The Perfect Gift

A look ahead to September/October

Coming this fall in Minnesota Moments, we'll get you ready for the changing of seasons by looking at some traditional autumn topics. One is a piece on the St. John's University football program and its tradition of excellence under long-time Coach John Gagliardi. Two other stories that will be sure to warm you inside and out for the cooler weather ahead - a piece on soups and one on quilts. And, as always, you'll read essays from our readers and contributors as well as stories on house, garages and much, much more.
