⏰ Don't forget to ""fall back"" this weekend! Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday, November 2nd at 2:00 AM. Set your clocks back one hour before bed on Saturday night and enjoy that extra hour of sleep!

While you're adjusting your clocks, it's also a great time to check the batteries in your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms. A simple reminder that can help keep your home and family safe!

Proud to join the ribbon cutting at Minnesota North College’s Vermilion Campus in Ely, celebrating their newly renovated facilities made possible by the $3 million in state funding we secured in 2023.

This campus is one of a kind, home to hands-on programs in forestry, wildlife management, and other outdoor heritage programs that are needed in Northern Minnesota. These are exactly the types of programs that keep our region strong and connected to the land.

A big thank you to the faculty, staff, and students who advocated for this project and continue to make the Vermilion campus a leader in outdoor education.
