Welcome to June in the Twin Ports.There’s plenty of summertime fun; even before the official
summer solstice get to the Twin Ports on June 20th.
Everyone is running either to Duluth or in Duluth this month.
There is a cougar chase (let me clarify; it is the Congdon
School Mascot run now in its fourth year which also includes
the Kitty “K”; a short run just for kids). There is the Annual Garry
Bjorklund Half Marathon, and the big one… the one that brings
people from all over the world: 36th Annual Grandma’s
Marathon with all of its festivities that go with it.
If you like the Antique Road Show type of thing and don’t mind
driving a bit south of the Twin Ports, Moose Lake Historical
Area Society is offering an opportunity to have your antique
appraised. Later in the month, the St. Louis County Historical
Society is having Antique Appraisal at the Depot.
Like to laugh or make people laugh? Sir Benedict's Tavern on
the Lake, and Beaners Central Concert Coffeehouse have
Open Mic nights.
Strolling around Canal Park is always fun, but now you can
enjoy great art too. Check out Blue Lake Gallery, Sivertson's
Gallery and Waters of Superior; all featuring special artists. .
June is Dad’s month so many places offer “Dad’s Day
Specials”. Enjoy “Wild About Dad” at the zoo, and later at
Zinema 2 enjoy a Father’s Day Brunch and the Duke on the big
screen.
I know a bit about art, and I know what I like; and what I like is
the Annual Park Point Art Fair. And I like Rhubarb when it’s
converted from a pesky plant to a delicious pie at CHUM's 8th
Annual Rhubarb Festival.
As we say “farewell” to June, we can also wave to the Rhinestone Cowboy at his farewell tour at Big Top
Chautauqua.
With that, I say “farewell” until next month. There is a more
complete listing on the blog. Also use links to the right of
places where you can get more information about anything
Twin Ports.
