ho’s the best? Who stands just a little taller than all the others? (Just a little taller. This is Minnesota, after all. We don’t tower. It’s not polite.) Who puts the cherry on the SoMinn sundae?

This is the month we find out. Welcome to the second annual Best of SoMinn edition. We’ve been talking about this long enough. All of us. In fact way more of you guys than those of us at the plush and secret SoMinn Scene headquarters. We asked for your opinions, and you gave them to us, over and over and over again.

More than 25,000 individual votes were cast in the Best of SoMinn poll this year, and we are humbled that so many of you took the time to vote. It’s clear that the SoMinn territory is growing.

This year saw a marked increase in voting – and winners – from the Minnesota River Valley. We’re pretty sure, in fact, that every citizen of St. Peter cast a vote this year, and there were plenty of votes from Mankato, too.

In 2013, the big winner was Northfield with nearly 1/3 of all category winners coming from the college town on the Cannon River. This year, it’s Owatonna that made the best showing. Pardon us for feeling a little surprised by that, and we beg forgiveness from all Owatonnans if we’ve overlooked anything that has been news in your fair city. You have grabbed the attention of the crack Scene staff. We’ll be around more to keep tabs on what’s happening.

We can’t wait to hear back from you, SoMinn. What do you think? There’s no way everybody agrees on all 150 category winners. If you do, let us know. We would like to think we’ve done a pretty good job of getting as many different people involved as possible. If you don’t agree, then by all means let us know. We’re always looking for dissenting opinions. Don’t be afraid to hurt our feelings. We have thick skin around here. But do know that if you say the wrong thing about MaxScene she may show up on your doorstep. And, take it from someone who’s made her angry, you don’t want that. And don’t even get me started on Sceney. He can get a little crazy. So, please go easy on the mascots.

So there it is. Let the debates begin. Thanks to every last one of you who voted this year.

Forgive the blanket of gratitude, but thanking each of you individually would take some doing.

We’re really happy that so many of you jumped in on this, though. It makes us feel like we’re doing something right.

So, without further adieu, please allow us to present to you THE BEST of SoMINN, 2014!

Tattoo artist Mike Hansen.

Best Art Gallery, Best Visual Artist (Corrie Erickson), Best Tattoo Parlor, Best Tattoo Artist (Mike Hansen) – High Noon Ink, Northfield There’s just a whole lot going on over at High Noon Ink, and evidently, SoMinn, you like all of it.

Let’s try to piece all of this together, shall we?

High Noon Ink is an art gallery, and it was selected as the Best Art Gallery in Southern Minnesota. Corrie Erickson, who was named Best Visual Artist in Southern Minnesota, owns the shop. High Noon is also a tattoo parlor, and in what was a very competitive category, it was voted Best Tattoo Parlor. Finally, Mike Hansen was named Best Tattoo Artist. Guess where Mike plies his trade?

Bringing home the prize in four different categories is one heck of an accomplishment, particularly for a business that’s been up and running for just under two years.

“I never really thought I’d own my own shop,” Erickson said. “It just kind of worked out that way.

The front room/gallery at High Noon is a study in Garage Chic. Much of the art hanging on the walls is the creation of hotrod artists. Erickson’s specialty is vintage pin-up style portraits, which fits the aesthetic perfectly (it is after all his place – the aesthetic can be whatever he wants it to be). A lone coffee table off to the side sits covered in tattoo magazines, bordered by two chairs on one side, and a couch that may as well be a misplaced bench seat from a minivan on the other.

The hardwood floors and high ceilings, and the walls covered in brilliant, yet completely unassuming art, give the place an incredibly inviting feel. It is the least pretentious art gallery you will ever experience.

Erickson is not a guy who is comfortable talking about himself. Hansen, however, can barely keep his enthusiasm for these awards under control. Both men seem to feel validated by the honors, but they have very different ways of showing it.

Both Hansen and Erickson are tattoo art-

Best Art Fair Riverwalk MarketFair, Northfield One thing that is tough to miss if you’re strolling through downtown Northfield on a summer Saturday morning is the Riverwalk Market Fair—a weekly event that has now just wrapped up its fourth year. One part farmer’s market, one part arts fair, this is the first year that the Riverwalk Market Fair has won the title of “Best Art Fair” from Scene Readers.

Barbara Burke, a proponent of the concept from the early stages, and now a RMF board member, says that it’s the diversity of local artists they feature, and the entrepreneurial spirt they encourage that make the Market Fair “the best.” Burke also thinks that it’s the fact that they are a weekly event, and can “conduct a whopping 20 to 21 ‘art fairs’ every season” that make them unique.

Riverwalk MarketFair is 9 a.m.-1 p.m. every Saturday, June-October, at Bridge Square in Northfield --Kevin Krein

Best Outdoor Art Installation - Sidewalk Poetry For the past three years, Northfield poets have had a chance to share their work with their community through the sidewalk poetry contest.

ists, and both work in other mediums as well. While Erickson is relatively new at tattooing, Hansen feels as if he was born doing this.

“When I was nine, I used to go over to this tattoo parlor after karate practice.

Mainline Tattoo in Anoka. The guy up there, Buzz, would let me sit there and watch.” He was hooked. At nine years old, Hansen knew he would make a living putting his art on other people’s bodies.

Twenty-one years later, he is one of the most respected artists in the Midwest, mostly due to the commitment he has made to his craft.

“Every tattoo I do, I want it to be 100%.

I can’t accept anything less than that.”

Hansen and Erickson are in business to make money, no question, but part of what makes High Noon so popular is the reasonable rates.

“We just went up to $125 an hour,” Hansen said. “This isn’t a pick it and stick it shop. Everybody here aspires to do custom

work. Everybody works hard for his or her money. But we try to be reasonable and realistic about things.”

The crew at High Noon has bought into that philosophy completely, because of the respect Hansen and Erickson command.

These guys each have a healthy confidence in the work they do, but at no time does it become egotism.

“We do a lot of collaborating,” Erickson said. “If someone is working on an intricate piece, they’ll call someone else over who’s better at lettering or shading and have them help out.”

“We all just play to our strengths.”

In fact, Erickson is still able to marvel at the work Hansen and the other artists produce in the shop.

“I think I’m a pretty good artist, but then I’ll look over at something Mike is doing and be like ‘Damn!’”

“It’s just how we approach things here,” Hansen said. “There has to be honor and loyalty and integrity in this industry. We do things the right way.

“We all aspire to be better. We always want to be better.”

High Noon Ink is located at 306 Division Street in Northfield --Rich Larson

The contest, run by the Northfield Arts and Culture Commission and the Friends and Family of the Library, allows people to compete for the chance to have their poems stamped into sidewalks throughout Northfield. Every year, judges select eight to 10 new poems. So far, 33 local poets and 37 poems have been featured since 2011.

The idea was suggested by a Carleton College student, Marcus Young, who had seen a similar contest in St. Paul.

According to ACC Co-chair Bonnie Jean Flom, there have been up to 124 poem submissions in one year, with poets ranging from elementary students to senior citizens. The contest has been growing more popular from year to year, as more people learn about the contest and realize what an opportunity it is to share their talents with their community.

Best Museum/History Center - State School Orphanage Museum Owatonna takes great pride in preserving its history and finding ways to incorporate it in to the current community through murals, exhibits like the Village of Yesteryear, and activities held year round. One historical center that is worthy of this attention is the State School Orphanage Museum. A building that housed orphaned, abandoned, or abused children now sits to remember the children who once lived here.

The Minnesota State Public School Orphanage turned museum and historical center is for people to come and learn about its history. The building alone is one to be admired for its stunning architecture. Museum Director Anne Peterson was pleased to hear the results for best museum and historical center. She says, “The Minnesota State Public School Orphanage Museum is the only known orphanage museum in the nation. Visitors can learn what life was like for the 10,635 children who were placed in the State School through photos, artifacts, videos and audio stations situated around the campus. The restored boys’ Cottage 11 takes visitors back in time to experience life as the boys did in the 1920s and 30s. It’s a unique piece of Minnesota history.”

Best Dive Bar - The L&M Bar and Grill, Dundas “Dive” is a term of endearment, not one of mockery. It means a bar has a certain charm to it that other bars do not. The L&M Bar in Dundas fits this to a T, starting with the co-owner, Lyle. Lyle takes his beer warm, preferably. Lyle bought the bar from its previous owners Larry and Marguerite with his daughter, Pauline. Lyle and Pauline opted to keep the name.

The L&M is a favorite for the Dundas Dukes who frequently come following games at nearby Memorial Park and attracts bikers riding through on the weekends. It draws an expansive crowd from many different backgrounds. As one regular put it, “It’s way fun people-watching.”

The L&M also boasts two patios—one for classic games like bags and ladder toss while the other is used for socializing and is draped with ivy and flowers, only adding to its charm.

L&M also dishes up some of the best breakfast in Southern Minnesota for those in need after a late night at the L&M. There’s not even a whiff of pretension at the L&M. It’s a place where people can come and be exactly who they are while enjoying a cocktail or beer.

The L&M Bar and Grill is located at 224 Railway St N in Dundas --Nick Gerhardt

Best Patio The Contented Cow, Northfield I truly have no idea how big it is, but I’ve always called it the best 1500 sq. feet in Northfield. It’s the backyard a lot of us dream about. Situated on the Cannon River, the Contented Cow’s best claim to fame is a three level outdoor seating area that offers all things to all people.

The patio is built around a century old shade tree, that keeps things comfortable on the most sultry of summer days, but isn’t so overgrown that it keeps the sun away completely.

