Tailgate

Imagine being a kid and not having many friends. For some of us, that was our reality growing up. We know how hard the lunchroom is when no one wants to sit with you.

And while we are now able to connect with more people at once thanks to technology, youth today are saying they are lonely and feeling isolated. Having someone that they trust to talk to is nonexistent for many youth in our community.

Thankfully, organizations for youth in Southeast Minnesota are seeing kids that they work with thrive thanks to positive mentors in their lives. And one organization, Bolder Options, wants to celebrate with you at their upcoming event called Tailgate. Below is everything you need to know.

Yoga At A Rochester Vineyard

You know you loved something when that memory keeps popping up in your mind. A few years ago, I signed up to attend a yoga class. It wasn't just a normal class at a gym where you do a downward dog. This yoga class was special...it was in a vineyard in Southeast Minnesota.

Yes...warrior pose in between the grapevines. On Saturday, July 25th, you can experience that for yourself at a vineyard in Rochester.
