It is hard to miss a weekend during the summer in Minnesota as there is so much going on. <\/p>\n
This coming weekend is a great case and point… <\/p>\n
The North Star Bike Festival<\/a> starts Thursday and goes through Sunday with some great bike racing. Hopefully Nadia will want to ride in the kid race! <\/p>\n Saturday is also the grand opening of the Green Line<\/a> with events at each stop along the way. And World Refugee Day<\/a>. And National Get Outdoors Day<\/a>. And the Stone Arch Bridge Festival<\/a>. And Midsommar<\/a>. And overnight is the Northern Spark<\/a> festival and Greenway Glow<\/a> event. <\/p>\n Sunday is Father’s Day. Several of the festivals continue on this day of rest! And alot of places have special Dad events.<\/p>\n I’m sure I’m missing other great things, like races, sporting events, and other cool little events. What are you doing this weekend?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It is hard to miss a weekend during the summer in Minnesota as there is so much going on.
