Homecoming blaze
By Michael Martin, Tribune staff photographer
Albert Lea High School students gather around the ALHS letters
that were set on fire Thursday night in the Hammer Field parking
lot. The Albert Lea Fire Department set the letters on fire, as
well as a bonfire, and maintained both fires. Albert Lea High
School has been celebrating its homecoming this week, with the
homecoming football game being played tonight at 7 p.m. at Hammer
Field. Before the game, at 6 p.m., local political candidates
will hold a press conference at the football field to announce
their positions on the proposed Albert Lea excess-levy referendum,
which is on the Nov. 5 general-election ballot. Those participating
will be Sen. Grace Schwab, R-Albert Lea; Democratic state senate
candidate Dan Sparks of Austin; Rep. Dan Dorman, R-Albert Lea;
Democratic state house candidate Allen Halvorsen of Albert Lea;
and Albert Lea mayoral candidates Mark Anderson and Jean Eaton.
