BOOK STORE DAY - ST. CLOUD:

In the 70s and 80s, we were told “reading is fundamental,” and Cap’n O.J. Readmore introduced us to famous literary characters. On Saturday, you can recapture the fun of reading with Independent Book Store Day at Books Revisited in downtown St. Cloud. The shop will have 20% off storewide, signed exclusive books and merchandise only available at independent sellers, and complimentary refreshments. You will be able to pick up your Bookstore Roadmap, too, to plan a day out of book adventure much like Cap’n Readmore himself.

Saturday: 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Beautiful Photos From Clemens Gardens

This weekend was a great one to get out and do something fun. I wanted to destress, so I drove over to Clemens Gardens for a nice stroll through the gardens. What a beautiful place it is. There are flowers everywhere, as well as fountains and statues. These photos only capture part of what's available to see, but in case you haven't had a chance to visit, now is a great time to view them, as everything is in full bloom. Take a look at some beautiful photos and then make a plan to take your own trip. All of your senses will thank you.
