[♪♪♪] >> Matthew: HEY EVERYONE, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING, MY NAME IS MATTHEW FREEMAN FILLING IN FOR DENNIS WEIMANN.

>>> LARGE CROWDS OF PROTESTERS GATHERED IN CITIES ACROSS THE U.S.

FOR THE SECOND NO KINGS DEMONSTRATION HELD THIS YEAR.

OVER 70 WERE HELD IN MINNESOTA, INCLUDING 5 WITHIN THE LAKELAND VIEWING AREA, AS DEMONSTRATORS FEEL THEY SEE A DRIFT INTO AUTHORITARIANISM UNDER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AND HIS ADMINISTRATION.

BRAINERD'S RALLY DREW AN ESTIMATED 2,500 PEOPLE, A 25-PERCENT INCREASE FROM THE FIRST DEMONSTRATION HELD IN JUNE.

BEMIDJI AND GRAND RAPIDS SAW A SIMILAR TURN OUT TO THEIR THE FIRST NO KINGS RALLY.

BUT ADDITIONAL DEMONSTRATIONS IN PARK RAPIDS AND CROSBY WOULD BRING THE TOTAL TURNOUT TO AN ESTIMATED 6,000 PEOPLE WITHIN THE VIEWING AREA.

>> MY PATIENTS ARE TERRIFIED.

THEY ARE GETTING LETTERS IN THE MAIL SAYING THEIR BENEFITS MAY BE CUT AND THEY MAY NOT GET THEIR SOCIAL SECURITY CHECKS NEXT MONTH.

IT'S TIME FOR THIS TO STOP.

WE ARE FUNDING WEALTH CARE FOR THE RICH AND NOT HEALTH CARE FOR THOSE OF US WHO HAVE PAID FOR IT.

SO IT IS TIME FOR CONGRESS TO GET BACK TO SESSION AND IT IS TIME FOR THIS PRESIDENT TO NEGOTIATE AND IT IS TIME TO TAKE CARE OF OUR PEOPLE.

>> SOME REPUBLICANS HAVE DISPARAGED THE DEMONSTRATIONS AS HATE AMERICA' RALLIES.

FROM THE WHITE HOUSE TO CAPITOL HILL.

G.O.P.

LEADERS CALLED THE PROTESTERS COMMUNISTS AND MARXISTS.

INCLUDING PRESIDENT TRUMP, WHO CALLED THE NO KINGS PROTESTS A JOKE.

>> I LOOKED AT THE PEOPLE, THEY'RE NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF THIS COUNTRY.

I LOOKED AT ALL THE BRAND-NEW SIGNS, I GUESS PAID FOR BY RADICAL LEFT LUNATICS.

IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS, WE'RE CHECKING IT OUT.

THE DEMONSTRATIONS WERE VERY SMALL, VERY INEFFECTIVE AND THE PEOPLE WERE WHACKED OUT.

CAN YOU LOOK AT THOSE PEOPLE, THOSE ARE NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF THE PEOPLE OF OUR COUNTRY.

I AM NOT A KING.

I WORK MY [ BLEEP ] OFF TO MAKE OUR COUNTRY GREAT.

I'M NOT A KING AT ALL.

>> ORGANIZERS SAY ALMOST 7 MILLION PEOPLE ATTENDED THE MORE THAN 2,600 RALLIES THAT WERE HELD ON SATURDAY.

THE NATIONAL MARCH AGAINST TRUMP AND ELON MUSK THIS LAST SPRING HAD 1,300 REGISTERED LOCATIONS, WHILE THE FIRST NO KINGS DAY IN JUNE REGISTERED 2,100.

>>> A TEENAGE MOTHER AND HER INFANT CHILD HAVE BEEN REPORTED MISSING SINCE SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18TH.

THE BEMIDJI POLICE DEPARTMENT SAY THAT 17-YEAR-OLD LAURA WRIGHT AND HER INFANT CHILD, KYLO WRIGHT, WERE PICKED UP BY A LIGHT-COLORED SEDAN WITH L.E.D.

