City-wide garage sales (that we know about) are taking place in Granite Falls, Redwood Falls and Fairfax. But look for sales all along the byway!
Our goal is to get people out-and-about along the 287-mile long Byway to learn about our natural and historic sites. To help achieve that goal, we hope to have people participate by hosting a garage sale and for the public to patronize those sales. Get out and enjoy a spring day along the Byway!
There is no formal structure to this operation. There is no license, fees, paperwork or anything else involved other than a coordination of the May 4th date. We have publicized this at various City Halls, Chambers of Commerce, at various other community garage sales and other outlets along the Byway. We will announce the date, do some publicity and then let the buyers and sellers find each other!
Click here for a geocache program continuing in the summer of 2013 called "Who's who in the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862".
This program started June 9th, 2012.
With ample diversity in the landscapes and cityscapes along the Minnesota River Valley Scenic Byway, there are plenty of locations to pursue this up-and-coming outdoor hobby!
Byway Alliance members have discovered caches hidden in city parks, on public property, near historic attractions and many other appropriate places.
Imagine geocaching along the 287-mile length of this nationally designated Byway as you progress up (or down) the valley while you enjoy all of the natural beauty associated with the Minnesota River. Use the Byway as a destination for your hobby and see what you discover!
Check out our geocache page with links to byway caches!
(Interested “Cache Masters” are encouraged to discuss operating a Byway-wide program by contacting “Kristi” at 320-289-1981x6 or by e-mail at kristi.fernholz@umvrdc.org.)
