• 4 Minnesota Twins Players Are All Getting Married On The Same Day (mix949.com) — Twins fans in Waite Park will appreciate that four Minnesota Twins players all chose the same November day for their weddings, creating some awkward choices for teammates and coaches. Tucked into the story is a shout-out to Antons Restaurant in Waite Park as a spot worthy of Guy Fieri’s attention. It’s a fun blend of baseball gossip and local food pride. 
• Annette Marie Schmitz, Who Lived And Worked In Waite Park, Dies (wjon.com) — Waite Park residents are remembering longtime community member and Bernick’s worker Annette Marie Schmitz, who lived independently in the city for years with support from Stearns County services. Her family recalls her dedication to work, love of crafts and westerns, and the many handmade keepsakes she shared. A private Funeral Mass in Roscoe will be held later.