RUNNING LIGHTS AND COULD BE HEADED TO THE METRO AREA.

LAURA STANDS AT 5'4", WEIGHING ABOUT 220 POUNDS.

SHE WAS LAST SEEN WEARING BLACK SWEATPANTS, A GRAY LONG-SLEEVE SHIRT, AND BROWN SLIPPERS.

IF YOU HAVE INFORMATION REGARDING THE WHEREABOUTS OF LAURA AND KYLO WRIGHT, YOU ARE ASKED TO CONTACT THE BEMIDJI POLICE DEPARTMENT.

>>> A DISCUSSION AMONGST THE BRAINERD SCHOOL BOARD REGARDING TITLE NINE SPARKED DURING A WORK SESSION EARLIER THIS MONTH.

OVER A HUNDRED OTHER SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS, INCLUDING THREE FROM BRAINERD'S SCHOOL BOARD, SIGNED A LETTER URGING STATE LEADERS AND THE MINNESOTA STATE HIGH SCHOOL LEAGUE TO COMPLY WITH THE FEDERAL TRANSGENDER ATHLETE POLICY.

REPORTER MILES WALKER HAS THE STORY.

>> Reporter: THE U.S.

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND U.S.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AND HUMAN SERVICES ISSUED A 10 DAY NOTICE FOR MINNESOTA TO CHANGE THEIR TITLE 9 POLICIES ON SEPTEMBER 30TH, THREATENING TO CUT FEDERAL FUNDING FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT COMPLY.

>> AS FAR AS THE LETTER THAT THE BOARD MEMBERS SIGNED THROUGHOUT THE STATE, IT'S AN INDEPENDENT CHOICE.

I DON'T DISAGREE WITH WHAT THEY DID, BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT THE STATE HAS TO MAKE SOMETHING CHANGE.

I MEAN IF WE LOSE MONEY ON THIS DEAL, THAT'S GOING TO BE EXPENSIVE AND INEFFICIENT.

>> Reporter: U.S.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP GAVE THE EXECUTIVE ORDER BACK ON FEBRUARY 5TH THIS YEAR, BARRING TRANSGENDER ATHLETES IN PARTICIPATING IN GIRLS AND WOMEN'S SPORTS.

MINNESOTA STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL KEITH ELLISON FILED A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE ACTION ON APRIL 22ND THIS YEAR, CITING TRUMP'S ORDER AS A TITLE 9 VIOLATION AND A MINNESOTA HUMAN RIGHTS ACTS VIOLATION.

>> IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A WHIPLASH TO BE HONEST.

I GO BACK TO WHAT DO WE HAVE CONTROL OVER AS A SCHOOL BOARD AND WE ARE LOOKING OUT FOR OUR STUDENTS.

WE DON'T ASK PEOPLE TO DECLARE OR PROVE WHAT IS THEIR GENDER IS AND WHY WOULD WE DO THAT GOING FORWARD?

HOW WOULD YOU DO THAT?

THAT IS UNCOMFORTABLE.

>> Reporter: DUE TO THE FEDERAL SHUTDOWN INITIATED ON OCTOBER 1st, A FEDERAL JUDGE GRANTED THE REQUEST TO STAY THE PROCEEDINGS OF ELLISON'S SUIT AND ANOTHER MOTION FROM THE DOJ TO DISMISS THE SUIT IS UNDER CONSIDERATION, BOTH OF WHICH ARE WHY A FEW BRAINERD SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS SUGGESTED WAITING ON THE COURT'S RULING BEFORE FURTHER ACTION.

>> WHEN THE LAWSUIT WAS FILED, WE STARTED THOSE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT WHAT DO WE DO?

HOW DO WE REACT TO THIS?

IT BECAME CLEAR THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE PLENTY OF TIME, THAT THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE A QUICK PROCESS.

