Spring in Central Minnesota

As the saying goes, “April Showers bring May Flowers, “ and with any luck, the hope for warm weather, blue skies and the smell of flowers and trees blossoming will soon become a reality. And as the days grow longer, so do the amount of activities and events in central Minnesota.

An exciting way to kick off spring is to grab the fishing pole, a bag of shiners and head to the lake for the annual fishing opener, set for May 11, 2013. What makes the area perfect for fishing opener is that Gull Lake ranks as one of the top ten walleye lakes in the state of Minnesota. Not only that, but since 1959, the Nisswa Chamber’s Welcome Wannigan serves hot coffee and donuts to the fishermen on Gull Lake boat to boat. Traditionally, Miss Nisswa also is on board the pontoon—rain, shine or snow—¬to welcome the fishermen!

Another exciting event is the May 11th Nisswa Shop, Drop and Stroll – a day where shopping and supporting a good cause are fused together! The day kicks off at 10a.m. and runs through 5p.m. where attendees can shop their favorite stores and stroll the streets where they will enjoy treats, discounts and giveaways. All that is required is to drop a non-perishable food item to the Nisswa Chamber office to show support for the Lakes Area Food Shelf (cash donations accepted as well). For more information, please visit the Nisswa Chamber.

 If you love food and wine, then this April 4 through May 9, Grand View Lodge is the place to be! In cooperation with Minnesota Monthly Magazine, our Fork-N-Cork package is back for spring!
