Back in January 1997 I witnessed an unidentified flying object. It was very thrilling and exciting. I’ll never forget it.

I am coming to Duluth in March next year and looking for some information.
Can anyone help?

I haven’t skated for 20 years (and wasn’t so great then) but want to learn. Anyone know of adult lessons in Duluth? Thanks!
My mom lives in the Twin Ports and I’m trying to think of a good gift card to somewhere/something that I can get for her (I won’t be in town). Does the DECC have gift cards? Any ideas? She isn’t in to spas… Thank you!

Sacred Heart Music Center
Concert to Benefit the Damiano Center
$10 suggested donation at the door/children under 16 free
A new wrinkle on the Duluth Does concert series. Come hear local artists do their take on traditional and modern holiday themed music in the confines of the beautiful Sacred Heart Music Center.
Styles run the gamut from choral groups to jazz to Finnish folk music to classical pipe organ pieces. Scheduled to appear include Bill Bastian, Sara Thomsen, The Duluth East Women’s Select Choir, Kanteleen Soittaja, Sam Black, Ellie Schoenfeld and more.
All proceeds to benefit the Damiano Center.
A coalition of student activists from LSC, UMD and CSS have called for an anti-war protest in Duluth on Thursday, the day President Obama is scheduled to receive his Nobel Peace Prize. “You’ve got your prize, now earn it!” is the theme… they’ll be calling out the new Nobel Laureate on escalating the war in Afghanistan, as well as his recent decisions to launch more drone attacks inside Pakistan and station hundreds of US troops on the other side of the globe in Colombia.
No dreary speakers at this protest, just a little noise and fun street theater. Meet up at 4:30 PM at Lake and Superior in front of the Christmas… um, Holiday tree. Bring drums or buckets to bang on, and reflective clothes if you’ve got ’em for safety’s sake. And be ready to take it to the streets.
Anyone have experience with fuel oil companies in the Twin Ports? We’ve been using a company for the last several years, and when we had our chimney cleaned recently, the guy who did the cleaning pointed out there was a huge build-up of sulfuric acid in the pipe and even inside the furnace. He attributed this to the quality of the fuel oil we have been getting from the company we have been using (a company he says he has heard/noticed other such problems with).
So, my question–anyone have advice on a local company that delivers as clean a fuel oil product as possible?
Thanks

Jack Rose, guitarist extraordinaire, died yesterday of a heart attack. He was only 38. In September 2007, he played a rare show with Charlie Parr at Pizza Luce. Only a musician like Charlie could have gotten him to play a show like that. Besides his incredible talent, I will never forget how genuinely nice he was. His unexpected passing is our loss and the music community gains yet another deep hole. More info (as well as music/videos) is available at

A wedding photographer I know is giving away a 2010 wedding photo package this Christmas season. If you or anyone you know is getting married in 2010 please forward this on to them.
Wondering if anyone else has some good before and after pumpkin pics.
