The group, named after a regional landmark on Highway 2 between Crookston and Bemidji, was honored with the opportunity to open for the Beach Boys at the Fargodome. They were also honored with the first place trophy in the Minnesota State Fair, County Fair division, amateur talent contest and performed at the grandstand for three thousand people.
