Common Closet is "Best Thrift Store in Minnesota" by WCCO
If the little store (that is so much more) is a little buffed up, there is a good reason. Because of its big heart, The Common Closet Thrift Store was voted the BEST THRIFT STORE IN MINNESOTA through a poll sponsored by WCCO TV's Best of Minnesota!!
Kayak, SUP, Fat Bike - It's Going to be a Great Year of Adventuring!
We want to make sure
everyone in the tourism industry down along the Mississippi and Lake Pepin gets the skinny on what we are up to this year. We have a few new things going on, like
rentals - kayaks, stand up paddleboards, and fat bikes are for rent this year, we have new tours - like our SUP tour, our customizable large
group tour, and our inn to inn
cycle tour.
Yes, we know that's quite a bit, but just like you we're passionate about the beauty of our region and being able to share that with others. So check out what we have going on, call or email anytime with questions or better yet,
join us for a paddle.
Looking forward to a great season,
Michael Anderson, Owner/Guide Broken Paddle Guiding
