Happy Friday! Yikes - it sure is windy out there! I haven't even looked in the yard to see if anything was blown around overnight but did see a neighbor post on facebook it blew the soffits and fascia off their house and another reported a tree fell across the street and totally blocked. I hope you don't have/get any damage.

We're in for a wintery weekend, but it looks like most of us won't get hit with winter weather until late on Saturday, so there's still time to get errands done and maybe fit in some fun too.

If you missed our Wednesday email, you might want to check it out HERE for our 2026 Minnesota Citywide Garage Sale list, Free Thursday Nights at the Minnesota History Center, Red Wing Arts FREE Community Artmaking tomorrow, Holiday gas coupons and more.

This is a BIG weekend for Maple Syrup events and we have more than a dozen happening all over the state! If this weekend doesn't work for you there are more on the next couple of weekends too.
