Participants meet for a relaxed community walk at the Two Eagles Trailhead in Luck, with access to the Gandy Dancer Trail off Highway 48. The outing typically lasts around 20 minutes, and anyone is free to go shorter or longer at any pace that feels right. People can arrive and leave as needed, stay a few minutes or the full duration, and bring a friend if they wish. No sign up is required, there is no pressure or set expectations, and conversation is optional. The aim is simple... move your body and connect with other people. This is not a structured fitness class, just an open chance to get outside and walk. Rain or shine, each person decides what works best. Please be kind and respectful of different walking speeds.

The visit takes place outdoors, with shopping inside the buses, and the church building at Pentecostals of New Richmond will be open for refreshments and restroom access.

Step into a Yellowstone inspired celebration at Big Rock Creek as Dutton Days returns with a full day of ranch life fun. Inspired by the Yellowstone series and the Dutton family, this annual gathering features homestyle and wood fired cooking with a pie social, horseback adventures, family friendly activities, a barn dance, live music, and western themed vendors. Bring your own horse for trail riding, or choose 30 or 60 minute guided rides with Limitless Ranch, with pony rides available for kids. Look for the Best Dressed contest and a Hat Bar by Gypsy Brim. Kids can enjoy face painting, glitter tattoos, and bubble braids with Merry Magpie Arts, meet friendly farm animals including mini cows, play in the corn pit, and bounce the day away. Throughout the grounds, experience horse drawn wagon rides, a fire dance performance, and plenty more. Music and movement fill the evening with live tunes from Rex Cactus & the Radio Rangers, line dancing lessons with Billie, and a lively barn dance with The Farmer’s Daughters. Camping, glamping, and lodging are available, including the only weekend of the year when horse camping is permitted at Big Rock Creek. Spots can be reserved.

Set out for a twilight river cruise that blends scenic views, wine tasting, and live music. Boat excursions have introduced visitors to the St. Croix River’s celebrated Dalles since 1906, and this evening outing with Taylors Falls Boat Tours continues that tradition on the water. The experience begins with a tasting from Winehaven Winery and Vineyard. Established in 1995 as Chisago County’s first estate winery and guided by four generations of the Peterson family, Winehaven cultivates grapes across five Chisago Lakes vineyards where lakes and south facing hillsides help fruit ripen later for fuller flavor. The winery has earned more than 200 awards in major New York and California competitions over the past decade. After the tasting, step aboard for a relaxing cruise accompanied by live music from CharlieO. Boarding begins 30 minutes before departure, and this experience is offered on select evenings from June through October.

Wilder Waffles sets up at Market at the 45th alongside a variety of other vendors, serving a menu of sweet and savory options. Look for six kinds of sweet waffles and breakfast sandwiches built on their house waffles, plus specialties like the Italian Honeybee, a stuffed pepperoni pizza waffle, and El Waffle Libre, a Cubano-inspired waffle sandwich. Drinks include hot and iced espresso selections, inventive cold brew choices, and flavored lemonades, with root beer floats and ice cream sundaes rounding things out. Everything is made from scratch with a gourmet touch, and the waffles use a brioche yeasted dough with Belgian pearl sugar that caramelizes as it cooks.
