Tomorrow is the 33rd Annual Gallery Hop right here on Howard Street in Downtown Hibbing, and I just have to say — it’s one of my favorite days of the year.

I especially wanted to give a little shout-out to The Living Room, over at 212 E. Howard Street — some of you might still call it JJ’s Ice Cream, old habits are hard to break! 😉

This is their first year hosting, they got some incredibly talented folks:
🎨 Lori Harter
🎨 Ron Harter
🎨 ScottG
🎨 Joan Beth Lewandowski
🎨 Trena Newman

Make sure to pop in, say hello, and enjoy their beautiful work — and bring a friend or two! The whole street will be lined with galleries, and you just follow the balloons to find them all. 🎈

🗓️ That’s tomorrow — Thursday, June 26th
🕑 From 2 PM to 7 PM

It’s such a nice way to support our local artists and see some friendly faces. Hope to see you there!
