Anyone here been to a wedding at Creekside Farms in Rush City, MN & stayed at Grand Casino Hinckley (in Hinckley,,MN) that would be willing to answer some questions for me? Or even if you're familiar with those areas(venues).

My son's future wife is planning their wedding at Creekside, she lives about 2.5 hours away from the venue. My son is living in Illinois while going to grad school. They met in MN while at college , he just recently left for grad school. We are from Texas & are not familiar with the areas.

Since we're hosting the Grooms Dinner it's looking like our only option is doing it at Grand Casino. The bride informed us 70 people would be attending. I'm curious if anyone here has had or been to 1 there and your thoughts? Sounds pricey to me.

But a bigger problem I'm looking to solve is transportation for minimum # of people from venue to the hotel AFTER the wedding. Hotel doesn't offer shuttles. I'm looking for a large enough one for about 25 people. Really wish ya'll had more Ubers!

Any helpful information to guide me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. This TX mom is stressing out. Wedding is June 2025. Thanks.

I’m trying to find a decent spot to fish between my gigs in the area.

The Kettle River looks great, but I’d love some advice on where to go and fish without hiking too far.

Open to anything in the area!

Thank you

Not sure how often this gets posted but I think this site is really helpful for people looking for assistance and referrals. https://www.minnesotahelp.info/

Good evening everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone is willing to giveaway left over deer bones during the hunting season, stop them from going to waste.

I'm located in the twin cities area and will drive to you or your butcher.

Appreciate it!

Did he drop out? Because I haven’t heard any bat shit crazy things from him lately.

Kind of a weird question, so I'll clarify. I have a felt hat that I want an exact copy of in a different size. I'm looking for someone like a hatter or costume shop that can make a felt hat that is roughly the size of a fedora, just styled a little differently. Does anyone know of a shop I could look into for that kind of work?

I'm getting ready to go vote tomorrow (yay early voting!) And the only race I'm undecided on is our chief justice.

Typically when someone challenges an incumbent judge, the challenger is either batshit crazy or the incumbent is horribly corrupt. But, that doesn't seem to be the case as far as I can tell. I'm leaving Hudson since she was appointed by Walz, but want to make sure I have all the information first.

Thank you!

Edit: oh boy facepalm. LEANING Hudson

But also, thanks everyone! I did find the website after I posted, so yeah, definitely voting incumbents.

Hi! Does anyone know of a good place to get parts and service for old Nordic Tracks? There used to be a guy in Jordan who repaired and sold them, but his website is gone.

My gf and I are looking to do some fall camping, and looking for campgrounds with some private space. Camping around families is not really our preference. What are your favorite spots? Ideally something within 2 hours from Minneapolis.

Thanks :-)

Hey all,

Looking for a state park to camp in in mid October, Fri 11th-Tues 15th to be exact. On the DNR website it looks like there’s very, very limited availability. Is it too late to be reserving a campsite on that timeline? I feel like that’s pretty late in the season.

They are building a Coborns right across the street from my house in the metro, the first location in the metro I believe. I usually shop Aldi but it will be nice to have something 30 seconds away, instead of 6 miles. What do you guys think about the store?

So I live in hud housing and we have new owners that are extremely strict. Well we had inspections come up before actual hud housing comes threw and when the owners came they noted a bunch of stuff they didn't like and stated i had to be on a weekly inspection and take pics of the things I had to work on, some of these things I understand like not having ext cords, no stickers on doors or tape , my son had to remove his loft bed, they stated I had to fix the trim even though it's been falling off and been a issue since I moved in, dust my fans and vents better , list goes on.... now fast forward I've been doing this a month and now they want pictures of everything 🙄, I feel like my rights are being taken advantage of. I have 3 kids and am doing this on my own! Help please! I need input

Hey all it’s that time of year again… are there any apple orchards within a reasonable drive of the cities that are not geared toward families? Still providing a nice orchard experience without hordes of children running around? TIA!

I have never had a desire to have the same last name as my husband so I kept my last name when we got married in September 2022. Now as we start to talk about kids I am fine with them having his last name but I would like to have some association by name with them. I was thinking the best solution since I don't love the idea of hyphenating would be to have my husbands last name as my middle name. That way most of the time I can still go by my given name, and since a lot of the time you don't have to write your middle name it wouldn't make a difference. But with anything associated with my kids like daycare and school I can write my full name and include my middle name which would just look like it was a part of my last name on any paperwork. I am finding a hard time of how to go about the process of changing your middle name in Mn, and also if it being due to marriage if that simplifies the process. Any thoughts on the best way to go about it? Is it the same process as changing your last name?

I’ll be bringing a backpack and potentially a small carry-on roller. Is it worth it to buy the extra bag before arriving or is there a chance they won’t care?

It seems to me that before arrival it would be $50 and at the gate $55+$10 gate fee ($65).

Would trying to come with a small duffel bag be better or would they likely charge for that as well?

has anyone done the free cna training program and went to work in hospital instead of senior care? i just had the information session the other day and the lady said there are no follow ups after the training program, so I’m assuming there will be no way for them to know whether you decide to work in senior care or not. please let me know!

Can’t find a damn one anywhere.
