A look ahead to November/December

The holiday season is upon us once again. Minnesota Moments will continue the tradition it started last year with a local artist's rendering of a red barn on our cover. We will have 100 limited edition prints signed by the artist for sale with all proceeds going to the charity of the artist's choosing.

Also in our November/December issue, read what local writers have to say about their most cherished holiday memories. Those stories and more are available in Minnesota Moments' holiday issue on sale by Nov. 1.
