Central Minnesotans Are Looking To ‘LURE’ This Country Performer

Are you a big fan of country music? How about yard sales? If you said yes to both, then you’re going to love this! A huge country music superstar is headed to Minnesota this week, and there’s a small chance he might just pull into your driveway for a little shopping.

Country music star Riley Green is scheduled to perform at Lakes Jam this Friday night. (And yes, if you haven’t grabbed tickets yet… good news… There are still some available.) Lakes Jam is set to take place this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, June 26th through June 28th at Brainerd International Raceway.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting.

HEY RILEY!

Riley Green, like most touring artists, will be arriving in the area on his tour bus. But there’s a fun little twist with him: Riley doesn’t just ride the bus. He also travels with a Jeep. That Jeep gets pulled behind the tour bus, and once he rolls into town, Riley likes to hop in and do some exploring. Smart thinking, Riley!

But this isn’t just casual sightseeing.

Riley Green is known for having one particular hobby while out on the road: he loves checking out local garage sales and yard sales in the cities that he visits. Seriously!

UNIQUE FINDS

According to an online article, Riley’s always on the hunt for cool, one-of-a-kind finds. Some of his favorite things to scout for? Fishing supplies, especially wooden lures and vintage fishing tackle. He’s also got an eye out for old guitars and tools.

So… if you’re hosting a garage sale anywhere near Brainerd, Baxter, or the surrounding areas this week, you might want to add a few extra items to your table by looking through your old tackle box.  Who knows? That Jeep that pulls up to your curb might have Riley Green behind the wheel.

Imagine telling your friends that a country music star stopped by your yard sale and bought an old tackle box or a beat-up acoustic guitar that’s been sitting in your garage for years.

If nothing else, it’s just a fun little piece of Lakes Jam trivia to know going into the weekend. Keep your eyes peeled for the Jeep… and happy garage selling, and don't miss Riley at LakesJam.
