Couple at all-star game could win mortgage

Chris and Jennifer Asche of Maple Grove are among eight couples who won a trip to baseball's all-star game in Houston by registering at the Century 21 Brainerd Realty office.

On Monday, the Asches will be on the field for the home run derby, sponsored by Century 21. If the all-star home run batter assigned to the Asches wins the home run contest, the Asches will win a $250,000 mortgage.
