Great River Children's Museum announces June 10 opening in downtown St. Cloud
After many months of construction, one of the newest additions to downtown St. Cloud will open its doors next month. The long-awaited Great River Children's Museum will open to the public June 10, the museum announced Thursday. The museum will also host a grand opening celebration June 20 to 22, though details on the event are yet to be announced. The 31,000-squar- foot space will include eight core exhibits that provide interactive and educational experiences for children, such as its "Climber to the Clouds," "Great Big River" and "Headwaters" exhibits. It also has space for workshops, birthdays and corporate events. The museum also includes a rooftop deck for outdoor learning opportunities. "Everything is done with such intention, and that is part of the reason it takes a long time. It's not just the money… our children's museum is a unique children's museum, it was designed with hundreds of community voices involved," Executive Director Cassie Miles said in November about the process of creating the museum's exhibits. Museum tour: Lawmakers tour Great River Children's Museum in St. Cloud ahead of opening day The concept for the children's museum started in 2012, and construction on the site at 111 Seventh Ave. S. started last year after the Minnesota State Legislature approved a $7 million award for the construction phase of the project. The project cost $17 million total, according to the museum's website and will employ about 25 to 30 people. It also anticipates seeing 130,000 guests annually. Families looking to visit the museum can purchase a single-day general admission tickets for $14 per person, though children younger than one year old can enter for free. Memberships are also available as part of the GRCM's membership program that launched last month. A membership costs $150 for two people, and it is another $50 for each additional person. Membership includes unlimited access for a full calendar year, beginning on opening day, according to a release. The GRCM is also part of the Museums for All program, which reduces the price of daily admission for those receiving food assistance by presenting their EBT card and a photo ID. Downtown's future: St. Cloud business owners divided over courthouse relocation plans, solutions in the works Miles said last November that she wants all visitors to feel proud of the children's museum, and it is also meant to provide a welcoming and "joy-filled experience" for any child. The Great River Children's Museum will be open 9 to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays, except for later hours 9 to 7 p.m. Thursdays. It will be closed on Mondays.

Man charged in killing of teen rapper arrested after months on run
A hunt that lasted for nearly four months ended on Tuesday when a man wanted for the killing of a teen in St. Cloud was arrested in Minneapolis. St. Cloud PD confirmed that Bernard Bowens, 19, was taken into custody after being found on the 2700 block of North Upton Avenue. Bowens was charged via warrant with 2nd- and 3rd-degree murder in the death of 17-year-old rapper Layson Davis, who was found shot in the chest in an apartment building at 230 Second Street Northeast just before 3 a.m. on Feb. 2. Davis' family described the teen's death as "the most unimaginable incapable pain we have ever felt," saying in a GoFundMe campaign: "This is a suffering." Another victim, a 19-year-old man, Victor Diaz, was also found with critical gunshot wounds and was hospitalized. Another man, Kevon Washington, has been charged with 2nd-degree attempted murder and 1st-degree aiding and abetting aggravated robbery. Charges say the shooting happened during an alleged gun purchase, with Bowens meeting with Davis and Diaz, only to struggle over the gun. Bowens then grabbed the gun and started running away, getting into a shootout with Davis that resulted in his death. Washington and two other men then allegedly entered the building and fired at Diaz, critically injuring him. Bowens is being held in Benton County Jail pending court hearings. The St. Cloud Times reports that while on the run, Bowens sent a message to the office of Gov. Tim Walz, leaving contact information for his friends, asking for a "one-to-one conversation." "I'm just a young man that ended up in a bad predicament, you('re) my last chance at hope so please find it in your heart to contact me," he allegedly said.

St. Cloud Police investigation yields suspects in ‘Vanish' graffiti vandals
The St. Cloud Police Department announced charges are pending against two people for spray painting 'Besh' and 'Vanish' on buildings across the city. A May 27 release states charges are pending against two suspects, a 22-year-old St. Cloud man and a 16-year-old Kansas boy who is temporarily living in the Granite City. Allegedly, the 22-year-old primarily wrote 'Besh' in downtown St. Cloud, with a few other locations across the city, causing 'thousands of dollars' in damages. Meanwhile the 16-year-old would write 'Vanish' in the city's downtown and south side, causing more than $3,000 in damages, according to police. The police department said multiple charges have been sent to the Stearns County Attorney's Office. Authorities in the release said they'll continue working with businesses and community members to investigate graffiti. 'Graffiti will not be tolerated in this city and continued police resources will be utilized to seek criminal charges on any individual that wants to vandalize property in the City of St. Cloud,' SCPD wrote in a release.
