Check out weekend

Are you part of the stay at home crowd? Well, check the various festivals around the area. Great way to see other parts of the state and learn local history. Almost every city and village has a weekend festival. Most of them have some reference to heritage, culture or history. The are Nordic Days and German Fests and other local color events. Most come with an arts and craft fair. Many have carnivals and rides and tours of the area.

What a great to learn about people and the history of the state. This a hard working area with rich heritage and marvelous stories of survival. Towns that traveled, invention of mass bus transportation, and wonderful and sad stories of Native Americans. The stories of immigration and freedom and struggle against the elements are all right here.

Check out a village festival and make history come alive.
