The annual Pelican Fest is a two-day festival celebrating the best of Pelican Rapids, Minn., and embraces traditional fun and games like bingo, water fights, parades, a classic car show and bean bag toss tournament.
Photojournalist Ann Arbor Miller stopped by to capture the event's turkey races, which returned last year after an extended absence, and other Friday evening activities.
