The Chicken Dance during the Friday night activities during Runestone Days

Miss Runestone is crowned for 2010

A great crowd descended on Main Street in Kensington on Friday night, as the annual Runestone Days celebration got underway.














The new Miss Runestone is Rachel Petersen, sponsored by Andreasen Motor Sports of Kensington.

Her princesses are Kristin Gilbertson (sponsored by Midwest Machinery of Alexandria) and Amanda Drechsel (sponsored by Blascyk Auto Body of Kensington).

The big parade is on Sunday at 1:30, but a ton of activities will take place between now and then. Look below for the full Runestone Days schedule, which is also published in this week's Herman-Hoffman Tribune on the back page.

A big thanks goes out to the First State Bank of Kensington and the Kensington Commercial Club, for sponsoring the advertising with us.

Here's the Kensington Runestone Days poster with the complete schedule
