Today is the Hibbing Mines and Pines Jubilee Parade and Street Dance. Come on down (or up) to Hibbing for some good times. I hit it off with my wife Christina at this event 10 years ago. If you attend, you’ll see just how improbable that was. We’ll be in town tonight but we’ve learned that the street dance never quite seems as good as that first one so we’ll probably be taking in a movie.

There is no even that exposes the true nature of Iron Range culture quite like our parade/street dance combos that occur all summer long. Come for the bold sociological experiment, stay for the legal consumption of alcohol in the streets. (Actually, those are the same thing).
