Minnesotans from border to border, and family, friends, and other relatives can vote for Maple Lake once a day. If they finish on October 25th as the top school in the Midwest region, they will advance to the finals, with the winning school walking away with a million dollars to upgrade their football field.

How Can You Vote?

It's pretty easy to do. The first thing you need to do is go to the T-Mobile Friday Night 5G Lights website, FridayNight5GLights.com, or through the T-Life app, with a valid mobile phone number.

You'll want to vote in the Midwest division for Maple Lake.

As of Monday morning, the school is in 8th place in the Midwest division, but the leading school is within striking distance.

A Lot Of Money At Stake

According to T-Mobile:

"Every finalist will receive $25,000 for their school and a T‑Mobile-hosted Home Game Celebration, while fans can vote daily to help their favorite school advance. One Division Champion from each region will score $250,000, a Gronk Fitness gym valued at $90,000 and “The Big Deal” student leadership award prize of $5,000 — and remain in the running for the $1 million grand prize."

So what are you waiting for? Spread the word and get to voting!

6 Photos You Won't Believe Were Taken In Minnesota

After having spent the greater part of the last three weeks outside Minnesota, it has been great to be back. We live in a very beautiful part of the country. From the North Shore's jagged cliffs to the rolling croplands of southern Minnesota and to the driftless area near Preston, our state is filled with beautiful sights. I managed to find 6 photos that were taken right here in Minnesota, but when you look at them, you'd think they were taken somewhere else completely. Let's enjoy the land of 10,000 photos, shall we?
