14th annual tour rolls on, by David Taintor. It was 10 a.m. at Canterbury Park, Shakopee. As I tried to rub the sleep from my eyes, I walked to the entrance gate of the concert venue.

The Scott Carver Threshers festival took place last weekend in St. Lawrence Township. Here are some videos of just a few of the sights and sounds from the event:

14,828 view 'extreme' races at Canterbury

Canterbury Park’s Extreme Race Day On Sunday featured horses racing at unique distances, camels galloping down the stretch, ostriches zig-zagging to the finish line, and a pair of $50,000 stakes.

Playing to a crowd of 14,828, the second annual event included Canterbury’s shortest race at 100 yards, the Dash in a Flash, won by Wheely Fast; and its longest race at 2 and 1/16 miles, won by Lord Kipling.