The patio is large enough to seat a couple hundred people, but the way it’s nestled in between three buildings gives it a very homey, comfortable feeling. The view it offers of the Cannon and the rising hill on the west side of Northfield is never dull, and startlingly beautiful at times. And the outdoor stage, ten feet away from the patio’s iron gate, provides Northield’s, if not Southern Minnesota’s greatest music venue.

On nights when a big event is happening, owner Norman Butler will set up the outdoor grill and offer hamburgers and brats for a fair price to go along with a fabulous selection of craft and import beers.

The patio at the Cow is Northfield’s happy place. If you haven’t had occasion to take it in, put it on your list of things to do next summer.

The Contented Cow is located at 302B Division Street in Northfield --Rich Larson

Cheapest Buzz Reggie’s Brewhouse, Owatonna Reggie’s offers multiple options for the budget-minded drinker and as a result, the bar can host decent crowds on any night of the week.

For starters, there’s the Big Gulp equivalent of beers—a large, multi-dozen-ounce mug of frosty drink that doesn’t cost much more than a regular pint. Throughout the summer and fall, Reggie’s holds pitcher specials during Minnesota sports games.

Patrons can snag a domestic pitcher for less than two pints.

And then there’s Thursday. That is wellknown in Owatonna circles as the night of two-for-ones. This applies to nearly everything, including the big mugs. Pitchers and a couple fancy mixed drinks aren’t included in the special, but otherwise, go nuts.

Reggie’s Brewhouse is located at 220 N Cedar Ave in Owatonna --Matt Hudson A d d y o u r e v e n t f o r F R E E t o t h e T I M E L I N E c a l e n d a r . G O TO w w w. s o u t h ernminn . c o m / s c ene / c a len d a r & C l i c k + A d d a n E v ent

Best Sports Bar and Best Bowling Alley - Spare Time Entertainment It was a sad time for families and league bowlers back in 2012 when Southpark Lanes & Lounge of Owatonna closed unexpectedly. Many had faith in this business, so with the help of local business owners it opened up only a couple months later with new ownership and big plans. Since that time, this business has really come back with a bang and brings with it anything you could possibly imagine and more from a bowling alley.

New interactive bowling equipment has been installed so no matter your age, you can find something that will entertain you. But that is what this business is all about—entertaining. With a full, elaborate menu and stocked bar, any time is the perfect time to come and enjoy everything Spare Time Entertainment has to offer. Not in one day though, that would simply be impossible; with cosmic bowling, drink specials, happy hours, arcade games, interactive bowling, live music, DJ Jumpin’ Joe, bingo, summer volleyball, trivia, and as I said before, a full menu. Oh, and did I mention they cater and will host your party? This place is truly a one stop entertainment spectacular.

Spare Time Entertainment is located at 333 18th St SE in Owatonna -- Autumn Van Ravenhorst

Best Martini and Best Wine List Torey’s Restaurant and Bar martini David Connelly, the house manager at Torey’s, said that the quality of their martinis starts with well-trained bartenders.

“We pride ourselves on the way we make them and being able to give people plenty of options,” he said.

The martini comes in many flavors at Torey’s. The current list of about 20 variations starts with the dirty martini and branches out into versions like espresso and lemon drop. Connelly said that his favorites to make are different takes on the cosmo.

It’s the little things that go into preparing the drink, Connelly said, that brings out the quality—like how bartenders filter the olive juice to make a dirty martini.

And more choices are on the way. Torey’s new drink menu will add five more martinis to the list.

Torey is also very serious about his restaurant’s wine, and it seems that careful selection has paid off with the award for Best Wine List. Connelly said that from sweet wine to dry wine, pinot to malbec, it has been a labor of love.

“The key was to try to get something for all tastes,” Connelly said.

Torey’s carries 17 wines by the bottle or glass, from $4 glasses to an $8-per-glass cabernet. They also have a reserve wine list with some finer selections. For the chardonnay purists, they have both oaked and unoaked versions.

Presentation is also important, Connelly said. Torey also chooses wines based on the style of the label and producer. The key is fun. One of the most popular choices is Kungfu Girl from Washington. Stop by during regular hours or for the occasional in-house tasting.

Tory’s is located at 685 W Bridge St #5 in Owatonna --Matt Hudson

Best Pool Hall Wagner’s Lunch Perhaps just as well-known as a popular lunch spot for a quick, cheap burger, Wagner’s takes this year’s award for its pool table access.

It’s almost literally a hall. The long, thin eatery has room from front to back, not side-to-side. The pool tables are in the back, past the rows of booths.

Wagner’s feels like a bar, but the liquor and limes have been replaced with a flat-top grill and a deep fryer. A casual daytime crowd replaces rowdy barflies.

People tend to roll in around lunch time, but it’s a good spot to play low-key rounds of pool at other times.

Wagner’s Lunch is located at 222 N Cedar Ave in Owatonna --Matt Hudson

one mentions the dog,” said owner Tami Schluter.

Tami and her husband, Doug, are other key players that make the Hutchinson House a must-stay.

“We really do make a point of telling our guests all of the fun things there are to do in Faribault,” Tami said. “Faribault is a hidden gem.”

Another gem, found on the Hutchinson House’s breakfast table is Tami’s specialty: a cranberry-almond-white chocolate chunk-scone—a blue ribbon winner at the Rice County Fair.

The Schluters welcome guests all year round. It’s a great space for holiday gatherings and bridal/baby showers, too. In October, the five-bedroom home takes a spooky twist. Think black drapes, gobs of spider webs, black, white and orange dinnerware and more.

“When you live in a creepy Victorian, you’ve got to do it up!” Tami said.

At Christmastime, the house is decked to the halls in true 1892 tradition, including a live Christmas tree with natural flowers, nuts, berries, peacock feathers and décor.

“We do a lot of fun things,” Tami said.

Best Movie Theater - Lakeville 21 Like a beacon of celluloid hope, radiating out into southern Minnesota off of highway 35 in Lakeville, Mueller Family Theatre’s Lakeville 21 location was named the “Best Movie Theater” again by Scene readers for the second year in a row.

Lakeville 21 opened in 1997, and according to manager Shari Wilson, they’ve prided themselves on being a family friendly theater with a focus on customer service.

Wilson said they are the largest theatre in the twin cities area with 21 screens. Having that many screens allows them to expand upon how many movies and the variety they play.

And don’t forget about their Monster Screen—no, it’s not a screen made of monsters, or a theater that only seats monsters. It’s a giant screen with seating for over 550 people.

And hey we get it, going to the movies in 2014 is a little bit of an expensive endeavor.

Wilson explained that Mueller Family Theatres are “committed to keeping our pricing below the local industry standards with both our admission and concessions.”

She also said many think that “we have the best popcorn around!”

Lakeville 21 is located at 20653 Keokuk Ave in Lakeville --Kevin Krein

Best Lake - Lake Washington, Le Sueur and Blue Earth Counties One of the largest lakes in southern Minnesota, Lake Washington is located primarily in Le Sueur County nearest the community of Madison Lake. The lake’s southern tip takes in a small part of Blue Earth County, about 10 miles from Mankato.

At nearly 1,500 acres and over 13 miles of shoreline, Lake Washington is home to some 450 homes, with an estimated 80 percent of those now year-round residences. The lake’s fishing prowess has become a well-known “secret,” with a nice stock of crappies, bass, northern pike and walleyes. There are two public access ramps on the lake.

Pam Olson, president of the Lake Washington Improvement Association for 2014-15 says the lake has several deep pockets, ranging from 30 to 50 feet, which allows for a wide variety of fishing opportunities.

“It’s become such a popular lake,” Olson said. “Everybody enjoys it for both fishing and recreational. It’s big enough to handle it.”

Ice fishing and winter activities have also been growing in popularity on Lake Washington.

The Westwood Marina Bar and Grill, rural Kasota, and on Lake Washington’s west side off Hwy. 22 between Mankato and St. Peter offers a great atmosphere and view of the lake.

Best Local Beer/Brewer Schell’s Brewing Company, New Ulm When it comes to longevity and the grand stories of this nation’s brewing industry, few can rival that of August Schell Brewery in New Ulm. With roots dating back to 1860, this family-owned and operated brewery has survived six generations and is stronger than ever, with some 100 German craft beers now dotting its slate.

Grand brew master Ted Marti and wife Jodi are now joined by sons Jace, Franz and Kyle, and Schell’s continues to be a mainstay in New Ulm’s tourism growth. Besides its growing craft beer selections, to go along with its originals and the 2002 purchase of Grain Belt, Schell’s sponsors or participates in Bockfest (set for February 15, 2015), Oktoberfest, and “Sundays in the Park” on the Schell’s beautiful grounds from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Schell’s also offers tours of its brewery, the Schell’s mansion, and its Museum of Brewery throughout the year. Tours should be booked in advance because of limited availability by contacting schells@schellsbrewery.com or by calling 800-770-5020.

The Schell’s Brewery is located at 1860 Schell’s Rd in New Ulm.

Best Beer Selection, Best Free Bar Munchies, Best Bloody Mary, Best Happy Hour, Best Bar to Find Some Company and Best Bartender (Mathias Ove) - Patrick’s on Third, St. Peter It’s possibly the only bar in Southern Minnesota that will be full of beer-drinking college students at night, professors during lunch, and a father helping his young daughter learn how to walk by doing laps around the bar as the sun begins to go down.

Patrick’s on Third in St. Peter has been run by the same family for 26 years. On the walls are neon beer signs, posters from music festivals and drumming contests, old trombones hang from the ceilings, antique lamps sit in hidden nooks, a fake tree hides a giant pole and 250 taps line the ceiling above the bar.

