Fun things to do in the area
I’ve become accustomed to being awakened before sunrise by all the logging operations and chippers around our house. I’m not sure when it will end. I assume it will go on and on for awhile. But this weekend, I was pleasantly surprised when instead of that old familiar drone and moan, I heard gun shots …
I’m so tired of talking about the weather! Enough already! It looks like Summer is making a fashionably late entrance and it’s safe to come out and play now – and just in time for the 4th of July! My father inlaw has made jokes for years that he doesn’t put away his long underwear …
What a glorious day for our fishing opener! The scenes from Yellow Lake say everything. Yellow Lake is our largest lake and anyone who knows how to operate a rod and reel will tell you it’s our best fishing lake. Trucks and trailers were lined up as far as the eye could see at Jeffries …
In 2005, plans began in Webster for the expansion of the public library. The long road of finding a location and raising the funds has been underway for six years and finally this year, the Library Board has something concrete to work with, literally.

Fort Folle Avoine did a fabulous job last night. Their annual dinner was a classic! The late afternoon sun was so perfect in this rustic historic setting and the appetizers and wine tasting on the patio protected by canvas canopies made it even more romantic. Dinner in the great hall was a multi-course delight served …
One of the busiest weekends of the summer is proving to be just that again! Based on the traffic, there are a lot of people coming to the area to enjoy the many fun activities and goings on in the area and to spend some family fun Up North with their loved ones. I love seeing …
It seems that summer is going to fall into our laps overnight, after a long stretch of cold and miserable weather. We were very grateful for the 3 inches of rain that fell last week. Our lake levels have risen a bit and at this point, every bit counts! But we are equally grateful for …
Today’s fishing opener has brought scads of traffic to the area. The roads are full of traffic and the boat landings at the major fishing lakes are full of trucks and boat trailers. We thought the restaurants would be crowded last night after witnessing the increased traffic levels, but not so. The fishing folk must …
