Well it’s the weekend and I thought I would share with you some things going on in the surrounding communities to do with the family on this beautiful day. At KIA od Duluth they are holding Drag Races & Car show, Duluth, Mn September 9th: Event time is 9am – 5pm at 300 Garfield Ave. September 10th: Drag racing commences at 9am – 5pm, Car show after 9am Contact 218-628-9996 for any questions.

This is always a great thing to do with the kids or great friends touring a local farm in Hibbing and chatting with local urban farmers at the community gardens in Virginia on Saturday, Sept. 9. Mr. Ed’s Farm near Hibbing will be hosting their Fall Draft Horse Day from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Then stop by the Iron Rangewide farmers market at Messiah Lutheran Church in Mt. Iron from 4 – 7 p.m. The market will feature local farmers and crafters, along with a free cooking class and a noodle-making demonstration, music by local singer and songwriter Josh Palmi, and a silent auction.
Or if you just plan on staying home and doing some yard work here are some tips that I read about for your garden. They say now good time to start planning next year’s garden. Water needs to be kept at one-inch per week and Mother Nature should be kind. Survival through winter should be less stressful. Garden clean-up now will prevent weeds/ diseases in the future. Diseased garden materials should be disposed of in the garbage. Prevent infestations of animals and insects by removing over-ripe vegetation will help.They say this is the best time to shop the local greenhouses to get perennials, shrubs and trees to plant now.
I hope these ideas help you enjoy the weekend and if you feel the need to shop for a home feel free to contact one of our friendly agents here at Perrella, they are always willing to assist you.
