Winter Holiday 2018

The 30th annual St. Cloud Hospital Festival of Lights gets underway on Thursday night. Each year the hospital holds a special ceremony before they light up their building for the month of December.

This is a free and festive event that will include multiple activities hosted by Cold Spring area businesses

St. Joseph is getting into the holiday spirit with a festive event.

What do you worry about for no reason once winter comes around?

The Tuesday after Thanksgiving has been coined as Giving Tuesday, where people are encouraged to donate money to their favorite charity. The World Giving Index shows that the United States ranks fourth for generosity out of 140 countries.

When I saw this video being shared on Facebook, I couldn't believe it was only an hour from St. Cloud and I had never heard of it before.
