Remember our troops who are deployed and their families.

Blaine's Blazin' 4th is an annual festival held to celebrate the Fourth of July in Blaine, Minnesota. Blaine's Blazin' 4th kicks off the weekend before the Fourth of July.  This year's weekend-long festivities will be held at Aquatore Park (HWY 10 & HWY 65) and involves a wide variety of entertainment for every member of the family to enjoy and to remember for years to come. 

This weekend gala includes a carnival, craft shows, helicopter rides, recreational activities, food vendors and live band concerts to name a few.  But that’s not all. We extend the festival to include July 4th.  The events on July 4th start in the morning with an annual U.S. Flag raising ceremony at Blaine's City Hall.

A Fourth of July celebration usually concludes with a fireworks extravaganza, and this celebration is no exception.  Have your cameras ready and be prepared to be captivated by the fireworks' awesome beauty and to "ooh" and "ahh" along with the crowd at the pyrotechnics display at the National Sports Center.

Cancer Benefit



Jim and his dog, Bailey

Special thanks to all of the volunteers who helped make the Jim Ristine cancer benefit such a magnificent success on Saturday, February 9, 2008.  Over $12,000 was raised to help Jim and his family with the financial burden of medical bills.  And, of course, many thanks to all those who made contributions.  The family is very grateful to all of you.