Also known as Patty’s, the bar was voted as having the best beer selection, Bloody Mary, happy hour, free bar munchies and the best bartender, Mathias Ove. It’s also the best bar to find some company in Southern Minnesota.

Co-owner John Mayer said people go to Patty’s to “meet, talk, eat, drink, laugh, cry, watch Drum Corps, and enjoy life.”

Mayer is a three-time world champion in the Govenaires Drum and Bugle Corps, which is where his restaurant philosophy began.

“We can always improve on whatever we do,” he said of how he runs his business. “The patty melt I made for lunch was the best until I make the next one.

Then that’s the best, until I make the next one.”

Mayer said the Bloody Mary, which is the best in Southern Minnesota, is made how it’s supposed to be, using basic ingredients. It also comes with a beef stick.

Patty’s Happy Hour is three hours daily and has two for one pints and people can join the Mug Club. Mayer’s wife handpaints mugs for those in the Mug Club with their name.

“I got sick of losing my beer all the time,” Mayer said of why he started the Mug Club.

During Happy Hour, bar munchies are free. Before Mayer’s parents bought the restaurant in 1988, it was a Mexican restaurant. The recipe for chips and salsa was stuck to the wall and ever since, bargoers can fill and re-fill on the snack.

Mayer said Patty’s is a great place to find company because it’s a different kind of bar with open-minded people.

“There’s a direct correlation with how much lite beer we have and the intelligence of the clientele,” Mayer said of his bar which only serves one lite beer.

The bar is packed on Tuesday nights for trivia and although there are televisions throughout the bar, Mayer said they aren’t shoved in your face.

On any given weekday, a class from Gustavus Adolphus College, located just up the hill from Patty’s, might be at the bar discussing the latest poem it dissected or the newest political development.

And bartender Mathias Ove, who’s worked at Patty’s since he was 16 years old is no stranger to the varied crowd.

Mayer said Ove is the best bartender because he’s committed to serving customers correctly and gives his personal touch at a very high level.

“You feel like a professional is waiting on you,” Mayer said. “He’s always looking for ways to enhance your experience.”

A a tornado ripped through St. Peter in 1998, heavily damaging the town.

Even though Patty’s didn’t have electricity for two weeks, the bar stayed open and served free food every day.

“I don’t suggest trying to start a bar like this because it just happened,” Mayer said.

Patrick’s on Third is located at - you guessed it - 125 S 3rd St in St. Peter -- Samantha Maranell

Best Kept Secret Northfield Olive Oils & Vinegars

acts of the James-Younger Gang and the heroics of the townspeople to thwart the raid.

The annual event attracts plenty of Western enthusiasts as well as the Northfield natives.

In addition to the bank raid reenactments, this four-day event brings a PRCA rodeo, tractor pull, carnival, run/walk, bike tour, dance, fine arts festival and the grand parade. The annual horseshoe hunt draws townspeople in with a new clue each day until it’s found. Finally, the event even brings in theatrics! This past year the Northfield Arts Guild presented “Tippecanoe and Tyler Too” and the event held live music each night at the event center. The Defeat of Jesse James Days has something for everyone who attends!

Sauté it. Mix it up. Cook or bake with it. Mostly, just get creative with it. “It” being the surprising and vast varieties of virgin olive oils at Northfield Olive Oil— this year’s Best Kept Secret.

In December 2012, husband-wife duo Joe and Sherry Morgan opened up shop on Bridge Square in downtown Northfield.

“We’ve been absolutely well-received,” said Joe. The quaint shop boasts 67 varieties, all of which can be sampled right on site, while jazz tunes fill the room. From the popular Tuscan Herb olive oil to Honey Fig and traditional Raspberry balsamic vinegar, there’s plenty of variety to go around.

“We don’t have oils from just one country; we have oils from each hemisphere,” Joe said.

In the fall, European flavors from Spain and Greece take center stage. In the spring, product comes from Peru, Chile and the South.

“We literally always have the freshest,” Joe said.

Check it out for yourself and add a flavor boost to your favorite dishes that will wow friends and family.

Joe’s recipe pick: Marinate raw chicken breasts in Baklouti Green Chile Oil, cook the chicken to your liking, and wrap in a tortilla with avocado and tomato for a fresh, spicy experience.

Northfield’s Defeat of Jesse James Days is held annually on the first weekend after Labor Day. Learn more at www.djjd.org.

Best Community Event - The Defeat of Jesse James Days, Northfield Many communities hold a one-day celebration (or every now and then a weekend celebration) to commemorate its history. However, in Northfield, the Defeat of Jesse James Days is spread out in to a whopping four days. With eight bank raid reenactments in three days, Northfield residents can connect with the historic

Downtown Northfield has been compared to a painting by Normal Rockwell, and it’s easy to see why. Take a stroll down Division Street and you’ll pass the majestic Archer House, a red-sided Victorian inn that still has rooms for rent. Across the street is the Northfield Public Library, constructed a century go with funds from Andrew Carnegie. Every year, the sculpture in front of its building changes, as different high school artists have the chance to share their skills with the city.

After passing a few blocks full of charming boutiques and specialty stores, selling everything from cooking appliances to art supplies, you come to Bridge Square, the city’s central park. On one end is a soothing fountain, on the other is a Civil War Memorial, and off to the side is an old-fashioned popcorn cart that sells fresh popcorn every day in summer.

Maybe downtown’s crowning glory is its River Walk, where people can walk along the beautiful Cannon River.

Even the sidewalks are full of charm, stamped with poems written by local poets.

Stepping into Northfield’s downtown really is like stepping into another world. Come check it out—it’s just waiting to be discovered.

Best Holiday Event Winter Walk, Northfield Every December, downtown Northfield is transformed into a winter wonderland— covered in sparkling Christmas lights, filled with the sounds of caroling and full of people of all ages enjoying the snowcovered city. It’s all part of Winter Walk, an annual event held each December to celebrate the winter season and bring the community together.

As the sun sets, the town is lit by thousands of Christmas lights strung across buildings. Some store owners keep their shops open late to offer special sales, while others offer hot chocolate and hot apple cider to warm up cold shoppers. Wide-eyed kids can meet Santa Claus or take a ride in his sleigh—which comes complete with reindeer.

It’s a special night that draws hundreds of visitors back every year. Whether it’s for the good deals on Christmas presents, the comradery of wandering the cheerful streets together, or just the enjoyment of taking in the beautiful winter scene—it really is the most wonderful time of the year.

Best Haunted Spot St. Olaf College, Northfield Legend has it that St. Olaf College is built on a hill that was a Native American burial ground centuries ago. Perhaps that might explain the dozens and dozens of unexplained happenings over the years.

Greg Kneser is the Vice President for Student Life at St. Olaf, and has been there for nearly three decades. He is also the unofficial ghostologist at the college, and has a file of reports of ghost sightings that is nearly four inches thick.

There is the ghost of Elizabeth Kelsey, who looks over the students in the theater building that bears her name. Agnes Mellby haunts a staircase in the dormitory named after her, as does a man in a top hat who will enter a certain room, take his hat and coat off, hanging them in a spot where there were once hooks, and then disappear as he walks across the room.

Former librarian Charlotte Jacobson re-arranges books on book carts mumbling to herself all the while. And then there’s the famous boy with the red cap who knocks on the outside of windows at Thorson Hall, three stories up.

Of course, this could all be mass hallucination brought on by the prevailing, somewhat permanent scent of Lutefisk in this most Norwegian institution. But the stories keep coming up time and again, from different people over the span of a decade. It makes one wonder what exactly is going on up on that hill.

Best Corn Maze/ Haunted House/ Hayride - Oak View Nursery and Pumpkin Patch, Owatonna In the months of September and October, a charming venue full of surprises sits along Country Road 45, right outside of Owatonna. What began as a nursery and landscaping business has turned into a mini Fall festival for many families.

Oak View Nursery & Pumpkin Patch is open on the weekends for your whole family. Take your children on a hayride or go through the nursery’s corn maze. Scurry on Jacobs’s ladder, zip down the giant slide, or take your little one to roll in the corn box. And if you’re feeling up to it, play a round of mini golf, pumpkin chunkin’, or take few shots at their paintball target range! Even if you do manage to participate in all of these activities, you will be sure to find more as you make your way around the property. Oak View Nursery & Pumpkin Patch has really created a Fall extravaganza for families of all ages to come enjoy this time of year and all its wonders.

Oak View Nursery and Pumpkin Patch is located at 7921 County Highway 45 in Owatonna -- Autumn Van Ravenhorst

Best Farmer’s Market - Owatonna Farmer’s Market Although the hours specified are 7 a.m. till noon, vendors at the Owatonna Farmer’s Market begin rolling in much earlier than that. According to the market veterans, it’s all about getting your spot. I won’t let all of their secrets of success out, but many of them have been setting up shop at the Saturday morning market for well over a decade.

There is no charge to set up your stand at the Owatonna Farmer’s Market; you just need to find a spot. The last couple years have brought homemade cheeses, locally raised honey, heirloom tomatoes, a cotton candy spinner, and several gluten free options. Melissa Anderson is one of the long-time market goers whose jams, jellies, and baked goods in particular have created many regular customers. She has been in the same spot for basically the last 10 w w w. s o u t h e r N m i nn SCENE. c o m u N O V EM B ER 2 0 1 4

Best Place for a Summer Job & Best Pool - River Springs Water Park, Owatonna The River Springs Water Park is by far one of the cleanest and safest community pools around. Busloads of kids travel from out of town to come and splash at this water park. The crowd shouldn’t deter you, as there is plenty of room for more and lifeguards are stationed at every corner.

