Only in MN

Well then, YOU tell me where else. Art Shanties, modeled after ice shanties used by fishermen. And indeed some of these are inhabited by fishers and limnologists. But also by knitters and musicians, DJs and cyclists, actors and curators.

Awesome. This year, finally thick ice. The shanties are a decent poke out there and not all huddled close to shore as in years past. Lovin’ it.

Best is the mobile shanty. No, not the one where you make mobiles; though it’s nice too. The one you pedal and drive! A fine, communal, pedal-powered effort. Shanty of Misfit Toys is a return and hard not to love. Ice museum shows wonderful creativity. Karoke, plane wreck, post office, radio station, shanties as robots or pinhole cameras. What’s not to like? One weekend left people.

Do itttt.
