"Brotherhood and Bar-B-Q: A Summer Tradition Lives On"


 On July 8, 2025, Cataract Lodge #2 and Minnehaha Lodge #165 gathered once again for their beloved annual Joint July Meeting and Bar-B-Q. This tradition, now going strong for over two decades, began 23–24 years ago when Cataract Lodge had to part with its Richfield building to make way for the new Best Buy headquarters. In true Masonic spirit, Minnehaha Lodge welcomed us with open arms and offered a new home where our fellowship could continue to thrive.

The evening was as warm as the summer sun — full of laughter, good conversation, and the mouthwatering aroma of Bar-B-Que ribs and chicken. After a hearty dinner shared among friends and brothers, we moved into a joint stated meeting that reflected the unity and shared history of our lodges.

Adding his own flair to the gathering, the Most Worshipful Grand Master Bob Davis joined us in his favorite Hawaiian Hula shirt — a reminder that Masonic gatherings can be both meaningful and fun.

It was a beautiful summer evening, filled with Brotherly love and the joyful spirit of fraternity — truly, a good time was had by all.
