Face masks and social distancing were out of sight as smiles, laughter and social closeness were part of Lakes Jam at Brainerd International Raceway, north of Brainerd.
The number of people record-breaking attendance, in fact throughout the four-day outdoor music fest, Wednesday through Saturday, June 23-26 made it evident people were ready to go out and gather after staying home during the pandemic that hit the United States in March 2020, resulting in the cancellation of music festivals, concerts and large public events for more than a year.
