MINNEAPOLIS ― When is a pencil not just a pencil? When it’s on John and Amy Higgins’ lawn across from Lake of the Isles, is 20 feet tall and gets an annual public sharpening that draws crowds of more than 1,000 people. The giant pencil, known as LOTI Pencil, will get its fourth annual sharpening on Saturday afternoon. The event kicks off another Minneapolis summer filled with outdoor art festivals and (hopefully) not a single day below 65 degrees.