>> Reporter: MEMBERS OF BOTH THE BRAINERD SCHOOL BOARD AND STUDENT BODY SHARED OPINIONS AND STORIES SUPPORTING A CHANGE TO TITLE 9 POLICIES, INCLUDING A STUDENT GIVING A STORY FROM A TRACK MEET WHERE A TRANSGENDER GIRL OUTPERFORMED OTHER FEMALE ATHLETES DURING AN EVENT AND RANDY SUGGESTED GIVING COACHES THE OPTION TO NOT PARTICIPATE IN A SPORTING EVENT AGAINST THE TEAM THAT HAS A TRANSGENDER ATHLETE.

HOWEVER, THE SCHOOL BOARD REMAINED IN A DEADLOCK ON THE MATTER.

>> IF WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH THIS EVERY FOUR YEARS, IF THERE IS A CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP OR EVERY TWO YEARS, WHATEVER IT IS GOING TO BE, WHY ARE WE HELD ACCOUNTABLE?

IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN A TEENAGER TODAY AND THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TO ME, I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING INAPPROPRIATE.

THAT'S HOW I FEEL ABOUT IT.

MAYBE YOU GUYS FIGURE OUT THE STUFF THAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO DO.

>> Reporter: REPORTING IN BRAINERD, MILES WALKER, LAKELAND NEWS.

>> THE BRAINERD SCHOOL BOARD'S NEXT WORK SESSION WILL TAKE PLACE ON NOVEMBER 6TH.

>>> FOR MONTHS THE BRAINERD SCHOOL BOARD HAS BEEN DISCUSSING ITS LOOMING BUDGET DEFICIT, WITH PARENTS AND TEACHERS ALIKE SPEAKING OUT AGAINST THE BOARD'S INACTION, AND NOW STUDENTS ARE VOICING THEIR FRUSTRATIONS AS WELL.

MULTIPLE CURRENT BRAINERD HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS SPOKE AT LAST WEEK'S SCHOOL BOARD MEETING VOICING THEIR FRUSTRATION ABOUT THE LATEST IDEAS ON HOW TO DEAL WITH THE DISTRICTS FINANCIAL ISSUES.

SOME OF WHICH INCLUDED CUTTING A CLASS PERIOD FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL SCHEDULE, AN IDEA WHICH MANY OF THE STUDENTS RAISED AN OBJECTION TO.

>> I HOPE THAT YOU REALLY DO REACH OUT TO THE STUDENTS.

I KNOW THE PRICE TAG MAY LOOK AWESOME TO YOU GUYS.

WE'RE GOING TO SAVE THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY.

IS IT WORTH TAKING THOSE DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES AWAY FROM STUDENTS?

SO, I LOOK FORWARD TO THE DIFFERENT CONVERSATIONS I WILL HAVE WITH YOU GUYS.

>> THE BOARD'S NEXT REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETING WILL COME ON NOVEMBER 13TH AT 6:00 P.M.

IN THE WASHINGTON EDUCATION BUILDING IN BRAINERD.

>>> A WOMAN FROM NASHWAUK CONVICTED OF FILLING OUT AND SUBMITTING A MAIL-IN-BALLOT FOR HER DECEASED MOTHER DURING THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, WAS ORDERED BY A JUDGE TO READ A BOOK AND WRITE AN ESSAY ABOUT VOTING'S IMPORTANCE TO DEMOCRACY.

51-YEAR-OLD, DANIELLE MILLER PLEADED GUILTY LAST WEEK TO INTENTIONALLY MAKING OR SIGNING A FALSE CERTIFICATE.

AS PART HER PLEA, SHE CLAIMED SHE WAS INTOXICATED WHEN SUBMITTING THE MAIL BALLOTS AND WAS UNABLE TO PRECISELY REMEMBER WHAT SHE DID.

ACCORDING TO COURT DOCUMENTS, MILLER TOLD AN INVESTIGATOR THAT SHE HAD FILLED OUT HER MOTHER'S ABSENTEE BALLOT AND SIGNED ITS SIGNATURE ENVELOPE, SAYING HER MOTHER WAS AN AVID DONALD TRUMP SUPPORTER BUT DIED BEFORE RECEIVING THE BALLOT.

MILLER'S SENTENCE INCLUDES UP TO THREE YEARS OF SUPERVISED PROBATION, AND AN $885 FINE.

