Central Minnesotans have been waiting nearly a year for life to get back to normal after the COVID-19 pandemic forced several of our favorite annual events to cancel or postpone. Many of our favorite summer traditions just didn't get to happen, or at best were modified versions of what we've known and loved. Many of us still have hope that this summer will look a lot more like what we've been used to. To help you keep it all straight, here's a list of what we know is happening and also what we know has already been canceled.
