The weather was ideal for the latest outing to Stillwater. Two educational tours were available which offered information about the first city established in Minnesota. The main street offered many options for noon lunch as well as window shopping. Despite road construction, the group was able to adhere to the planned timeline.
The next outing will be to the Sidekick Theatre on Wednesday, October 30. Two previous trips have been well received. Noon lunch is available at the site and included in the cost. The group will be seeing “Over the River and Through the Woods.” Space is still available so leave an email message or phone message.
Quilters will be taking time to meet in the Sleepy Eye School Cafeteria on Saturday, October 19, beginning at 8 a.m. Participants bring their portable sewing machines, project to work on or complete and an item to share for noon lunch. Conversation as well as quilting ideas are shared throughout the day. A lot is accomplished during the day whereas some may only be able to spend a few hours with the group.
Trunk and Treat is accepting reservations for residents to provide treats out of their trunks or pickup beds. There will be games to play, books to receive and decorated vehicles to observe for this Halloween event. It is held on the Sleepy Eye Public School parking lot on Saturday, October 26, 3-5 p.m. Costumes are encouraged but no weapons.
