FFA members helped beautify the town for fall!
Working in cooperation with the Chamber, Downtown Business Promotion Group, Big Springs Farm Pumpkins & Corn Maze LLC (provided stalks), Lanesboro Area Community Foundation (funding) the town is now festive for fall!
Attention Burro Nation: New this year all home games held in the main gym or at the football field can be streamed for FREE at fan.hudl.com or on the "Hudl Fan" app. Many other local schools are using Hudl to stream as well, so you can catch many road games, too. We will continue to host these games on NFHSnetwork.com as well, but that is a subscription based service. (All other links you see are spam/scams).
Please continue to support our athletes in person as much as you can, but when you can't this is a great way to stay in on the action!
We have a busy 24 hours ahead for our Burro athletes heading into the weekend!
The action kicks off tonight with varsity football home vs. Kingsland.
Tomorrow the cross country teams head to Decorah for the Luther College All-American Invite and the varsity volleyball team travels to Wabasha for the Biever Volleyball Classic.
Good luck to all!
