After a six-year break, the Ramsey County Fair is roaring back—with a new lease on life thanks to a hard-fought $3,500 fee deal that settled a years-long dispute over barn access and ADA compliance. Once on the brink of permanent cancellation, the fair’s revival celebrates century-old agriculture traditions with 4-H projects, petting zoos, and a mobile dairy cow demo—plus adult beer tents and a talent show finale. Running just four days to rebuild momentum, this community staple proves that once a fair disappears, it’s gone for good—so they’re making sure it’s back stronger than ever.

Minnesota’s fishing scene is exploding this spring—with nine new state record catches officially certified by the DNR. Two smashed weight records on certified scales, while seven others set new length marks in catch-and-release categories. Anglers snapped clear photos, measured fish, confirmed species, and ensured each one swam back healthy. Highlights include a 36.25-inch bigmouth buffalo, an 80-inch lake sturgeon, and a record-breaking 31.25-inch blue sucker—the first of its kind since the species joined the program. These achievements spotlight the state’s thriving fisheries and the passion of anglers who help protect them. Dive into the full details on the DNR website.

A Douglas County detective staged a sting operation on Craigslist, posing as a friend to catch an online predator—leading to the arrest of 51-year-old John Michael Keating. Their conversation quickly became explicit, and when Keating arrived for their meet-up, he was taken into custody.

This case underscores law enforcement’s relentless efforts to combat online exploitation and shield children from predators.
