By Annie Stefanko

Only 201 days 🕗until the next Art In The Hollow! Let the prepping and planning begin!

Only 201 days 🕗until the next Art In The Hollow! Let the prepping and planning begin!

Thank you all who came out to Art in the Hollow last weekend!
Here are some snapshots of the stage.

Every summer, this festival celebrates the history of Swede Hollow Park; a place that reminds us that our city is built on communities of immigrants- from its "Pig's Eye" days to our current days.

We were shocked to find out, a few days later, that one of our performers was detained and placed in custody in Sherburne County.

More info to follow... but in a time when our rights are threatened and justice cannot be taken for granted, it's important to pay attention and support each other.
