Happy Minot Monday! Today’s post is a follow up to last week’s on Things to do in Minot in the Fall. I’m sharing the things I personally plan to try this fall right here in town. It’s my Minot Fall Bucket List. Minot Monday is made possible through a partnership with BeLOCAL Minot. Read their publication for lots more ideas on local things to do!
Minot in the fall in a wonderful thing. Last week I shared 10 ideas of things to do in Minot this fall. Today’s post is a follow up to that. I’ve gotten some questions recently about the things I actually plan to (or want to) do this season.
It’s a great question. Last week’s post was pretty generic.
Today I’m sharing my a list of things I actually hope to do this season. I made one for summer–but didn’t think anyone would find it interesting. Guess I was wrong. So here goes. My Minot Fall Bucket List.
My Minot Fall Bucket List