The park is typically open for three months out of the year as long as Minnesota weather permits. The community would be in danger if I worked here since I quit swimming lessons when I reached guppy level at age five. Those who do work here always look like they are having a blast.

Aside from the responsibility of keeping everyone safe, you hang around in your red suit, watching families enjoy themselves, and sneak a soft pretzel with salt and cheese from the concession stand.

The pool accommodates all ages. Go crazy on the tube and body slides, climbing wall, or lily pad walk. Those who are looking to drop their kids off in the activity pool can float down the lazy river. If you have a small child, take them over to the spitting fountains, turtle slide, and zero depth entry pool. When you are ready for a break, take a seat on one of their many lounging chairs and enjoy a snack from their concession stand. The waterpark also provides restrooms and spacious showers when you and your family are finally ready to head home.

River Springs Water Park is located at 3065 St Paul Rd in Owatonna -- Autumn Van Ravenhorst

Best Place to People Watch - Steele County Free Fair The Steele County Free Fair is the largest county fair in the state and is listed as one of the top 200 attractions in North America

by Events Business News. The Free Fair is a nonprofit organization set up primarily by volunteers and sponsors. This event brings hundreds of thousands of guests each year. Entertainment alone can be found by merely watching the passersby, and unique vendors that attend this event.

Now, “people watching” or “crowd watching” is the act of observing people and their interactions, usually without their knowledge. If at some point during this event you simply cannot find anything to do, which seems utterly impossible given the extensive line-up of this event, sit on a bench. You will find loads of entertainment by sitting there watching some very uncomfortable people dealing with the late summer heat, crying babies and those irksome carnies. You’ll also see happy couples, giggling teenagers and loving families enjoying a beautiful day. The Steele County Free Fair is a cross section of humanity, and should not be missed by any trained or amateur cultural anthropologist.

Best Casino - Treasure Island Resort and Casino, Red Wing It’s a small thing, but it shows what sets Treasure Island apart from a lot of other casinos around here: Treasure Island doesn’t lie to you.

Nowhere in their marketing do they say anything about the odds being in your favor, or having the best returning slots. They don’t try to suck you in by making you think you’re going to get rich playing Pai-Gow at one of their tables. You’re a grown-up. If you want to sit down and play some black jack for a while, then you should do that without having some carnie try to reel you in with the promise of a “hot table.” We all know what the end result of most of these things is going to be. Treasure Island actually respects you enough to not treat you like a rube.

They also have some killer entertainment. Just in 2014 their showroom has seen the likes of Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Styx and The Wallflowers.

Sometimes you just want to get away and go play with the other adults. Treasure Island allows you to do that without giving up any of your dignity.

Best Big Company to Work For Mayo Clinic Health System

Congressman Walz, fittingly enough, defined his ethics as being “very Minnesotan”—he tries to not be defined by the party he is aligned with, but instead, wants to look at the issues from both sides, and attempt to reach a common ground with his fellow congressmen who sit on the other side of the aisle.

Very Minnesotan indeed.

--Kevin Krein

There are obvious benefits to working for Mayo. We’re going to guess the health insurance is outstanding. There’s the prestige of being a part of, arguably, the world’s most respected name in medicine. We have no idea how well the place pays, but again, we have a feeling that there are pretty good wages to be found (even for those who aren’t world class oncologists).

But let’s not assume anything. If we ask an actually employee of Mayo, we’re going to get some interesting answers.

Scott Lenoch is an administrative assistant in the Department of Neurosurgery, and he loves working for Mayo.

“First and foremost, I enjoy the job security,” he said, describing how a departmental shake-up had a lot of folks nervous a few years ago, but the company displayed the kind of loyalty to its employees that has been rare for almost a decade in corporate America.

Lenoch also points to the cooperative spirit that has been fostered in Mayo’s corporate culture.

“Everybody I work with, fellow administrative assistants, appointment coordinators, are always willing to help each other out.”

Finally, Lenoch says, it’s just a beautiful place to be.

“It’s like walking through a museum. Most of it does not even look like a hospital. I catch myself walking around on my breaks just to catch the sites and people watch.”

Best Local Blog/ Blogger - Minnesota Prairie Roots/Audrey Kletscher Helbling Being a writer isn’t a job, it’s a way of life. A writer, good or bad, just has that gene in their DNA that compels them to document the things they see and, quite often, pontificate about them.

It was that compulsion that led Audrey Kletscher Helbling to start her blog, Minnesota Prairie Roots.

“I was blogging for a magazine, Minnesota Moments, but the editor told me he couldn’t keep up with everything I was writing,” she said, “so I started my blog.”

That was in July of 2009. Since then, more than 1000 people have subscribed to Minnesota Prairie Roots, reading about her travels and adventures all over Southern Minnesota and beyond.”

Helbling says she’s interested in chronicling small town Mainstreet, as she puts it, showcasing “the things people overlook.”

Some of her recent entries include trips to places like Luverne, Mason City, IA and the Rice County Historical Society Museum in Faribault. All of her entries are accompanied with bright, descriptive pictures that enhance every word she writes.

“My camera is always on my hip,” she said.

You’ll have to work a little to find her blog. She’s not a big fan of promoting herself, and she doesn’t have any sort of social media presence.

“It’s just another thing to do,” she said.

Nevertheless, people have found her.

“If you’re interested in writing a good product, and showing good and interesting pictures,” she said, “then people will find you.”

Best Local Poitician Tim Walz Representing the state’s 1st district, the Honorable Congressman Tim Walz (D) is, himself, honored to have been voted the Best Local Politician by the readers of the Southern Minnesota Scene.

In a field that can be unsavory at times, the Congressman believes he won the election with our readers because he “understands who he works for.” Walz prides himself on not using his office as a platform, and he feels that he represents everyone.

Best Place for Live Music -Vetter Stone Amphitheater, Mankato

playing a mix of blues and roots-rock. His smoky voice blends with an impressive finger technique that makes his notes pop off the strings. Most of his songs include fast beats and dizzying chord progressions, and even the “sad” songs are infectiously fun.

Visit www.jonmanners.com for more information

For years, the word around Mankato was that it needed a bona fide outdoor music venue. The city’s bar scene often dominated music lovers at a variety of locations, while the nostalgic Kato Ballroom still paved the way with sounds ranging from new rap to Old Tyme. And the more spacious indoor option at the updated Verizon Wireless Center could bring in diverse acts and draw thousands.

But it was Riverfront Park near downtown Mankato which often hosted smaller music festivals, drawing longtime Mankato favorites like City Mouse and Mary Jane Alm. But since its opening in 2012, the Vetter Stone Amphitheater has earned rave reviews for its look and diversity of acts. This past summer, the venue featured performers ranging from George Thorogood & the Destroyers to the softer sounds of Mason Jennings and Jeremy Messersmith in a joint performance, but also did well with veterans like Pat Benatar and Rick Springfield.

But it might have been the 2012 Willie Nelson that really put the Vetter Stone Amphitheater on the map. We look for it to continue to be a popular outdoor spot in 2015.

The Vetter Stone Amphitheater is located in Riverfront Park, 310 W Rock St, in Mankato --Dana Melius

Best Radio Station - KYMN 1080 AM, Northfield If you tune in to KYMN 1080 AM of Northfield, you will hear the latest in news, sports, music, and weather. The downtown Northfield Radio Station is another back-toback winner and for good reason. Although many may tune in to KYMN on their dial, the station also offers live streaming online. And hey, if you miss a show or newscast, you can find it on their website.

Jeff Johnson, the current owner, can be heard during the KYMN morning show. Wayne Eddy is on during the Wayne Eddy Affair or listen to Technology Trends with Tim Freeland daily. Back-to-back winner of Best Radio Personality, Jessica Paxton and her show, All-Wheel Drive, also streams on KYMN. The local station plays almost everything out of their studio. In this day and age, that is quite remarkable and in a town the size of Northfield it is not an easy task. But, with the unique variety of regular programs that can be heard on KYMN, it is no wonder they have gained such popularity with their listeners.

Best Solo Act Jon Manners

Best Radio Personality - Jessica Paxton, KYMN Radio 1080 AM, Northfield

When Jon Manners walks into a room and pulls out his guitar, people may not immediately notice. But when he starts to play, everyone turns to look.

Manners has been playing guitar since 1957. He said he first started out on the recorder, which he didn’t particularly enjoy. But everything changed when he saw a guitar hanging on the wall in a gas station and the attendant let him hold it.

When he was eight, he received his own guitar, and from then on he was hooked.

Manners describes himself as an artist who “fell through the cracks,” writing and

If you are familiar with the music scene in Northfield, then you are definitely familiar with Jessica Paxton. The music promoter who lines up performances for the Contended Cow, the Tavern Lounge and other venues in town has her own program on KYMN 1080 AM in Northfield titled “AllWheel Drive.”

The two separate professions blend nicely as regulars on her radio show can frequently be heard around town playing

Best Bar Band The Counterfactuals, Northfield

Philosophy Department. Andy Flory is an assistant professor of music at Carleton.

Mike Fuerstein is an assistant professor of philosophy at St. Olaf College. They are four amiable, easy-going academics with families and solid careers at two of the best liberal arts colleges in the country.

They are also generally regarded as the cream of the crop in the spectacularly talented Northfield music scene.

The Counterfactuals’ album “Minimally Decent People” was released early this year to critical acclaim. The band has received airplay on MPR’s The Current in the Twin Cities and has garnered attention all the way from Yorkshire, England, and Edinburgh, Scotland. Perhaps their biggest accomplishment in 2014 was packing one Northfield venue full of notoriously apathetic college students at a CD release show this past spring.

