from the publishers

Welcome to the spring 2009 edition of Minnesota Moments.

That’s right, SPRING. Even though you’re probably reading this magazine in late February or early March, our eyes are securely focused on spring. How else does one survive a long Minnesota winter unless one looks ahead just a bit? There are all kinds of stories that will warm you up until Mother Nature kicks in and helps out.

This, by the way, is the beginning of our sixth year of publishing Minnesota Moments. And as we begin the second half of our first decade, we’d like to ask your help in improving this product. Please visit our Web site at www.minnesotamoments.com and fill out a brief readership survey. It’s quick and easy. Complete the survey and you can give a free gift subscription to someone who isn’t a current Minnesota Moments subscriber. It’s a win-win-win situation. You tell us what you like, or don’t like, about the magazine. That helps us improve our publication. And someone who isn’t currently a reader gets a free one-year subscription. Thanks to all of you who have been subscribers to Minnesota Moments through the years.

Mike Nistler and Diane Wimmer
