Biked to Stillwater today and hung out at their giant pumpkin fest. They had a Pumpkin regatta in the St. Croix river, with people paddling in carved out pumpkins. Only one guy finished without the gourd taking on water

I’m pretty sure when compared with Paul McCartney and Neko Case, seeing The Cactus Blossoms and a short film festival on a paddle boat is the least cool of the three, but it was a really nice night for a boat ride 🙃
