I've been a fan of Airshows and aviation since my mom took me to my first show when I was 6 years old. I was hooked! I've made it a point to try to go every year if I can, and this year is one you won't want to miss. It's going to be the biggest airshow ever in the history of Minnesota. The largest airshow in Minnesota has always been the Duluth Airshow, held annually at the Duluth International Airport. This year is going to be the biggest year in its history, and it's happening July 5-6, 2025.

On one of Minnesota's highest points, there is an abandoned radar station that was built during the Cold War. Now you can own this ghost town for under a million dollars. Any takers? 5282 Morning Star Loop on top of Lookout Mountain near Finland, Minnesota, is the site of the former Air Force base. The base was used by the Air Force for the radar surveillance network. It was built after the start of the Korean War in 1950. 27 other radar sites were built in the United States as part of the program.

When the ice comes off the lake in the spring, sometimes people will encounter a fish kill. That's when 25 or more fish are found dead after perishing during the winter months. Many reasons can lead to fish kills, but the number one reason is environmental issues caused by humans. Some fish kills are caused by nature. During the winter months, ice and snow covering the lake reduce sunlight, which can kill vegetation in the lake. Oxygen levels can get so low in the water that the fish die off.

We can sort through their database and rank counties by the number of tornadoes they've experienced since 2000.
