Enjoy new podcast, app from Times Media

Jake Laxen and Kate Kompas are featured on the new Cloudy Town After Dark weekly podcast in the iTunes store.

Good morning, St. Cloud area.

We have two new digital offerings for readers.

First, the Central Minnesota Prep Sports app is now available for iPhones and Android phones.

The app is free to download. It provides readers with prep sports coverage including photos, galleries, scores, and other high-value local prep sports content.

This will be a wonderful way to keep current on the prep sports scene, especially on game days or nights when fans can track the latest updates while sitting in the stands or in a chair in the backyard.

For more information: www.sctimes.com/prepsportsapp.

The second offering is Cloudy Town After Dark weekly podcast with Jake Laxen and Kate Kompas.

Laxen is our food, dining and beer reporter. Kompas is our entertainment and arts reporter.

Both our local experts will give you an overview of what is going on in the dining and entertainment scenes. The podcast is available in the iTunes and Podcast apps each Thursday.

Again, the podcast is free. There are six already available to download.

For more information: www.sctimes.com/podcast.

If you want to visit with Laxen and Kompas and watch them create a Cloudy Town After Dark podcast, join them around 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Summertime by George! concert at Lake George. They will be in a Times Media booth interviewing guests during the early hours of the concert featuring the Fabulous Armadillos. Look for the booth near the vendor area.

Love a parade?

If you love a parade, here’s a chance to show that love.

Planning is underway for the ninth annual St. Cloud Veterans Day Parade and Social, set for 1 p.m. Nov. 8 at the VA Health Care System and Apollo High School.

We are looking for a new parade coordinator to primarily handle the logistics of this event. The position comes with a stipend from the St. Cloud Metro Vets, the official sponsor. However, the coordinator works primarily with Times Media because the Times oversees the bulk of the planning and organization.

Duties include arranging logistics in advance of the parade and social, coordinating parade entries, arranging adequate volunteer staff for the event, leading organization of the parade on Nov. 8. Duties begin immediately. Contact Engagement Editor Randy Krebs for details at 255-8762 or rkrebs@stcloudtimes.com.

Walk with us on Beaver Islands Trail

The Beaver Islands Trail is one of the most beautiful in our area. Most of the trail is covered by a canopy of trees and meanders along the Mississippi River. The trail runs from the far end of St. Cloud State University’s campus to an area on the south side near the St. Cloud Country Club.

At noon Tuesday starting at the trail head shelter near campus, we are scheduled to have A Walk in the Park on the trail. Please join Times Media news staffers for a stroll along the trail and good conversation.

Do you have a question about the Times? You can ask St. Cloud Times Executive Editor John Bodette, P.O. Box 768, St. Cloud, MN 56302-0768; or call him at 255-8760; or email him at jbodette@stcloudtimes.com. Follow him on Google Plus under jlbodette; on Twitter @jlbodette and on Facebook, John Bodette — St. Cloud Times.
