Join the Owatonna Benefit for the Family of Olivia Flores

A Pasta Dinner and Silent Auction benefit for the family of Olivia Flores is being held on Saturday, July 27th at the Owatonna Eagles, and everyone is invited.

Olivia Flores was taken from us too soon due to a tragic car accident. Liv was only 18 and just a few weeks shy of graduation. She lived her life to the fullest, with a big smile on her face. She was an amazingly kind and beautiful soul that touched the lives of so many people.

Most Visited State Parks In Minnesota: Is Your Favorite in the List?

Minnesota has 75 beautiful state parks. The parks have an average of 9,700,000 visitors each year. Interestingly enough, nearly 19% of park visitors come from other states and countries, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Now, my favorite State Park is Jay Cooke in Carlton, MN, but it did not break into the top 5.
