By all accounts, SummerFest 2016 was a big success, and despite hot weather drew big crowds to the Libertyville Fun Fest, the Saturday-morning parade, the outdoor dance and fireworks, and several other events. The winners of the marching-band competition were: Class A: Hutchinson, first place, Albany, second. Class AA: Sauk Rapids-Rice Marching Storm. Class AAA: Mankato, first; Solar Sound (of St. Cloud), second. The band in the photo above is the Sartell Middle School Marching Band.