ITASCA COUNTY ATTORNEY, JAKE FAUCHALD, SAID THE SENTENCE IS A FAIR OUTCOME.

HE CALLED THE PAPER A UNIQUE ASPECT OF SENTENCING, BUT A FAIR EXPECTATION.

>>> IF YOUR VENMO, SNAPCHAT, FACEBOOK, PRIME VIDEO OR OTHER ONLINE SERVICES WERE AFFECTED TODAY, YOU WERE NOT ALONE.

MILLIONS OF INTERNET USERS WERE LEFT IN THE DARK, WITH A SLEW OF POPULAR WEBSITES AND SERVICES UNAVAILABLE BECAUSE OF AN ISSUE WITH AMAZON WEB SERVICES OR A.W.S.

THE INTERNET-BASED CLOUD SERVICE HOSTS MANY OF THE WORLD'S MOST USED ONLINE SERVICES AND CONNECTS PEOPLE AND BUSINESSES.

SHERRELL HUBBARD HAS MORE DETAILS ON THE GLOBAL DISCONNECT.

DISNEY+ AND HULU REPORTED ISSUES.

DELTA AND AMERICAN AIRLINES ALSO IMPACTED, BLAMED ON AN ISSUE WITH AMAZON WEB SERVICES OR A.W.S.

>> WE DESIGNED EVERYTHING TO WORK WITH THIS CONSTANT CONNECTIVITY AND WHEN YOU PULL THAT BIG PLUG, EVERYTHING BASICALLY BECOMES DUMB.

>> Reporter: PROBLEMS WERE FIRST REPORTED OVERNIGHT AND PERSISTED FOR SEVERAL HOURS BEFORE THE PROBLEM WAS THOUGHT TO BE FIXED.

ISSUES PERSISTED THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

BY MONDAY AFTERNOON, AMAZON SAID THEIR SYSTEMS WERE MOSTLY ONLINE.

THE FINANCIAL IMPACT OF THE OUTAGE COULD TOTAL HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

ACCORDING TO THE MARKET RESEARCH FIRM, AMAZON WEB SERVICES ACCOUNTED FOR 37% OF THE GLOBAL CLOUD MARKET SHARE IN 2024, GIVING IT A CRITICAL ROLE IN SUPPORTING THE WORLD WIDE WEB.

>> THERE WILL BE QUESTIONS ON WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO DO THE PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN.

PARTICIPANTS DRESSED UP IN THEIR COSTUMES TO PLAY GAMES AND TRICK OR TREAT AROUND THE CAMP GROUNDS.

ACCORDING TO OFFICIALS AT THE CAMP, EVENTS LIKE THESE HELP BUILD SOCIAL SKILLS AND PROVIDE AN AVENUE FOR KIDS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SPOOKY FUN.

>> EVERYBODY LOVES HALLOWEEN.

EVERYBODY LOVES DRESSING UP AND FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES, IT'S THE SAME THING.

EVERYBODY LIKES TO DRESS UP AND HAVE FUN.

A LOT OF THE LIGHTS, THE SENSORY MAY BE DAUNTING, SO WE STILL DRESS UP FOR THE HOLIDAYS AND STILL HAVE THE TYPICAL HALLOWEEN STUFF.

SO, CANDY, EVERYTHING, BUT JUST IN A SPACE THAT THEY ALREADY KNOW.

>> CONFIDENCE LEARNING CENTER HOLDS EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR FOR KIDS WITH COGNITIVE AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISORDERS.

>>> WELL STACY, I WAS HOPING FOR A WARMER HALLOWEEN, CONSIDERING THE WARM WEATHER EARLIER THIS MONTH BUT LOOKS LIKE IT CHILLED OUT NOW.

>> Stacy: THINGS WILL BE COLDER THIS WEEK, ESPECIALLY EARLY THIS WEEK.

WE HAVE BEEN SEEING CHILLY TEMPERATURES AND IT WILL BE COLDER TOMORROW, AND WE WILL SEE WINDS PICK UP.

