The mask mandate is lifted – anyone else going out to buy lipstick? Don’t forget that local businesses may still require masks – please be kind and support local.

Check out the Stroll at Sherburne celebrating World Migratory Bird Day on Saturday 10am – 2pm at the Oak Savannah Learning Center, Sherburne County Wildlife Refuge in Zimmerman. This is a beautiful place to walk or drive through. Here is a video I made of the Prairies View Wildlife Drive at the Refuge.
