4th of July

The Mighty Thomas Carnival has been coming to the DECC parking lot for as long as I can remember.  But, one year in particular stands out for a couple of reasons, one it was just us kids because one of us had just gotten our license (early 80's) and two, it was the first time I rode a carnival ride called "The Caterpillar" (I think that's what it was).

Are you proud to be an American? Maybe, but you'd be hard-pressed to be as proud as the people in this state.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commision has sent out a recall notice regarding a certain brand of fireworks sold in Wisconsin and a few other states that have exploded unexpectedly when lit!

The Northland is ready to celebrate the birthday of America with a number of community festivals and fireworks displays commemorating the holiday. One of the biggest attractions for many of these festivals and celebrations is the fireworks display. So, when and where are these fireworks shows?

If you have not experienced a 4th Of July in Cloquet, then I suggest you bring the family and spend some time there this year.

June is flying by and the 4th Of July will be here in a flash.  If you're still not settled on your plans for the holiday, the City Of Superior has a full day of activities scheduled. There is a little something for everyone in the family, and it all begins at 11:00 a...

This year’s fourth I didn’t host anything, I didn’t have big plans, but it was definitely one of the best Fourth of July’s I’ve ever had.

Now, this is how you salute your country.

The Fourth of July is upon us, which means America is about to be home to a slew of birthday parties from sea to shining sea.

Everyone heads north to the Twin Ports area to find some peace from the big cities, Duluth and Superior offer that getaway while still being in a city.. I always get emails from people heading up here from other states and southern Minnesota asking what to do while in the area. There are quite a few things, but the bigger ones I've got listed here.

Yes, fireworks are legal in Minnesota. The little snakes and pop-its, cone sprinklers, and of course sparklers. What about all the fun stuff?

Parking for the Fourth of July can be a nightmare, and you definitely don’t want to be this guy.