“It’s nice to have a built in audience,” said Groll.

Having garnered the support of some of the top taste-makers in the state, one would think this past summer would have

Only in Northfield would you be able to find a four-person rock band that carries at least a dozen college and post-grad degrees, including four PhDs. That’s just one of the many reasons it’s a bit of a misnomer to label The Counterfactuals a “Bar Band.” Obviously, they play in bars, so one can’t be too critical of the designation, but at the risk of sounding like a music snob, the term is beneath these guys.

The band just has too many bonafides and accreditations to be thought of as just another band playing in just another college town pub.

Yes, there have been plenty of learned rockers over the years, but honestly, how many of those bands’ bass players have been invited to give an academic presentation at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

Daniel Groll and Jason Decker are assistant professors in the Carleton College

live music. With each radio show, Paxton aims to fill it with great music, and in turn, hopes it has an impact on listeners to get out and see those same artists around town.

Whether it’s indie rock or classic pop, All-Wheel Drive has something that can appeal to anyone. And for the music junkies in Northfield, it’s everything you could ever hope for.

With the catchy music during her show and the number of live performances around town, Southern Minnesota picking Paxton as the number one radio personality is anything but a surprise.

Jessica Paxton’s “All Wheel Drive” can be heard weekdays from 4-6 p.m. on KYMN Radio, 1080 AM, or at www.kymnradio.net.

Best Music Festival - Rock Bend Folk Festival Every September as the leaves begin to turn colors, the Rock Bend Folk Festival overtakes Minnesota Square Park in St. Peter.

been full of shows in the Twin Cities. It should be expected for The Counterfactuals to be playing The 331 Club in Excelsior, The Amsterdam Bar & Hall in St. Paul, perhaps scoring a gig at the newly refurbished Turf Club or maybe even something at the 7th Street Entry.

However, that isn’t how it works for the members of the Counterfactuals. They all love their day jobs. Making this music that so many people are responding to is really nothing more than a hobby.

“Coordinating our schedules is not easy,” said Groll.

This is a band with the potential to be successful on a level far beyond the Cannon River Valley. But that isn’t what these guys want.

“No, we don’t want to be rock stars,” said Groll. “Everyone in the band is on the same page there.”

They are content to make music for the sake of making music, playing the occasional show and taking the time to record when they can find it. They play whenever they can fit it into their heavy professorial schedules. They recently began to work out and audition new material for what they hope will be a new album in 2015.

Over the summer, Carleton College, who employs three of the four members

of the band, allowed them access to the schools acoustically spectacular concert hall and whatever recording equipment the school might have, just to in help begin that recording process.

“In the Cities, we’d have to pay for the space or do it in our basements like we did with the first record,” said Decker. “Fortunately we have this opportunity.”

So, it seems, for some there is a reward for not seeking the fame and fortune of rock stardom. The benefits of being the four “Prof Rockers” of Northfield clearly supersede the bright lights of Hollywood for these guys. All four are devoted to their families and it’s obvious all four are thrilled with their academic careers, as well.

“We all have jobs. We all have families.

It’s tough to build a legendary rock band with those responsibilities,” said Groll. “It’s a good thing we don’t want to do that.”

For the past 24 years, Rock Bend, the best music festival in Southern Minnesota, has been providing music and creative arts near the banks of the Minnesota River.

Vendors fill the park selling their wares, crafts and handiwork from wool to beads, drawings to instruments. Different music wafts through the air as people of all ages fill the park, sitting on the grass, walking or dancing.

President of the Rock Bend Folk Festival Board, John Ganey, said there are two music stages and more than 20 bands fill the line-up.

Best Country Band Lost Highway Best Country Band Following a near paralyzing accident, Jesse Steberg decided that while he had to give up snowmobiling he needed something to keep himself busy. Five years later, 2 albums, countless hours on stage, and a fun, new video to promote the song “Tubin,” that diversion from sledding stands as the Best Country Band in Southern Minnesota, Lost Highway.

Ask almost anyone and they’ve heard of Lost Highway. You can find them playing nearly every weekend at your local bar, street dance or county fair. They’ve also performed at Moondance Jam where I’ve personally witnessed the energy and liveliness that this band can offer up any crowd.

Foot stomping, hand clapping, sing along music is what this country inspired band puts out there. Show after show the fans are never disappointed. The adrenaline keeps these boys driven to come up with new originals and new covers to excite the crowds. “This Feels Good” is their recently released CD. The band will be getting in the studio to start recording this winter.

Want yet another reason to put on your favorite cowboy boots and hat? Head on out to a Lost Highway show. You’re guaranteed a boot tapping good time!

Best Bakery - Martha’s Eats & Treats, Dundas Martha’s Eats and Treats, as a storefront, is a bit of a hidden gem—occupying a small space in Dundas, her scratch bakery is open for breakfast and lunch, from 6 a.m. until 2 p.m., Friday and Saturday only. Get a hankering for a chocolate croissant on a Sunday morning? TOO BAD! YOU SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT BEFORE! Even with operating the shop, which opened in February of 2013, Martha’s presence is still very strong at the Riverwalk Market Fair in Bridge Square, an event she has been involved with since its inception, and she credits that for when her business really took off.

Martha herself has always had a love of small town bakeries, and it’s that love that she tries to put into her homemade baked goods, soups, and sandwiches. Her philosophy is simple—she just wants to “provide something yummy” to people. We’d say she’s succeeded, as she has been voted the Best Bakery for two years in a row by Scene readers.

Martha’s Eats & Treats is located at 236 Railway St N in Dundas --Kevin Krein

Best Specialty Salad (Amablu Craisin Salad) and Best Chef (Jeff LaBeau) --The Depot, Faribault Jeff LaBeau is humbled and excited by the vote! When asked “How do you do it Jeff?” Immediate answer: “Passion.

There is nothing else I would want to do!

If I couldn’t be a Chef you might as well just put me out to pasture!” His passion began at eight years old. His Mom was a Pastry Chef/Caterer /Waitress working for a Country Club. Jeff would accompany Mom to events and has never looked back.

After training in New York and developing his “food philosophy” while working at restaurants on the East Coast, he came home to open his own place and set forth to “exceed his customer expectations with every meal”. He chuckles when he tells me the Raivin’ Craisin’ Salad is (and has consistently been) the “number one selling item in the restaurant!

Even over any type of Beer!”

“It’s truly a Team effort though. I couldn’t do what I do without my great team: Eric Missling, Director of Culinary, Alfredo Calderon, Executive Chef and Tonya Dunn, Restaurant Manager. His best advice to any Restaurateur? Make your “Specials Special!” Oh, the only other career he considered: Professional Wrestler! Good choice Jeff.

Best candy shop Costas Candies, Owatonna It isn’t very often one can find a business that has been locally owned and operated for almost one hundred years. I am sure a candy shop is not the business you see withstanding the tests of time. Many see people like the candy man from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory as being fictitious or long since passed people of society. That myth is debunked the moment you step in to Costas’s Candies & Restaurant.

The business opened, in the same location it remains today, in 1919. Ninety-five years later, all the candies and chocolates are still made from scratch. Each piece of candy is hand-crafted, dipped, rolled, wrapped, and any other step there is in the candy-making process. The first thing you see upon entering is a glass display of vibrantly foil-wrapped candies and truffles. Costa’s offers everything from truffles and buttercremes to caramels and nut clusters. My absolute favorites are the truffles.

If you are looking for a gift for Valentine’s Day, I guarantee a Costa’s box full of colorful, individually wrapped truffles will delight your special someone more than any commercial box of candies you can find. The business also offers breakfast and lunch, and you would be wise to order a vanilla Coke as they make them upon request and they are delicious.

Costas Candies is located at 112 North Cedar Avenue in Owatonna -- Autumn Van Ravenhorst

Best Catering Arna Farmer Catering & Cakes, Faribault Arna Farmer was not always a Caterer.

She began her working career providing daycare to friends and family. She was babysitting for all of these children anyway so thought “Why not make it official?”

She went on to work in the kitchen at the Minnesota Academy for the Deaf and honed her skills. While honing she was once again helping out friends and family by making cakes. After eight years of her son’s encouragement and three months of research she took the plunge! And a big plunge it was! She and her husband George (her official “staff”) converted a back deck into a full commercial kitchen which is spectacular.

She does all sorts of different types of catering; weddings, groom’s dinners, corporate meetings and lunches, graduations, even the occasional funeral. She thinks her success comes from the fact that she customizes every event to the customer’s individual plans, right down to teaching them how much ribbon to buy! Her experience is in food, she has training in nutrition and she loves to teach. That sounds like a winning combination to me!

Best Fine Dining and Best Place for a Steak - Hubbell House, Mantorville What I learned from Don Pappas while he was on vacation has convinced me that I need to visit sooner than later! Partner Dick Jensch is at the helm of this storied Minnesota restaurant, along with Purchasing Manager, Doug Krecht who has been with them for 45 years and 40 year Chef Jary Gardner. People obviously come to work and stay ant the Hubbell House.

One member of the wait staff just recently retired, having been their since she started in 1947. The average longevity of their wait staff is ten years. That’s unheard of in the Restaurant Industry!

The Chef cuts all the highest quality aged beef steaks and they use a two-tiered cooking method. They season the meat with their own Hubbell House seasoning, sear the meat to lock in the juices and then broil to perfection. I could taste it! All of the products they use are high-quality to produce their famous onion rings, garlic toast and Signature Hubbell House dressing – a Thousand Island-like dressing with a fresh-made chutney base as opposed to mayonnaise. Everything is made from scratch from the highest quality ingredients.

