✈️⛷️You’ve heard of Water Ski Days, but do you know Jet Ski Days? Ok, maybe that’s a bit too far, but thrills and excitement are definitely on the menu when we welcome the TC Jet Pilots to town for their big annual sortie this weekend at Hok Si La Park.

“Nestled right against the widest part of the river, Lake City is a little-known waterfront town in Minnesota that feels like a discovery every time I visit. While many skip it in favor of Red Wing or Winona, those who pull over in this quiet community find a place where the pace of life is dictated by the gentle swells of Lake Pepin. It is a town that perfectly balances its deep river heritage with a laid-back, modern charm that makes it one of the most inviting spots in the state.”

We just love this pic of 4 eagles perched over Lake Pepin with the American flag in the foreground. Just in time for Independence Day to boot!
If you love fireworks, bald eagles, big water, and small town Americana, you can’t beat on the 4th of July.
