Singing Bowls, Oktoberfest, And Crafting Fill St. Cloud Area This Weekender
Have you gotten those Halloween decorations out or your outside decor set up? This weekend looks to be the perfect weekend to do so, with some nice, almost summer-like weather in the forecast.
You can take advantage of the warm temps to maybe get in that car wash and wax before winter hits, or do some late-season yard work. Now, if you want to procrastinate some more (and who doesn't), you can go to downtown St. Cloud for another art crawl and explore some local artwork.
