Cooler weather and changing leaves mean another magical summer has gone by and it’s time for our beloved Minne to float into hibernation. She will be departing the morning of Tuesday, October 8.

All season she has kept a careful watch over Cedar Avenue at the lagoon on Lake Nokomis. Thanks to everyone who came to visit her.

If you’d like to share any of your encounters with her from the summer, please tell her on Facebook.
