Sundays with Stephanie

Happy June 1st! As we go through the Summer, my goal is to send this Sunday newsletter at 9 pm (versus my usual 8 am for the Wednesday and Friday Podcast posts). This gives me a little time to sleep in, enjoy my coffee on the dock, and snuggle time with Stanley in my little cabin on Burntside Lake at the “True North Island.”

In Minnesota, Summer is Memorial Day to Labor Day. It's the best 12 weeks of the year, weather-wise, and while it is brief, it’s magical. Let it begin with festivals, feasts, and fun!

One of my jobs is producing Culinary Markets, which feature Minnesota Makers and a handful of festivals in the Twin Cities. I also sell and sign books, and it’s a fun way to chat with friends and fans of the TV and Radio shows. See me:

• June 14-15 Under the Hennepin Avenue Bridge at the Stone Arch Bridge Festival

• July 25-26 at the Loring Park Art Festival in Loring Park

• August 16-17 at Art In Bayfront Park in Duluth
