The Northland will be much more colorful this weekend as we get ready for the big game.

My mom is coming to town this weekend and I needed some help planning a fun weekend for the two of us.

Ok, I'll go first.  I've lived in the Twin Ports for 10 years, and I have never been to the Glensheen Mansion.   How does that happen?  Well there has been a couple of times where I've almost gone, but something has come up.   What have you never done even though you've lived here for some time?

Duluth's iconic Aerial Lift Bridge and Enger Tower will be bathed in teal light on Friday, September 16 and Saturday, September 17 as part of an awareness campaign for ovarian cancer.

As we reported earlier today, Duluth Mayor Emily Larson announced that Enger Tower, one of the city's most prominent landmarks, would be lit in rainbow-colored lights in honor of the victims of the shooting in Orlando over the weekend.

Even though foggy, cold, and rainy conditions persisted through the evening, hundreds of people visited Enger Tower in Duluth as it was lit up in purple as a tribute to the iconic Minnesotan and musical legend, Prince.

As fans mourn the loss of musical icon and Minnesotan Prince, the City of Duluth will honor the Purple One by lighting Enger Tower in Purple tonight (Thursday, April 21).

Friday night (September 18) saw Duluth's Aerial Lift Bridge and Enger Tower bathed in teal light as part of an awareness campaign for ovarian cancer.

Sadly, almost everyone knows someone who has had or has cancer.  There are many types of cancer and the month of September is dedicated to raising awareness of Ovarian Cancer.  Not only is money raised, but they bring awareness in a very unique and interesting way that involves two of our iconic landmarks in the Northland and the color teal.

For anyone that has lived in Duluth for longer than a week, there are just certain things you'd be afraid to admit you've never done or places you've never been.

Two of our iconic landmarks, the Aerial Lift Bridge and Enger Tower will, color up on Friday and Saturday, September 12 and 13th for Charlene's Lights, a Foundation for Ovarian Cancer. It will provide fantastic photo ops and there are other events planned for you to get involved.

Fireworks lit the skies over the Twin Ports for 4th of July celebrations, but the Duluth Lift Bridge and Enger Tower offered patriotic light shows of their own. Red, white, and blue lights chased around Enger Tower Friday night, offering a cool and festive spectacle on the Duluth skyline.
