Ice Report

While most of the world is enjoying spring I get to report that the ice is mostly off Lake Bemidji today. With a little wind today we should have an official "ice out" by tonight or tomorrow. It just doesn't really look like spring in the north woods until the lakes are liquid and not solid ice. We made it.

The Seasons Change

It is damp and cool in Bemidji, but once the sun breaks out things should really start greening up. The golf course opened this weekend. The snow is gone. It has been a long winter, but it is now safe to say spring is here. Congratulations to all of us for making it......and now enjoy everything we wait for all winter long. Think spring, and get mentally prepared for summer!

Game Day

OK....game day is here. I only wanted to say I don't think I have ever seen Bemidji as excited about anything. I really believe everyone in town will be in front of a TV somewhere at 4:00. A total cross section of our town...everyone is in a ""Go Beavers" state of mind. It's great.

Vintage Patterson's

When you visit Patterson's in Bemidji you're supporting a local business that's been a part of the Bemidji scene for four generations. The Bemidji Pioneer did a nice story on us as we approached our 75th anniversary a few years back.

The Patterson's crew, three generations at the counter!

Abe Patterson, the store's founder, on another snowy Bemidji day.From the article:

'...Steve remembered his grandfather talking about lumberjacks who would come into town to celebrate on the Fourth of July. His grandfather would keep the store open all night and sell the partying lumbermen suits...'

See, Patterson's really has been keeping Bemidji looking good since before you were born!

North Face Apparel

We have just received a great selection of spring clothing from The North Face. Stop into our downtown location (200 3rd Street) and have a look. Then get dressed for the outdoors in North Face and get out there....like maybe going to Washington to cheer on the Beavers in the Frozen Four
