Well, folks, looks like Minot’s got itself a regular hoedown brewin’ today. Downtown’s fixin’ to be livelier than a buckin’ bronco with Ted & Kari strummin’ away while the young’uns get their wiggles out. And if you’ve got a hankerin’ for some grub, there’s more food trucks than you can shake a stick at.
Now, if you’re itchin’ for some night owl action, mosey on down to the Blue Rider. This fella 1PrettyRicky’s gonna be spinnin’ records faster than a tumbleweed in a tornado. And for those of you who prefer your evenings a mite more relaxed – it being National Relaxation Day and all – why not wet your whistle over at Atypical Brewery? Bear’s Kitchen’ll be servin’ up vittles that’ll make your taste buds do a two-step.
Got a guess at today’s celebrity writer? It’s vaudevillian performer, actor, and humorist Will Rogers
