WINONA, Minn. — As police officers swapped notes about their Steamboat Days experiences, the consensus was that it went well. An exception — a major one — was a near riot outside a downtown bar. Two arrests resulted. There also a celebrant whom police escorted out of the Steamboat Days beer tent as unruly and no longer welcome. Also too: A man who had been at the beer tent crashed his car into a tree off Interstate 90. For the weekend Police Chief Tom Wiliams beefed up night patrols by four or extraofficers.
