“We look forward to this event every spring and fall,” said Emily Broman, founder of the Duluth Junk Hunt. “We love watching shoppers come through the doors and marvel at all of our vendors' beautiful displays and incredible vintage finds.”
I’m not handing Hermantown a boys hockey state trophy in January. I’ve been around too long for that. But when the Section 7A tournament begins and the pressure turns real, I know who I’m riding with. I’ve seen this movie before. It usually ends with everyone else wondering how they missed it.
Tryon oversees America’s longest-running indoor football league, and that detail matters. Longevity in this sport is not accidental. It is earned. The IFL’s continued stability under his watch has come from a narrow but demanding focus: franchise health, controllable growth and revenue.
