elcome to Press Publications' 2021 Four Seasons Fun Guide.

As a resident of the Twin Cities east-metro area, you have an extensive array of things to do all year-long, and we have included hundreds of them in this guide.

The past year has proven to be a difficult one. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our ability to do many of the things we enjoy. At the time of this guide's printing, many of the community events and festivals, parades, concerts, theatre performances, art exhibits, craft fairs, sporting events, and bicycle and running races that we typically include in our events calendar are still in the planning stages for 2021. Many organizations are offering programs in a virtual format until they can gather participants in person again. Keep up with the latest news and information about local events and happenings throughout the year by reading your local weekly newspaper.

There is always good news! We can enjoy boating, fishing and water sports on our beautiful lakes. We can visit our local parks and trails and go on a family hike or bike ride. We can play golf or tennis with friends, and go hunting or skiing. With some activities and locations having restrictions, we recommend readers call or check the websites we provide prior to venturing out.

Your Press Publications community newspaper will continue to be your best source of news and information during and after this crisis, and we look forward to letting you know about local events, recreational opportunities and leisure activities as they are rescheduled and re-opened. In the meantime, we hope you’ll use this guide to become better acquainted with the recreational activities available in our area.

Also check out the local businesses and organizations who have advertised in this guide and give back to the community in many other ways throughout the year. They

need our readers' support now more than ever!

Our group of locally-owned newspapers includes the White Bear Press, Shoreview Press, Vadnais Heights Press, North Oaks News, The Lowdown, The Citizen and the Quad Community Press. Our readers enjoy our local, relevant news coverage both in print and online, and we enjoy the community’s support through our subscription program. To learn more about our weekly newspapers, visit us at presspubs.com.

Is there something missing from the Four Seasons Fun Guide that you would like us to include next year? Please let us know.

Email your favorite events and activities to news@presspubs.com, as well as your comments on how this guide could better serve the residents of this area. And be sure to read your local newspaper for the most complete news and information happening in your community every week.

Thank you, and enjoy reading!
