Fun City!

 

If we had a city motto it might well be, “Come, let us party together!”

Face it, Winona is a fun city. Steamboat days, Midwest Music Fest, Great River Shakespeare Festival, Minnesota Beethoven Festival, Sandbar Storytelling Festival, Frozen River Film Festival, Big Muddy Brew & Que, - You get the idea … Folks here take their pursuit of happiness seriously.

We ought to. Having fun is serious business – folks from out of town spend a lot of money when they come to Winona looking for a good time. And having a good time is no small part of what makes living in Winona something lots of folks want to do. It’s in everybody’s interest to solidly support and encourage arts, entertainment, and recreation.

And we all need places to play. John Latsch set a high bar with his extraordinary donations for city parks and recreation. We have an obligation to live up to the ongoing challenge Latsch’s gifts have left us. We’d better do better. Our kids – all of us – deserve it.

Let's keep the party going! Vote Jerome Christenson for Winona City Council. To find out more go to jeromeatelarge.com.