Family-gracious service, real china, linen napkins, attention to fresh-made food and an authentic 1880’s atmosphere (the building was an actual 1854 Stage Coach stop) makes for a wonderful culinary experience. I can’t wait.

Best Brunch and Best Date Night Ole Store, Northfield Cedar planked salmon, pasta primavera, filet mignon… The menu may read like a metropolitan five-star restaurant, but these delectable dishes are all found at the Ole Store Restaurant, snugly nestled in the suburbs of Northfield.

The restaurant was first established in the 1880s as a grocery store. As the years progressed, owners started offering dishes along with their merchandise. Eventually, the establishment evolved into the critically acclaimed restaurant it is today.

The Ole Store Restaurant offers breakfast, lunch and dinner menus, along with wine and beer selections. The menus are seasonal, with spring-summer and fall-winter schedules.

While new dishes are added over the years, some customer favorites are permanent, such as the parmesan crusted walleye (far and away the best seller) and the Ahi tuna sliders.

When it comes to breakfast dishes, the Crabby Benedict is the favorite dish, with the Ole Roll another customer favorite.

Deanna Cross, who worked at the store as a teenager and is now vice president of operations, said their restaurant is so popular because of their creative team and dedicated staff.

“We try to strive for excellent service and great food,” she said.

One staff member is Executive Chef Chris Basina, who studied at the Le Cordon Bleu International culinary school. He blends Native American cooking customs with cooking techniques he learned in Paris and other areas.

Between the skilled chefs, the excellent service, the charming location and the amazing dishes, the Ole Store Restaurant is sure to offer a dining experience you’ll never forget.

Best Coffeehouse Goodbye Blue Monday, Northfield It’s hard to be from Northfield and the surrounding area without knowing about this gem. The uber-popular stop is this year’s Best Coffeehouse.

“It’s a hub for the community,” said Dan Riggins, who co-owns the shop with his wife, Catherine Dominguez.

Located on Division Street for the past 24 years, Dan and Catherine have been in charge for the 21 of those.

“We focus on quality and the community aspect,” Riggins explained.

Inside, you’ll find anything but a blue atmosphere, as the bakery items, coffee and tea offerings are sure to kick away any cases of the Mondays.

Plus, they are open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. and only close their doors on Christmas and Thanksgiving Days, meaning it’s nearly always the perfect spot for a gathering, a homework session or simply a relaxing spot to read your favorite book.

And, while many coffeeshops often fill with just one type of person, that’s not the case at Blue Monday.

“Lots of people come in, little babies to 90 year olds and every one in between,” Riggins said.

“It’s the best quality you can get anywhere,” Riggins said.

Goodbye Blue Monday is located at 319 Division St S in Northfield --Molly Larsen

Best Indian Food, Best Buffet and Best Vegetarian Friendly Restaurant - Chapati, Northfield It’s somewhat fitting that this year, Chapati was lauded for a second year in a row with the titles of “Best Indian Food,” “Best Buffet,” and the “Best Vegetarian Friendly Restaurant” with our readers. This October marks 15 years since restauranteur Norman Butler established Chapati, located on the first floor of the Archer House hotel in downtown Northfield.

After arriving in Northfield, Butler found the two things he missed the most from his homeland in England were “Pub Life” (a void he filled by opening his other establishment, The Contented Cow) and Indian food.

Butler attributes his continued success to his ability to keep abreast of the changing tastes, as well as of the “discerning tastes” of the people in the community. He also can’t stress enough the contributions of the crew he has working in the restaurant to assist in creating the welcoming and relaxed atmosphere—and of course, there’s the rich, worldly aromas and tastes from the food! Scene staff favorites include the Garlic Naan, the Chicken Korma, the vegetarian Chana Masala, and the mango pudding from the lunch buffet (for those of us with a bit of a sweet tooth.)

Best Pizza - Red Barn Pizza Farm, Northfield It’s a Wednesday evening and the Red Barn Farm is filled with families and groups of friends enjoying its famous pizza. Some groups have brought chairs and fold-out tables; others just sit on the grass. Kids chase chickens, laughing excitedly, while the older visitors listen to the bluegrass music wafting out of the barn, courtesy of a live band. No one minds waiting half an hour for a pizza, because everyone knows it’s worth the wait—besides, it gives them more time to socialize with friends, and that’s really what the Red Barn Farm is all about.

As co-founder Pat Winter says, “The whole goal is to sit here and enjoy yourselves.”

Pat said he never planned on moving to the Red Barn Farm and opening a pizza business. Born and raised in Northfield, he worked in real estate for 20 years until the recession hit hard and he had to downsize. When that happened, he and wife Tammy decided to move to the 10-acre Red Barn Farm and wait for the economy to turn around.

That didn’t happen. But Pat says for them, that was actually a good thing.

They planted a garden to try to be more economical, as well as buying chickens, cats, horses and a dog. As their farm grew, Pat, who always enjoyed cooking, began making pizzas. He said he doesn’t have a specialty; he just uses what he has.

“I’ve never written a recipe down or used a cookbook,” he added. “If you’ve got a bunch of good ingredients, it’s hard to go wrong.”

At first, they offered the pizzas to family and friends, but soon they became so popular that they started opening their farm to the public on Wednesdays and some Saturdays. They have a unique business model: customers are expected to bring

everything—from chairs to plates to beverages—but the pizza. But Pat said customers actually enjoy this, because they’re able to create their own personalized dining experience.

Within two years, pizza nights had become so popular that the Winters needed to expand to a bigger kitchen and add another oven to keep up with the demand—but that was going to cost $200,000.

Pat said the only way they were able to reach their goal was through the support of local residents.

“We didn’t have a penny in our pockets,” he said. “It was locals in Northfield who gave us loans. Otherwise, it never would have happened.”

That’s not the only way the community supports the farm. Pat said during summer months, they can have upwards of 300 pizza orders a night, which means hundreds of customers visiting every Wednesday. (This is where the new oven comes in handy, cooking a pizza in 90 seconds.)

The farm offers about eight pizza standards, along with one “pizza of the week.”

Pizzas change depending on the seasons and what vegetables are fresh.

Pat estimates that about 80 percent of the farm’s customers are from out of town, coming from all corners of Minnesota and beyond.

“It has become a destination,” he said, adding that almost all their business comes from word-of-mouth.

In addition to pizza nights, the farm has found a second use as a popular wedding location, with a wedding nearly every weekend during summer and fall months.

For weddings, the Winters and their staff offer a full dinner menu (unless the wedding party wants just pizza, which is surprisingly popular for those events). They tried renting out the barn without their catering services, but everyone wanted their cooking.

Most of the work for the Red Barn Farm

Get ready for the holidays! shopping opener: november 7-8 & 14-15

comes from Pat, Tammy and their children, Max, 20, and Hannah, 18. Other family members and friends also come by to help out whenever there is a need. “[Tammy and I] are side by side 24/7, and we love it,” Pat said. “We’re like a bunch of kids out here. This is our cabin, our house, our oasis and our playground.”

The Red Barn Farm’s season runs about six months, from May to October. According to Pat, the season is a sunrise to sunset affair, since there is so much preparation before cooking even begins. But to him, it’s totally worth it. He grew up visiting grandparents’ farms, so he knows the value of letting kids chase chickens, climb trees and learn about where food comes from.

“Our biggest excitement is getting families out here to enjoy the farm,” he said.

He said this winter will be the first real “off season” for the farm, since he used to still work in real estate previously. He and Tammy aren’t sure yet what they’ll do, but they know one part of their time off will be dedicated to helping out in the community.

They already donate their cooking skills to worthwhile causes, and they hope to do even more when they have more free time.

“The more you give, the more you get,” he said.

As for the future, the couple has a few ideas they’re looking to explore. They recently planted grapes and hops in the hopes of being able to make wine and beer later. But overall, they just plan to keep

doing what they’re doing.

“It’s a very, very rewarding career that we were fortunate to stumble into,” Pat said. “We love what we do. If you can make money off what you love, hell, you’re blessed. We’re damned lucky.”

Best After Bar Food Basils Pizza Palace

On a late Sunday morning after a long Saturday night, there can be no better friend than the food you were able to gobble down after the bartender poured you out onto the street at closing time.

Breakfast tends to be a pretty popular idea at 1 a.m., but I’ve always wondered why anyone would go get some scrambled eggs when pizza is a perfectly viable option.

In Northfield, the night owls from the Tavern Lounge, The Contented Cow, Froggy Bottoms and The Rueb ‘n’ Stein know the best place to get some food before you are really ready to head home is Basil’s Pizza. Not only are they the best mom & pop pizza joint in a town where there are a lot of mom & pop pizza joints, they understand that they serve a public need. They’re open until 2 a.m., and will deliver that late, too. It’s always a comfort to see Nate or Gary showing up with a large pepperoni and gyro and an extra container of tzatziki sauce. We love them for it. And in our whiskey and beer soaked state at 1:34 a.m., we probably tell them that, too.

Best Burger - Boonie’s Bar & Girl, Millersburg Boonie’s burgers have helped put the small town of Millersburg on the map.

Boonie’s has a selection of ten different burgers on the menu and pays homage to the James-Younger Gang. Members of the Younger Gang travelled through Millersburg on their way to Northfield.

This business has burgers named after Frank and Jesse James, along with photos, a painting, and a plaque that recites the impact of Millersburg residents on thwarting the bank raid. The most popular burgers are the Millersburger, a 1/3 pound beef patty served with lettuce, tomato, onion, and American cheese while its partner the Boonie burger has three 1/3-pound beef patties, two strips of bacon, Swiss and American cheese, lettuce, tomato and onion on a giant bun.

