My MN Story


Ahh, Minnesota... Land of 12,000 lakes, to be exact. Land of lore starring lumberjacks and giant blue creatures. Prehistoric land of volcanoes and of ancient rituals honoring our connection to the natural world. Land of dive bars, Dilly Bars and sandbars that bank the mighty Mississippi. There's something about living in Minnesota that triggers a good story. So we're gathering some of those stories and sharing them with you right here - and we're also on the hunt for stories that will make us smile, make us wonder, make us question and make us celebrate what it means to be a Minnesotan.
If you’ve got a story, we want to hear it. Preferably if it’s a story on the short end of the spectrum – say, 2 to 6 minutes – and takes place in Minnesota (or Minnesota should play an important role). So please send us an email at [email protected] If we like your story, you just might get to tell it on camera!
