A special thank you to the City of Albert Lea and Recreation, Alerus, our amazing CVB Board members, and every volunteer who gave their time to help with setup, teardown, and everything in between (we're looking at you Scott and Maria!). Your hard work behind the scenes helped create memorable Wednesday nights for our community all summer long.

What a fantastic turn out with the Farmers Market!

🌻🍅 Farmers Market & Wind Down Wednesday! 🎶☀️

What a wonderful Wednesday for our Knutson Place tenants! 💚

Our tenants enjoyed getting out into the community for a visit to the Farmers Market, checking out local vendors, fresh goodies, and all the fun happening downtown. 🥕🌽🛍️

We also joined in on Wind Down Wednesday, enjoying the beautiful weather, activities, smiles, and great company! There’s nothing better than getting out, supporting our local community, and making memories together. ❤️

We love seeing those smiles! 😊
