The Bemidji Fire Department does an incredible job along with Luke and so a great meal and then tons of activities for the kids. And if you might be able to hear in the background some great music too. The event was free and open to the public.
