Lakes Country Plans for a Minnesota Nice Weekend

From Friday fish fries to Saturday craft fairs and Sunday church suppers, Minnesota communities can fill a weekend without making it look like they are trying too hard.

Lakes country plans usually start simple and then grow legs: breakfast becomes errands, errands become a farmers market, and suddenly someone is holding a birdhouse shaped like a loon.

This is the beauty of a Minnesota weekend. You do one thing, maybe two, and then reward yourself like you completed a frontier crossing.