GUSTY WINDS OUT THERE AND A WIND ADVISORY IS OUT FOR A PORTION OF OUR VIE [♪♪♪] >> AND NOW THE WEATHER WITH STACY CHRISTENSON.

[♪♪♪] >> Stacy: WELL, WE HAVE BEEN SEEING A LOT OF CLOUDS THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING.

SOME RAIN SHOWERS OUT THERE AND WE COULD CONTINUE TO HAVE RAIN SHOWERS OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AND EVEN INTO TOMORROW AND TEMPERATURES MAY COOL ENOUGH THAT THERE MAY BE A FEW SNOWFLAKES MIX IN WITH THE RAIN IN PARTS OF OUR VIEWING AREA.

THE BIGGER DIFFERENCE, THE BIGGER STORY WILL BE STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS WHICH WILL BE DEVELOPING OVERNIGHT AND CONTINUING INTO MUCH OF TOMORROW, ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF OUR VIEWING AREA.

WE'LL HAVE THE DETAILS IN JUST A SECOND.

HERE ARE THE CURRENT CONDITIONS IN BEMIDJI.

IT'S 40 DEGREES AT THE AIRPORT.

AT THE STUDIO, WINDS ARE NORTHWEST, GUSTS UP TO 23 AND OUR DEW POINT IS 37.

IN BRAINERD, SOME LIGHT RAIN THIS EVENING, IT'S 45 DEGREES, A DEW POINT OF 34, WINDS OUT OF THE WEST AT 18 MILES PER HOUR, AND GUSTS UP TO 31.

A WIND ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR MUCH OF THE SOUTHERN HALF OF LAKELAND COUNTRY.

THIS IS IN EFFECT BEGINNING AT 4:00 A.M.

TUESDAY AND BY THE TIME IT EXPIRES ACROSS OUR VIEWING AREA, WE'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT 6:00 P.M.

ON TUESDAY.

WE WILL EXPECT TO SEE WINDS, SUSTAINED WINDS FROM 15 TO 35 MILES PER HOUR, WITH GUSTS POSSIBLY UP TO 45.

NOW ON OUR SATELLITE AND RADAR THIS EVENING, WE HAVE BEEN SEEING AREAS OF RAINFALL.

WE HAVE SOME OF THOSE OUT THERE TONIGHT, AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE CHANCES OF RAIN ACROSS OUR VIEWING AREA OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AND COLDER AIR PULLED INTO THAT, ESPECIALLY IN NORTHEASTERN MINNESOTA, COULD BRING A FEW SNOWFLAKES MIXED IN WITH THE RAIN AND AGAIN WE WILL BE SEEING THE WINDS PICK UP, AND THE WINDY CONDITIONS CONTINUING TOMORROW, ALONG WITH THE RAIN AND POSSIBLY SNOW IN THE MORNING.

SOME WEATHER SHOTS TO SHARE WITH YOU TONIGHT, ANGELA FROM CASS LAKE, ARLENE FROM MENAHGA, AND GARY SENDING US PICTURES OF THE SUNRISE.

PRETTY PICTURES AT THAT.

WE ALSO HAD A LOT OF CLOUDS IN THE AREA AND SOME INTERESTING LOOKING CLOUDS OVER RED LAKE FROM BRANDON AND ROBIN OVER THE BIG RED LAKE AS WELL.

SAMROSE SENDING US THIS PHOTO OF NOON TODAY.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THOSE TONIGHT.

FOR OUR EAGLE EYES REPORTS, ARLENE IN MENAHGA, 45 AND WINDY THIS MORNING.

BOB IN BLUFFTON, WINDY TODAY, 51 WAS THE HIGH.

ANGELA AT CASS LAKE, WINDY CONDITIONS, PICKING UP 0.05-INCH OF RAINFALL.

ON OUR ALMANAC, WE'RE ABOVE THE AVERAGE, WITH A LOW OF 37.

BEMIDJI REACHING A HIGH OF 52, AGAIN, BEATING THE AVERAGE BY 2 DEGREES, 37 WAS OUR LOW, AND 6:22 WAS THE SUNSET.

