Crosby was the site of a moving opening ceremony for "The Moving Wall" on July 22. Members of the Ironton and Deerwood American Legion posts, some veterans of earlier conflicts, formed the color guard that was reflected in the half-size replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C. It was estimated that hundreds attended the ceremony that was just the beginning of six days that the Moving Wall would spend in Crosby Memorial Park on Serpent Lake. The wall is displayed in 22-28 cities around the United States each year. Crosby Mayor Dale Sova said it was a privilege to have the wall displayed and to share the experience with the surrounding area and vets of every era.

Deputy State Fire Marshal Mark Germain stated last week that the investigation into the Carlsona Beach Supper Club fire on April 26 "is still on going." The investigation of TJ's on the Cove is not finished yet either, he added.
According to Doug Pearson, Aitkin County Planning and Zoning, there have been some inquiries into the necessary permits to build a new restaurant.
Ron Wise, owner of the Carlson Beach Supper Club, said there are "plans to rebuild the restaurant with the same architectural elements of the old building." The only difference is that the lake view table area will be expanded, he added.
