One of our favorite topics to tell you about are all the great things happening in the Twin Cities region at special times throughout the year.  Spring is always special because it marks the beginning of the outdoor activities season.  The Twin Cities and Minnesota have so much to offer. If you happen to be an outdoor enthusiast, and we are moving you to this area, you are in for a treat. Even if you are not an outdoor enthusiast, you will find something for everyone to enjoy.
