1) Whistling Well Farm:

Y'all ready to dance to the beat of some live music and crunch into some Minnesota-grown apples? Whistling Well Farm is opening, and they've got a season filled with family fun, live tunes, and – wait for it – Emmy the dog and Midnight the cat. Tell me, where else can you find a lineup like that?

2) Swan and Bower:

Fall in love, baby! Swan and Bower are inviting you to shop till you drop. They've got vintage, boutique, home, and gift goodies to make you swoon. And if you don't find a treasure, you'll at least find a memory, and that's priceless.

3) Pine Harbor Christian Academy:

Hey, parents! Get ready to be talked into some fun by your little ones. Bounce houses, scavenger hunts, and the Teddy Bear Band? Your kids will be dragging you there, and you'll be thanking them later. Sounds like a party to me!

4) Olive Dogs Grooming Salon:

Charlie the dog got the VIP treatment, and guess what? He's up for adoption. Somebody, give this sweet boy a forever home. He's a pro at snuggling, and who doesn't need that?

7) Hastings Senior Health & Living:

Here's a shout-out to Mayleen, the employee of the month. She's rockin' it in the kitchen, and her manager wants ten more like her. Can we clone people yet?

8) Ripe Radish Farm:

Who needs a Major League when you've got Veggie Baseball? Onions and zucchinis are the stars here, and they're having a blast. Swing by and join the fun!
