It’s not your imagination, June has been WINDY

It’s not your imagination, June has been WINDY

The really warm start to June may have escaped you, it’s a summer month after all so the warmth is expected, but I doubt the wind has blown by you without notice. Gusty breezes have made themselves well known over the last few days with what has felt like one long never ending gust. While Minnesota is a fairly breezy place, especially farm country across the western half of the state, the first half of June has been a bit unusual.

Somerset drive-in to host Garth Brooks concert

One of music?s biggest superstars is testing out a new way to put on a concert while keeping those in attendance as safe as possible. Garth brooks is creating a concert for drive-in theaters on June 27th. There are 300 drive-ins on board including a few near the metro. You can catch it at the Elko Drive-In or River?s Edge near Somerset, Wisconsin. Tickets go on sale Friday, June 19th at 11am through Ticketmaster. It?s $100 per car with a max of six people per vehicle. The owner of River?s Edge, Steve Kaufman, just installed a new LED screen this year. It?s one of only a few in the country and it happens to be suspended over a full size concert stage. They were approached about doing music at the drive-in by Encore Live a month ago. If this event is successful, Encore Live has 19 other artists interested in doing a similar Drive-In concert.