All Boonie burgers include a dollop of Boonie’s patented special sauce. The sauce makes the burgers special, adding a hint of smoky barbecue flavor to these fresh from the grill burgers. All the burgers come with some of the best French fries in Southern Minnesota.

Boonie’s fries have crispiness other fries do not and more texture than most. A sign for Boonie’s exists on I-35 but if not for that it’d be one of the best little secrets of Southern Minnesota. Instead, it made the list as the Best Burger in Southern Minnesota.

Best Breakfast The Tavern, Northfield Megan Culhane has worked at The Tavern of Northfield for 13 years and said she lost count long ago on how many times she’s heard “you have the best breakfast around.”

A lot of people agree as The Tavern was picked by SCENE magazine readers for having the best breakfast in Southern Minnesota.

“We’re a true scratch kitchen and that reflects back to breakfast,” said Culhane, the Front of House Manager at The Tavern. “Saturday and Sunday mornings, we have people waiting 30-40 minutes for our breakfast. It’s that good.”

Culhane says the Tavern Special (two eggs, choice of meat, Tavern toast with hash browns or cottage cheese) is the Northfield restaurant’s most popular offering.

“It’s still No. 1,” she said, “because it is so good and so affordable.”

The Tavern of Northfield is celebrating its 30th year in historic downtown Northfield and Culhane said the owners and staff still have three important goals in mind: great food, served in a relaxed atmosphere, at a fair price.

glasses of the customers he was serving recently at the Ole Store Store Restaurant in Northfield. “It’s different every day and keeps you on your toes.”

Running not only is a server at the Ole Store Restaurant and The Tavern of Northfield, he doubles as the assistant general manager at both, which puts him in constant contact with people.

“It’s nice to be on the floor working with co-workers,” he said. “I don’t have a secret, but I am very flattered that people have taken notice.”

Megan Culhane, the front of the house manager at The Tavern, said people can’t help but notice Running’s work ethic.

“He has such an infectious personality,” she said. “He’s so outgoing.”

Best Chinese Takeout - Mandarin Garden, Northfield When it comes to finding Chinese food in Northfield, Mandarin Garden has no competition. The family-run restaurant, started in 1981, offers Peking and Szechuan cuisine for both indoor dining and easy takeout.

While many other Chinese restaurants put the most effort into their buffets, Mandarin Garden focuses instead on made-to-order dishes—and that’s why their customers love them, according to co-owner Pai Yang.

“With so many buffets going around, not too many people have the skill of just making individual dishes,” Yang said. “They’re nice and fresh, and the food has a feeling of tender loving care. We put our heart and soul into it.”

Another reason they’re so popular is because of the generous sizes of their dishes, which can usually be split into two meals.

The menu features delicacies such as egg rolls, cream cheese wontons, chow mein, fried rice and sweet and sour shrimp, along with every kind of meat and vegetable pairing imaginable. Yang said they’ve also recently added some “Chinese comfort food” because of the increasing number of Chinese students studying in nearby colleges.

Takeout or dine in, Mandarin Garden is definitely worth a visit—and a taste.

Best Cupcake Cakewalk, Northfield Apple pie, cookies and crème, blueberry pancake—these are just a few of dozens of cupcake flavors available at Cakewalk, a Northfield bakery that has something for just about everyone.

Are you a chocolate lover? Check out the Oh My Gosh Ganache, a black velvet cupcake filled with ganache, dripped in ganache with chocolate curls on top.

More into fruit flavors? Try the Blueberry Sunshine, a lemon cupcake with blueberry buttercream and topped with fresh blueberries.

Then there are the flavors for the more adventurous crowd: Chocolate Stout, a Chocolate Stout cake with Bailey’s cream cheese icing. PB & J, a white cake with strawberry jam filling and topped with peanut butter buttercream. Maple and bacon, which is exactly what it sounds like.

According to Cakewalk owner Jodie Breathwaite, she and her staff find flavor inspiration everywhere, especially as the seasons change. For example, they just came out with a Pumpkin Snickerdoodle cupcake in honor of the crisp autumn weather. Breathwaite takes great pride in what she does, using only the best ingredients and serving freshly baked cupcakes every day.

Any one of her cupcakes is enough to put a smile on someone’s face, but with more than 70 decadent flavors—she deserves to be a little proud.

Best Lunch and Best Sub or Sandwich - Hogan Brothers, Northfield What do you want to talk about first?

The bread? Probably we should start there. They make it fresh every day. It’s a honey-cracked wheat recipe that is rich and crisp outside and amazingly tender inside.

It’s the bread that’s the secret. You want a great sandwich, Hogan Brothers Acoustic Café in Northfield is the place to go. For the second year in a row, “Hoagie Town” has been named the Best sandwich in Southern Minnesota, and now you wise voters have gone ahead and said “Yeah, it’s the Best Lunch too.”

The sandwiches can come hot or cold. You can do roast beef, ham, salami, turkey, all the fixins. The only constant – aside from the bread – is you should really make sure you get the special sauce. Don’t ask what it is, just eat it. It’s amazing.

But there are other reasons to have lunch at Hogan Brothers. Soup, for example. From tortellini and sausage, to Yukon Gold potato & corn chowder, to the absolutely perfect beer cheese, there are always no less than six choices on the menu on any given day. And like the bread (which you can order with your soup), it’s all made fresh, from scratch, every day.

And then there are the muffins (chocolate chip raspberry, pumpkin, blueberry corn) the rice krispy treats, and the ice cream.

Oh hey, did I mention there’s beer, too?

Exactly. It’s paradise for people who love lunch almost as much as they love their mother.

Best Bread - Brick Oven Bakery, Northfield For the last 16 years, Brick Oven Bakery has been evoking taste bud parties throughout Southern Minnesota with their handcrafted breads and sweet treats.

Everything is made from scratch and right on site. Thirteen breads are available every day, while Tuesday through Saturday feature rotating breads of the day.

Breads range from typical sandwich breads in flavors such as the Children’s Pleasure (the most popular white bread at Brick Oven), Oatmeal and Country Wheat.

The Rustic loaf is also a must-try. When owner Dean Christensen took over the shop last year, he made a few modifications to the favorite.

“It’s colorful and crusty and it’s been received well,” he said.

Christensen modified and debuted several others, including a Deli Rye, French Sourdough and a multigrain that includes supergrain, Quinoa.

Another reason to stop at Brick Oven? They are baking several gluten-free varieties of their bread. Oat bread, Oat Onion and Garlic, Pumpkin with Craisins and Cornbread, as well as several muffins are crafted with gluten-free ingredients.

They might be the best bread winner, but if we didn’t mention the infamous Sticky Caramel rolls and Cinnamon rolls, we might as well have burned the bread.

“We’re pretty well known for our rolls,” Christensen added.

“We have a pretty loyal customer base, people have been coming here for a long time,” he said. “In addition to our quality bread, we work really hard to provide good customer service, to meet the wishes of our customers,” he said.

Best Fried Chicken - The Quarterback Club, Northfield When Dale Finger started working at the Quarterback Club back in 1978, the broasted chicken was pretty popular.

Fast forward to 2014 and it’s still popular. In fact, it’s one of the top three items on the QB Club menu along with the burgers and ribs.

“It’s always been a favorite,” said Finger, who estimates that the Northfield restaurant serves about 2,000 pieces of broasted chicken each week.

A lot of people agree the Northfield restaurant’s chicken is tops as the Quarterback Club was picked by SCENE magazine readers for having the best fried chicken in Southern Minnesota in 2014.

Finger said his chicken’s longevity on the “favorites” list of many people is due in part to those making the chicken.

“We’ve had Lorie and Steve Estrem, June Edwardson, myself and now Blake Polzin making the chicken the same way for a long time now,” Finger said. “Add all of our years up together and we’re pushing 100 years of experience.”

Finger likes what he serves and believes like others, that it truly is the best around.

“If the Colonel could make chicken as good as the Quarterback Club, he’d be a general.”

Farrington isn’t alone in this endeavor. Her husband Eric is the donut chef for the bakery, and is responsible for some of the most popular items in the store including the Maple Bacon Long John and the Cheesecake Long John.

Mike Petersen, the owner of Serenity Leaf Tea, who also helps out at Perfect Day says people sometimes just stare at all the treats in a kind of daze.

“They all tell me everything looks so good that they can’t decide,” he said.

Best Mom & Pop Diner The Kitchen, Owatonna

Best Dessert, Best Treats to Bring to the Office and Best Donut - Perfect Day Cakes and Bakery, Owatonna Thea Farrington had great parents.

When she was diagnosed at a very young age with Type I diabetes, her dad started learning sugar free recipes so that there would be better food in the house for her to eat.

“I was always just there in the kitchen watching him,” she said. “And then my mom got me started decorating.”

Farrington took that first direction and ran with it, to the point where she is now the owner of Perfect Day Cakes and Bakery in Owatonna, where you can find Southern Minnesota’s Best Donut, Best Dessert and Best Treats to Bring to the Office.

Farrington is an artist. The decoration on her cakes offers the same attention to detail as any conventional sculptor, from the untied laces of a skate on a Minnesota Wild themed cake, to the lilies and flowers on top of her cupcakes.

“I grew up in a house full of artists,” she said, “so it’s hard for me to call myself one.”

Nevertheless her work speaks for itself.

There really isn’t anything better than sitting on a diner stool and receiving a greeting stripped of all formalities.

Whether you are a familiar face or not, you can always expect a friendly greeting from Linda Escobedo, owner of The Kitchen restaurant, located on the edge of downtown Owatonna.