LOOKING AT TOMORROW'S FORECAST, WE HAVE CHANCES OF RAIN SHOWERS, ESPECIALLY IN THE MORNING.

AS I MENTIONED, THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE WE COULD SEE A LITTLE BIT OF SNOW IN EASTERN MINNESOTA TOMORROW MORNING.

AS THAT CONTINUES THROUGHOUT THE DAY, MOST OF THAT ACTIVITY WILL BE ENDING AS WE HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON, BUT WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO HAVE A LOT OF CLOUD COVER ACROSS THE AREA, WITH THE WINDY AND GUSTY WINDS.

AS FAR AS TEMPERATURES GO, IT'S ALSO GOING TO BE CHILLY, HIGHS WILL BE AROUND 40 IN THE NORTHERN HALF OF OUR VIEWING AREA, WITH SOME LOW TO POSSIBLY MID-40s IN CENTRAL MINNESOTA.

HERE'S OUR FORECAST, SHOWERS LIKELY TONIGHT, THERE IS A CHANCE FOR SNOW IN THE NORTHEAST, WITH MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES, LOWS NEAR 36, WITH THE WINDS PICKING UP 10 TO 25.

SHOWERS ARE LIKELY AGAIN TOMORROW, WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SNOW IN EASTERN MINNESOTA IN THE MORNING, HIGHS NEAR 41, WINDS NORTHWEST AT 15 TO 30, WITH GUSTS 35 TO 45 MILES PER HOUR.

THERE IS A CHANCE OF SOME RAIN AND SNOW IN NORTHEASTERN MINNESOTA ON WEDNESDAY, OTHERWISE THE WEATHER PICTURE QUIETS DOWN AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK.

IT LOOKS LIKE TEMPERATURES WILL BECOME A BIT MORE SEASONAL AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND, HIGHS IN THE UPPER 50s ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

BACK TO YOU.

>> Matthew: THANK YOU SO MUCH STACY.

WE HAVE CHARLIE YAEGER WITH US AND I UNDERSTAND THAT GRAND RAPIDS SOCCER TEAM HAS A LITTLE BIT OF SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO.

>> Charlie: YES, THE GIRLS SOCCER TEAM WILL BE PLAYING IN THE STATE TOURNAMENT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN PROGRAM HISTORY.

>> Reporter: ON A WET AND WINDY OCTOBER MORNING IN GRAND RAPIDS, THE GIRLS SOCCER TEAM IS PRACTICING WHILE THE REST OF THE STUDENTS HAVE THE DAY OFF.

UNLIKE THE WEATHER, THEY AREN'T GLOOMY ABOUT IT.

>> IT FEELS AWESOME.

THIS IS THE LATEST WE EVER PRACTICED.

WE'RE USE TO THESE CONDITIONS, SO THE CONDITIONS DON'T MATTER.

WE'RE ALL SO HAPPY AND HYPED UP.

>> US MAKING IT TO STATE SHOWS ALL OUR WORK.

WE PROGRESSED A TON DURING THE SEASON, FROM THE START TO THE END, IT'S A TOTALLY DIFFERENT TEAM.

I DON'T THINK THAT ONE GAME IS OUR WHOLE SEASON.

WE HAD SOME GREAT GAMES OUTSIDE OF THAT, BUT I THINK IT SHOWS THE PROGRESS WE MADE.

>> Reporter: AND THEY HAVE A PLAN TO CONTINUE PROGRESSING AS THEY PREPARE FOR THE STATE TOURNAMENT.

>> I THINK REALLY JUST WORKING ON GETTING TO THE HIGHER LEVEL OF PLAY AND THE SPEED OF PLAY IS GOING TO BE WAY QUICKER.

WE HAVE TO BE READY TO BE ON OUR TOES.

>> Reporter: IT'S WHY THE THUNDER HAWKS HAVE NO QUALMS SPENDING A GLOOMY OCTOBER MORNING ON THEIR DAY OFF AT SOCCER PRACTICE.

>> YEAH.

