ST. CLOUD (WJON News) -- There was a special primary election Tuesday in part of Stearns County. Voters in District 4 went to the polls to vote for an open county commissioner's seat.

The top two vote getters were Amin Ali with 528 votes and Bob Johnson with 486 votes. Those two men now move on to a special general election on November 4th.

Four other men who were on the primary ballot were eliminated.

The vacancy is due to longtime commissioner Leigh Lenzmeir retiring from the position earlier this year.

Beautiful Photos From Clemens Gardens

This weekend was a great one to get out and do something fun. I wanted to destress, so I drove over to Clemens Gardens for a nice stroll through the gardens. What a beautiful place it is. There are flowers everywhere, as well as fountains and statues. These photos only capture part of what's available to see, but in case you haven't had a chance to visit, now is a great time to view them, as everything is in full bloom. Take a look at some beautiful photos and then make a plan to take your own trip. All of your senses will thank you.
