From the Executive Director
Happy June and Welcome to Summer!

It is so great to see Wabasha and Kellogg bustling with people out and enjoying the beautiful weather. We are so lucky to live in an area that allows us to fully embrace all the season has to offer.

May was a whirlwind month with the opening of Grandpa’s Barn and the Spring Seasonal Boutiques, as well as the traditional influx of visitors as the weather begins turning nice. A huge thank you goes out to all of our volunteers for helping us make Grandpa’s Barn a huge success this spring. Your support and dedication does not go unnoticed – we could not have done it without you!

Looking ahead through June, we are excited for more beautiful weather, busy streets downtown, and the beginning of our favorite summer events. Make sure to check out our newly updated website and visit our Facebook and Instagram pages frequently for the latest news and events. When you’re out and about this summer, tag your photos with #onlyinwabasha and we may share them with our followers!

Please reach out to our office if you have any questions, if there is anything you would like to see happen, or if there is anything we can help you with. Thank you and have a wonderful month!

All the best,
Chrissy Dawson
