Wow, I would love to go to any of these events! My dad has been heading up the Straight River clean-up a few times per year in Owatonna, MN so I really have an appreciation for the outdoors. And, thanks to high school, I also enjoy dancing! This will be the third barn dance since I started working here at Coffee Street Inn in April...they take the "southern" part of "southern Minnesota" very seriously! And, a new show at the Commonweal. Lots to do, and plenty of places in town have openings! Come and visit for what may be one of the last nice weekends this year...
