Governor's Fishing Opener Casts Off This Week

 The "Opener" will take place on the Mississippi River in the St. Cloud area, May 11-14. Hundreds of media reps will be ascending upon Downtown starting this Thursday.
We will ALL have an opportunity to meet with a variety of media outlets (hundreds) to be able to tell our story so they can get out there share all that we have to offer. Explore MN Tourism estimates the return for cities that host the GFO is about $3-$5 million worth of media exposure.
Taste of Downtown is planned for Thursday, May 11, 11am - midnight. Please show our guests we're extremely proud of our businesses and where we live. Event Schedule Link
