Panels of painted wood or metal hung on a barn or some other building, or even freestanding in someone’s lawn, painted with a quilt design. They are called barn quilts, and usually form a “quilt trail” that goes along a route, adding a splash of color to the countryside and drawing attention to country properties and architecturally, aesthetically…

Last year’s Handmade Home Tour was such a success that Ashley Morken, proprietor of Unglued Market, decided to do it again.

It’s a beautiful weekend to go to Gooseberry Park in South Moorhead. That’s because on Saturday, Sept. 19, Pagan Pride Day festivities will be held at Gooseberry.
As you enter the park, you’ll see a normal gathering of people, similar to a street fair.
There will be rows of tables where you begin discovering a different path than the one you have followed before. Tables covered with soaps, herbs or, on occasion, an interesting array of crystals. You’ll come…

This weekend I made my first-ever visit to Prince’s studios and concert space known as Paisley Park in Chanhassen, Minn., in an attempt to see the Purple One himself.

The conventional wisdom was the higher than normal $40 cover charge…
