don't miss author eric dregni
Get ready for the Minnesota Quiz on July 3rd starting at 3:15 p.m. with Minnesota author Eric Dregni, who has written numerous books about his travels through the US and Europe. His titles include: Impossible Road Trip, Midwest Marvels, Weird MN, In Cod We Trust, For the Love of Cod, Vikings in the Attic, and more.
Come test your knowledge of our fair state! Only in Minnesota is civic pride measured by the size of a town’s roadside sculpture. Much-loved monuments and larger-than-life replicas add character to their surroundings, intriguing and amusing visitors as they pass through town. In Minnesota, tourists visit a talking Paul Bunyan or are befuddled by the Spam Museum. Regional travel expert Eric Dregni takes on a slightly off-center tour of the bizarre—and the beautiful—across the state and directs road-trippers to the one-of-a-kind oddities that cause drivers to turn off the interstate in awe.
This activity is made possible by the voters of MN through a 2025 Creative Individuals grant to Eric Dregni from the MN State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
AUTHOR KENT NERBURN VISITS END OF JULY
Save the date: Kent Nerburn will visit Crosslake Area Library on July 28 at 3 p.m.
