April/May 2020

“April showers bring May flowers.” And so does St. Croix Valley Magazine. We are “showering” you with springtime stories, including some equine and floral features that will have you “chomping at the bit” to get outdoors and enjoy spring!

Due to the extenuating circumstances in our community during the creation of this issue, please note that some events/dates and even some business operations may have changed since these pages went to print.

The Hudson Hot Air Affair is a delight for visitors and photographers. Photos submitted via Instagram.

To have your event considered send date, time, location and contact information to stcroixvalleymag@tigeroak.com.
