We are officially LESS THAN ONE MONTH away from our FIRST Annual Fourth of July Boat Parade! 🇺🇸🚤

Our community has asked for more local events during Fourth of July week, and with America celebrating its 250th birthday, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to create something special for residents and visitors alike!

We’re hoping to make this an annual tradition, so grab your boat or pontoon, deck it out in your best red, white, and blue swag, and join us for an unforgettable celebration on the water! 🎆🌊

Please remember to abide by all Minnesota boating laws and safety regulations while participating.

This event is FREE and open to both local residents and visitors!

Flashback Friday ✨

Downtown has been the heart of our community since the late 1800s — a place where neighbors gathered, businesses grew, and memories were made for generations. ❤️

Same streets, same city, different centuries.

As we look back at these historic storefronts and compare them to today’s downtown views, it’s amazing to see how much has changed… and how much still feels familiar.

Who remembers these storefronts? Which downtown businesses or buildings bring back memories for you?

📸 Then vs. Now photos coming your way!
