The summer concert lineup for Summertime by George s 10th season is here.
A project of St. Cloud Rotary, the weekly free concerts are staged Wednesdays at Lake George. Music lovers can bring lawn chairs or blankets, some cash for food and drink and enjoy two acts in the open air. The opening acts take the stage weekly at 5 p.m. with the headliners taking over from 6:30-9 p.m.
Middle Town Market will again bring food trucks to the park; the Eastman Tavern beer and wine garden and Little Georgetown activities for kids will also return.
A Rotary Club announcement said it will still be taking pandemic precautions with new handwashing and sanitizing stations placed throughout the park. A COVID-19 vaccine clinic sponsored by CentraCare and Stearns County Public Health will be held in conjunction with the event from 4-7 p.m. for the first six weeks of the concert series.
Daunte Wright is dead. And he shouldn’t be. It really is that simple, and to equivocate or make excuses for his death is wrong morally, but it also is to misunderstand the nature of policing in a democracy and what it can be today.
According to scholarly historian Gary Potter, policing in the United States started as a volunteer force and then grew to an organized group tasked with protecting the interests of the shipping industry in the North and those who profited from slavery in the South. In its early years, policing wasn’t really about the public interest.

(KNSI) – St. Cloud officials hope two popular summer events that got canceled due to the pandemic will happen this year.
The St. Cloud Rotary club is planning to bring back Summertime by George for its tenth year.
Mayor Dave Kleis told KNSI’s Bob Hughes that a couple of things need to happen before the Rotary Club can fill Eastman Park with thousands of music fans.
“You know, it all be dependent on where we are with COVID and, you know, the size of crowds and that type of thing, but I’m hopeful. They’re (Rotary) planning, and they haven’t canceled anything. They’re actually doing the planning for the event with some contingencies in place.”
