For Summer Job feature

Cannon Falls senior and CEO of Blakeslee Lawncare, Hunter Blakeslee has taken the entrepreneurial route in his quest to attain money over the summer.  Pictured above in his 1978 Yazoo lawn mower that he attained from his grandpa, he mows lawns for the townspeople of Cannon Falls. However, the Yazoo was not always in such pristine shape, as it took many days to fix the old machine up. New paint, parts and even a new seat were applied to Hunter’s lawn mower and soon she was humming and purring in no time. Hunter has been mowing 15 separate lawns this summer and when asked how much money he produced through his business he simply replied, “that’s confidential.”
