Good morning, St. Cloud.
🏘️ Community
St. Augusta was first named Ventura when it incorporated on May 2, 2000 to avoid annexation by St. Cloud, but residents later voted on November 7, 2000 to change the name to St. Augusta.
The town covers about 30 square miles and has a population of 3,497, with landmarks like St. Mary Help of Christians Church built in 1873—reflecting its long history.
🎓 Education
The Minnesota State Fair will award up to 22 $1,000 scholarships for rural youth and agricultural students in 2024-2025 and two $2,000 scholarships for those entering or advancing in a skilled trade.
The Minnesota Livestock Breeders' Association and Minnesota 4-H will distribute $60,000 in scholarships to cover college costs — supporting further education and vocational training since the program began.
🏛️ Government
Stearns County Attorney Janelle Kendall told WJON that rules for 4th of July fireworks allow only certain consumer fireworks such as sparklers and ground-based devices—firecrackers, rockets, and other aerial devices are not allowed.
She said many violations are classified as misdemeanors and that nonprofessionals risk injury or property damage when setting off unauthorized fireworks.
