The Gary New Duluth Bike Rodeo and Child Safety Day takes place this Wednesday at the Gary New Duluth community center. It goes from 2-5pm, and it's a chance for kids to have their bikes checked over. They'll also teach safety tips to kids, and even try out an obstacle course.
When I got my first job at the Wrenshall School pool I rode my bike to work on a SUPER hilly, loose graveled Alcohol Road (yes, that is the actual name of the road).

A local Carlton man, Timothy Soden-Groves, is not only compassionate and giving, he is also insightful. The weather will soon be colder and the holidays will be upon us. Many turn to the Second Harvest Northern Lakes Food Bank to keep meals on the table for their families. Timothy is on a mission to stock the shelves and feed those in need.
