Perfect 10 Summer Event Season

As we celebrate the 7th day of 80+ degrees after a summer of unpredictable highs and lows, I feel very lucky.  All four of the outdoor events on my summer calendar (Twin Cities Jazz Festival in June, the new Roots Lowertown Music Festival in July, Concrete and Grass Lowertown Music Festival plus the premiere of Festa Italiana in September) benefitted from great weather and with no sign of rain. We all know the impact of steamy hot/cold and chilly days and downpouring rain. Several popular Twin Cities events were hit hard this year. Yes, I am lucky and thankful summer 2011 dates were nearly perfect.

It's Give to the Max Day, the easiest way to donate to non-profits. I had a list and budget; a few click and I was finished.

Festa Italiana is right around the corner!

Harriet Island will be all things Italian on September 23rd & 24th. Check out the latest releases for new events and activities (such as Wheels of Italy showcasing Italian sports cars and the Antique and Classic Boat Show featuring 40 boats form the 1930s to the 1960s), the full line-up of entertainment which spills onto two stages, and the complete listing of restaurant partners.
