@spooky___kid I’m so sorry for what happened. Fr. Zehren was our pastor at St. Vincent. I’m working on a story about the school and the type of community among the students and teachers there. Would you be willing to talk to us?

A breezy & cool end to your Saturday with a few isolated sprinkles possible. Get the details of the full forecast on @wcco News at 5 PM!

A flood watch is in place for counties in green through tomorrow morning. Turn around, don't drown. @wcco

This is new since I last saw you...a Severe Thunderstorm Watch that includes the metro. Expect strong storms with wind and heavy rain being the main concerns.

Thanks for watching, Cindi!

@KrystalFrasier Welcome aboard, Krystal!

Time to make it official on here - today is my last day at KSTP. The past 3.5 years have been great, and I'll be sad to go - my coworkers here are absolutely amazing. That said, I'll be staying in news - and in town! A new career chapter starts Monday at WCCO.

@DerekJamesTV Joe & Bill’s Lemonade stand has broken their yearly record! Still have five days to donate to Venmo or the FB fundraiser. Outside shot at $90,000 lifetime for @GilletteChildrn!

@christopherokey Thank you, Chris! That means more than you know. Joe and his family and Bill have a lot of people here at WCCO that love what they’ve done and are doing for others. It sends a powerful message to everyone about community.

@DerekJamesTV sincerely that’s probably my favorite story about Joe’s stand. Our son Isaac has been a classmate of Joe’s ever since preschool. It’s a blast to see people come together for Joe and you captured it so well today. Thank you!

A great story by WCCO’s @DerekJamesTV about Joe & Bill’s Lemonade Stand- benefitting families of @GilletteChildrn. You may even recognize some of the people in the story! @TC_00 cbsnews.com/minnesota/news…

@marissavoss Staudemeyer’s rocks!

It’s Sunday and I’m having a fun day.

That’s awesome news! I hope you sold a lot of pieces.
