Brainerd City Council Members Agreed on a Name for the New City Snowplow

Brainerd City Council members agreed on a name for the new city snowplow. Plow Bunyan will replace Cousin Eddie, the dump/plow truck which was retired this year. 37 name choices were presented to residents in June. The top three vote-getters were presented to the council Monday night. Plow Bunyan was also the top vote-getter of the general public. A close second was Snowbegone Kenobe, an homage to “Star Wars” which a committee member mused may make a future appearance in another poll. Plow Bunyan was approved with no discussion. The newest member of the winter machinery patrol will join Kirby Truckkett, Spirit of Carl Showalter, Snokyo Drift, Sir Plows-A-Lot, And Broom Goes the Dynamite, Slim Grady and Frank the Tank.
