A Break from the
Holiday Hub-Bub
If the holidays were a bit taxing on
your nerves, we have New Year’s Eve
solutions for you! Whether you need
alone time with your someone special, or
just want to get your kids away from
their normal environment for some
uninterrupted family time, Grand Rapids
is close enough to be convenient, but
far enough away to be an escape. Area
 hotels
and resorts are offering discounted
packages over the New Year’s Weekend so
you can relax, recharge, or reconnect
with the special people in your life.
Get a massage, go see a movie, try
dogsledding, enjoy dinner out and a good
glass of wine, or just sit by the
swimming pool – it really is that easy.
Large cabins are still available for big
families or a couples’ weekend with
friends, or try a local hotel or B&B for
a truly relaxing getaway.

4th Annual
Pink Ribbon Ride
Minnesota’s 4th Annual Pink Ribbon Ride
will
be
held in Grand Rapids at Sugar Lake Lodge
on January 8 & 9, 2010. The Pink Ribbon
Ride is a snowmobile fundraising ride to
support breast cancer patients during a
financially difficult time. While other
fundraisers support cancer research, the
dollars raised during the pink ribbon
ride are used to help those undergoing
treatment to offset the cost of
treatment and daily needs. A banquet,
silent auction, and guided trails rides
are part of this festive weekend. To
join the fun as a ride participant,
banquet attendee, or volunteer, visit
Pink Ribbon Riders for more
information.
It’s January--We
thought you could use a good laugh.
The idea of January in Minnesota may not
warm your heart, but a good laugh and
evening out at the Reif Center surely
will. For those who love comedy, January
is your month as the Reif Center
features three outstanding comedic
performances.

The Reif
Center's January
performances include a
number of comedies, such as
the Church Basement
Ladies. |

hotel or resort will book your theater
performance tickets for you and have
them waiting for you at check-in at the
front desk.
Only in
Minnesota
 Since Minnesota introduced a conceal and
carry firearms permit system last year,
we’ve seen a proliferation of signs that
announce where firearms are not
permitted. Those with pets
are usually well informed by similar
signage of where their four-legged
friends are not permitted. Now, those
traveling with hockey sticks, be
forewarned....there are limits to where
you can play hockey. (There must be a
good story behind the need for posting a
sign.) |
