    A group of 12 adults and 13 kids are heading to Alexandria this weekend to start a week long Minnesota vacation. I’d like some help with a few logistics if you please:
    What are the hot bass/walleye/Muskie spots right now within an hour of the town.
    Looking for kid-friendly activities – love turtle races, just don’t know where to find them.
    Grandma loves window shopping and is a sucker for a quilt shop.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Pm me if you don’t want to broadcast honey holes…. I understand.

    Thanks.
