We are getting a weekend of warm temperatures and fairly clear skies. That means central Minnesotans are seeking ways to get out and celebrate. The question is, where should we all go? What do you like to do? We've compiled a list of fun events happening around the area that can turn your boring weekend into one to remember. I know where I'm going to be this weekend. I'll be enjoying the fun at the Brews & Blooms Festival in Princeton at Sunken Ship Brewing.

Sergeant Ryan Sayre joined me to discuss the successful COP House Soccer Camp program, with approximately 180 kids in attendance for last year's event. This year, it will be the 5th annual event, and if you haven't yet got your ticket for your child, you need to do so before they run out. The St. Cloud COP House Soccer Camp will be held at St. Cloud State University's Husky Stadium again this year, so kids will be able to feel like pro players under the big lights on the turf field.

For some reason, when I woke up this morning, this was the first thing I read on Facebook, and it hit me. A friend of mine who lives in Kentucky, Stacy Hunt, posted this message today about her son, Montana. Even though my kids graduated from high school quite a while ago, it still hit me, because I could feel what she was feeling. My middle son Tanner just walked graduation last week for his second degree...and it always hits me...how far he has come.

My good friend and Master Gardener, Joseph Storlien, also an Associate Professor of Environmental Studies at the College of St. Benedict and Saint John's University, shared some valuable information with me that was inspired by recent sightings of Hummingbirds in his yard. Hummingbirds are such interesting and beautiful birds, so how do you attract those beautiful birds into your yard?