THE BEMIDJI AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE HAS BEEN HOLDING A MONTHLY BUSINESS AFTER HOURS EVENT FOR MANY YEARS, BRINGING THE PUBLIC AND OTHER CHAMBER MEMBERS TO ONE LOCAL BUSINESS TO GET A CLOSER LOOK AT WHAT THEY DO.

FOR THIS WEEK'S IN BUSINESS, OUR REPORTER SYDNEY DICK VISITED THE OCTOBER BUSINESS AFTER HOURS, WHICH WAS HELD AT THE BEMIDJI REGIONAL AIRPORT FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER.

>> Reporter: AIRPORTS, YOU MAY THINK OF PLANES, BAGGAGE CLAIMS, AND VACATION TIME.

YOU MAY NOT THINK OF THE BUSINESSES OR HOSPITALS THAT NEED AIRPORTS TO FUNCTION OR THE SCHOOLS NEEDED TO TEACH PILOTS HOW TO FLY.

THE BEMIDJI REGIONAL AIRPORT HELD AN EVENT TO TEACH THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE INNER WORKINGS ON RUNNING AN AIRPORT, OTHER THAN JUST DAILY FLIGHTS.

>> WE TURNED IT INTO AN AVIATION EXPO TYPE OF EVENT, TO SPOTLIGHT A LOT OF THE USERS OF THE AIRPORT.

>> Reporter: THE IDEA OF TEACHING ABOUT THE LOCAL AIRPORT AND BRINGING ATTENTION TO THEIR BUSINESS PARTNERS RESULTED IN ONE OF THE BEMIDJI CHAMBER OF COMMERCE'S BIGGEST AFTER HOURS EVENT YET.

>> WE GAVE A LOT OF THE AIRPORT TENANTS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPOTLIGHT THEIR COMPANIES AS WELL.

INSTEAD OF HAVING THIS BE ABOUT THE AIRPORT, IT'S EVERYBODY THAT NEEDS AND USES THE AIRPORT.

>> Reporter: IN ADDITION TO HIGHLIGHTING OTHER BUSINESSES, THE AIRPORT WANTED TO HOLD THE EVENT TO CONNECT WITH THE PUBLIC AND MEET WITH THEM FACE-TO-FACE.

>> WELL, WE HAVE 450 MEMBERS COME OUT AND JUST SEE SOME PEOPLE YOU HAVEN'T SEEN BEFORE, NETWORK, AND HOW PEOPLE CAN WORK TOGETHER, AND THEN COME OUT TO PLACES LIKE THE AIRPORT, WHERE YOU MAY NOT GET THIS KIND OF ACCESS LIKE WE HAD TONIGHT.

>> Reporter: THE BEMIDJI AIRPORT HAS DAILY COMMERCIAL SERVICE TO MINNEAPOLIS AND ON TOP OF THAT, ARE INVOLVED WITH OTHER BUSINESSES, FROM BEMIDJI AVIATION, TEACHING FLYING CLASSES, TO BEING A SIGHT FOR SANFORD HEALTH MEDICAL FLIGHTS AND HELICOPTERS.

>> IT TAKES A LOT OF BUSINESSES TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN OUT HERE, NOT ONLY FLIGHT SUPPORT AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS, BUT ALSO THE EDUCATION OF AVIATION, TRYING TO FIND THE NEXT LEADERS AND WORKFORCE.

>> WE HAVEN'T HOSTED AN EVENT LIKE THIS FOR A WHILE, SO IT'S GOOD TO REMIND A LOT OF THESE BUSINESS OWNERS, MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, OF WHAT THE AIRPORT DOES FOR THE COMMUNITY AND ALL THE COMPANIES THAT RELY ON IT.

>> Reporter: REPORTING FROM BEMIDJI WITH THIS WEEK'S IN-BUSINESS, I'M SYDNEY DICK, LAKELAND NEWS.

>> Matthew: THE NEXT BEMIDJI CHAMBER BUSINESS AFTER HOURS WILL BE ON TUESDAY NOVEMBER 11TH AT NORTHWOODS LUMBER COMPANY.
