Fun Sisters Boutique
The Fun Sisters goal is to provide quality merchandise in a fun environment at reasonable prices. It’s not just shopping at Fun Sisters, it’s a monthly event that you can do with your girlfriends or moms. The boutique is open only one weekend a month and it will be September 10-14. Stop in at their Stillwater or Minneapolis locations for a wide variety of purses, shoes and accessories.

Frisbee Golf
One of the fastest growing sports in America is disc golf and the Minneapolis area hosts more disc golf parks than almost any other metro area in the U.S. Similar to traditional golf, one stroke is counted each time the disc is thrown and the winner is the golfer with the lowest score. Recommended for anyone ages eight to eighty, disc golf is a great way to get out and enjoy the weather and the company you’re with.

Fort Snelling
Overlooking the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers, Fort Snelling was once the furthest outpost of America in the 1820’s. Today it helps to tell the story of Minnesota from 1820 until it closed in 1946. Stop in the visitor center to see World War II history and enjoy a tour of the Fort by actors dressed in period clothing who share skills of the soldiers, settlers, traders and servants through demonstrations. The historic venue is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays and noon to 5 p.m. on Sundays.
