Best Poutine I’ve Ever Had Was From A Minnesota Food Truck
As soon as I finished eating the poutine, I returned to the window of the food truck and asked where they would be tomorrow. It was that good. We were at the Aurora Parade for Independence Day (the parade is actually on the 3rd), and we planned to eat at the parade.

Poetry reading highlights MN herons Aug. 1
Come celebrate the diversity and beauty of Minnesota’s herons at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum (MMAM) on August 1 from 5-7 p.m. Herons are emblematic of life on the upper Mississippi; their lean silhouettes, as they stand in the evening light, seem to define the wildness and beauty of our region. At the August 1 event, four poets featured in the recently published anthology “Broad Wings, Long Legs: A Rookery of Heron Poems” (North Star Press) will use poetry to evoke the mysterious hold these birds have on us. In addition, a wildlife biologist with the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge will give a scientist’s perspective on the natural history of herons.
