We are kicking off Discover Minnesota week with one of the most popular spots in our area and a major celebration.
Detroit Lakes is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year. Starting this week, 150 sail boats with different designs will be displayed around the city.
The city caters to visitors. There’s a mile-long public beach and a myriad of recreation options on both Little Detroit and Big Detroit Lake.
WE Fest is returning to the area after taking 2020 off.
Carrie Johnston with the area Chamber says people who visit often come back because they couldn’t get everything in in one trip.
STOCKBRIDGE â A lively campaign season ahead of next monthâs annual town election includes a two-way contest for a Select Board seat, pitting incumbent Ernest âChuckâ Cardillo against former board member Donald Chabon, who was chairman for two years.
Town Moderator Gary Johnston, a 43-year incumbent, is challenged by Jamie Minacci. Four candidates are vying for two five-year Planning Board posts.
During the recent Democratic Town Committee caucus, candidates seeking endorsement of the party aired their views.
Only committee members can offer endorsements of Democratic or unenrolled candidates at a secret ballot, which was held April 15, with 16 members voting.
At the caucus on the previous day, Cardillo said the current board âworks very well together; if we donât agree on something, we discuss it. We put our points across, vote on it and move on to the next topic.â
