Congratulations to the Bunyan Bay High School Fighting Crappies for winning their homecoming game Friday night against the Gull Lake “Large Mouth Bass.” The Crappies are now 3-2 for the year, making this their best football season since Swede “Straightjacket” Larson was on the team in 2006. Because of censorship rules, the school board changed the homecoming slogan from “Kick their Bass” to “Beat the Visitors.”

Bunyan Bay’s 94 year old Mayor Swensen (no relation) is up for re-election in November and his campaign is in full swing. Swensen has been Mayor of Bunyan Bay since 1942 and Saturday night he was seen campaigning at The Musky Lounge, Bunyan Bay’s exclusive gentleman’s club. Will someone please run against him.

The Bunyan Bay Community Theater’s Fall musical will open this Friday. This year the Bunyan Bay Players will present “Dolls and Dolls.” They intended to put on “Guys and Dolls” but no men auditioned.
