On April 20, 2012, more than 800 high school students spent the day sprucing up our community parks, trails, gardens, and other locations. THANK YOU to everyone who helped: FFA organizers, students, teachers, community volunteers, photographers, and school administrators. We're looking forward to next year! **************************** Thanks for your help on the trails The community has cleared buckthorn, put up signs and maps, and added trail markers. The work isn't finished, but it's now easier to hike Memorial Park on Sorin's Bluff and the Billings-Tomfohr Nature Area on Coon Hill. We'd like to thank these folks: High School Cross Country Running Team Xcel Energy workers Coon Hill neighbors Red Wing Mountain Bike Organization Aurora Cross Country Ski Club Red Wing FFA students Audubon Minnesota **************************** Enjoy these outdoor walks Warm weather is here!

By walking briskly a total of 30 minutes daily, you're on your way to better health. Do it in small doses and you can fit it into any busy schedule. Take 10 minutes at lunch, after work, and after dinner. Try it for seven days this week and feel the difference! ***************************** Take a Historic Walking Tour Our cooler temps and turning leaves make this week the perfect time for a historic walk around pretty Red Wing. Whether you're a visitor or life-long resident, you'll discover something new. Click here for a pamphlet that guides you on three historic walks near downtown. Learn about Red Wing's stories, architecture, and characters from the past. Afterward, venture to 7th and Bluff Streets, turn right up to 8th, and meander up the Cow Path to the top of Sorin's Bluff. It's one of Red Wing's best-kept secrets ... check it out! |