The front of the diner is surrounded by windows and beneath the Mason jar lights is the lunch bar where you can sit on a stool and make conversation with whoever comes and sits down next. If you come in for dinner, you come through the back and are seated in a dimmed, decorated dining area.

Linda, who has been at the restaurant since 1975, says “We love what we do, everyone that works here, and all of our customers.” She also notes their success stems from great home cooked food with a small town atmosphere. “My great grandparents came here every Friday. Everyone always joked with my grandpa, Red, that he was known for being the sweet man who carries his wife’s purse.”

building, with a walk up paved area. It was probably a driveway and a tuck-under garage when the building was first built, but this is a much better idea. Don’t let the unassuming nature of this place fool you. This is no fly-by-night operation. Blast Soft Serve is the Best Ice Cream in Southern Minnesota.

Talk to the Owatonna locals, and they’ll talk about how good the ice cream is, and how inexpensive it is for the portions they serve.

Blast offers cones, “flurries” which are comparable to another weather-named treat offered by the royal competition, and sundaes with enough topping choices to keep your mind busy for a solid ten minutes just imagining the possibilities.

Alas, we give you this information at a time when Blast has closed down for the winter.

However, you can be assured that once spring rolls around they’ll be back to make spring and summer just that much better.

Best Wings - Wings Tavern and Grille Chicken wings are universal. Most kitchens are stocked with fryers, chickens and sauce. The natural thing would be to put those things together.

Following the establishment’s namesake, Wings Tavern and Grille holds the distinction of the best wings this year. It’s a friendly looking spot down on Owatonna’s southside that has essentials—beer, bar food and televisions.

While most of its menu is fryer-based, Wing’s wings are a popular selection. They come by the dozen or half-dozen, and in a variety of flavors. You’ve got your garlic and cracked pepper, honey BBQ, regular BBQ and chipotle. Then of course there’s the heat index—mild, hot and xxx. Beer helps with the xxx.

Best Pancakes and Best Fish Fry - Kernel Restaurant, Owatonna

-- Matt Hudson

A hidden gem of Owatonna hides between a Ford dealership and the Budget Host Inn. The sheer number of cars parked in the lot is often mistaken for being part of the dealership it sits so closely to. Those who have been acquainted know that it is simply the usual crowd that swarms into The Kernel for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is definitely one of the places where you say to your meal date, “We need to go, it’s going to be packed!”

Even if you do arrive a bit behind schedule, the staff will you get you the seat of your preference within minutes.

The Kernel has been in business since 1981, offering home cooked favorites and legendary desserts. They serve breakfast any time of day which means you can eat their celebrated pancakes whenever you please. It is difficult to leave without bumping in to someone you know, and given the family friendly atmosphere, the people in the next booth over are likely to join in your conversation. It is a gathering place for many age groups who look to sit with their friends and chat about news, gossip, family, and how old shoes make your feet hurt. In addition to their pancakes and fish fry, this treasure won the 2014 Lawrence Family Chili Cook-Off for Owatonna’s Best Chili.

Best Mexican Restaurant - El Tequila Northfield, Owatonna and Faribault There is a lot of Mexican restaurant competition happening in Owatonna, including one location that seems to just open and close a new restaurant every few months. One Mexican establishment that has been around for quite some time and isn’t going anywhere any time soon is El Tequila. For over 18 years, El Tequila has been satisfying the Southern Minnesota community with their authentic Mexican dishes and family atmosphere.

Although they wish to share the delicious food of their culture, they also offer many vegetarian and American entrée’s to accommodate everyone in your family. There are five locations across the Southern Minnesota region and they are remaining afloat just fine with their drink specials, renowned desserts, and of course the free chips and salsa!

Best Italian Restaurant - Andiamo Italian Ristorante, Owatonna

hearty hibachi meals. And last in the prep process, though not least, is a nice presentation of the sushi. The stuff looks good on a plate.

There’s kind of a tradition with Italian restaurants in this country. In Italy, cafés are social centers; places where communities gather. A good American Italian restaurant will try to be that same sort of place by offering good quality food, friendly and familiar service and a menu that is both economical and ever-changing.

Andiamo Italian Ristorante in Owatonna doesn’t just hope to be that kind of place, they base their entire business philosophy on it. Rather than being a place for special occasions, which seems to run against Italian culture, they are, as they put it in their website, “a neighborhood family spot before anything else.”

Of course it helps that everything on the menu is delicious. From the Bruschetta to the Penne Cardinal to the Spumoni, there is nothing served at Andiamo’s that isn’t top quality.

Owner and chef Ramon Ortiz has worked with Italian food for more than thirty years, and has a very keen sense of not just what works together, but what will make his customers happy. And full.

The Lone Star BBQ and Grill in St. Peter is owned by award-winning barbecuers Mary and John Svendsen.

After returning to Minnesota from owning a barbecue pit-making business in Texas, the Svendsens opened the restaurant almost two years ago because they wanted to bring high-quality barbecue back to their home state.

Not only has that barbecue won Best BBQ in Southern Minnesota, it has also won the Best Fries and a chef-created recipe helped it win Best Appetizer as well.

With a waste-conscious chef, Matt Anderson, in the kitchen, the appetizer uses meat from ribs rolled inside of a mashed potato ball that’s then breaded and deep fried.

“If we couldn’t make something extraordinary, it wouldn’t be on the menu,” John Svendsen said of his restaurant philosophy.

Best Supper Club. “We’re more of a home-style, from scratch, local place where people can come in and find good food and a great beer assortment,” she said. The three-page menu filled with everything under the sun is only one of the many attractions. They also offer Friday fish fry, daily specials, and their hit item, Rudy’s Signature Steak. The steak is named after owner Heidi Elwood’s father.

Although Ranchero has continually focused on truly figuring out the business all these years, Elwood said the title of Best Supper Club in Southern Minnesota confirms it. “This makes us feel like we’re doing it right,” she said.

someone is going to be looking for. With such a wide variety of items for sale, it’s not too common that people do not find what they are looking for. Marsden said throughout the years, he has seen regular shoppers who check in quite frequently, mainly looking for items like antique coins. Don’t expect an item to stick around too long as most items go pretty fast. However, from time to time, he said some of the items begin to ‘grow roots.’

Best Hair Salon, Best Massage/ Spa Service, Best Hairstylist (Cheryl Kleeberger) – Studio 14, Faribault It’s a three-for-one at Studio 14 Salon and Spa in Faribault. The Central Avenue shop boasts the Best Hair Salon, Best Massage/Spa Service and the Best Hairstylist in manager and owner, Cheryl Kleeberger.

“It’s our experience, our staff varies from new to having up to 30 years of experience,” Kleeberger said. Studio 14’s staff ranges in ages and backgrounds, too, making it easy for any client to walk in and find a stylist they can connect with.

“Our salon is colorful and full of personality,” Kleeberger said.

Visit Studio 14 for all and everything salon: haircuts, colors, styles; manicures, pedicures, skincare and waxes; makeup application, massages and facials.

Massages are a known way to ease muscle tension and improve mental clarity; with three massage therapists and two rooms dedicated to massage services, clients are surely in for a blissful and relaxing time. Plus, that room is easily morphed into one for couples’ massages. Studio 14 has recently debuted Farmhouse Fresh products, too. Farmhouse is 80-95 percent natural for the eco-friendly.

Kleeberger has been working her magic on tresses since 2001. She’s Faribault born and raised, but spent time working in salons in the Twin Cities before returning to town.

“I just love my clients,” she said.

People don’t just visit salons for cut, colors and waxes; they are often seeking the comradery and conversation. Kleeberger most certainly provides both.

“I get to make my clients feel better all day,” she said.

Kleeberger’s specialty: Updos, brides and bridal parties.

Best Hardware Store Faribault Ace Hardware It is certain you will find what you need, when you need it, at a price you’ll love and even a snack at Ace Hardware in Faribault. Stroll through this store with a free bag of popcorn and you are sure to find the supplies you need to get any job done.

Southern Minnesota says to visit Ace Hardware if you need absolutely anything that falls in to the following categories: tools, cleaning supplies, building hardware, outdoor living furniture, electrical supplies, lawn and garden supplies, plumbing, paint and even sporting goods. The store has been noted for their variety as well as their expert staff.

This hardware store has so much more to offer than simply what you can find on their shelves. Owners Kathryn and Joe Donahue have found a way to keep good employees around. As a way to say thank you for the commitment and hard work from their employees, the Donahue’s give their high school employees a little something when they head off to college. After four months of employment, the Donahue’s start tracking their employee’s hours, and after high school graduation, the funds are sent to the college of the student’s choice.

So if you’re in high school you better apply now. And if you’re looking to repair the toilet, build a deck, or throw around a football, head into Ace Hardware of Faribault.

Haskell’s Manager, Mike Ferrise, has been in the wine usiness for twelve years, but Fritzi and Benny Haskell became purveyors of wine and spirits upon the repeal of Prohibition in 1934. Good business plan! They started with a single store in downtown Minneapolis that became “the place to go.” Under the tutelage of current owner, Jack Farrell, they’ve grown to thirteen stores, all in Minnesota and have become the largest spirits and craft beer retailer in the country.

Using their buying power they can offer the best product at the best prices. They have the largest wine sales in the country as well, every Spring and Fall. But their true specialty is events where they introduce wines and spirits to the customer. Join the Bacchus Wine Society wine club or attend their Annual St. Croix Wine and Beer Cruise in July or the Annual Holiday Show at the Faribault Golf Club in December to get a feel for their knowledge and expertise. Or simply stop in to one of their frequent tastings with their wine or beer reps.

Their knowledgeable staff can always help you choose just the right item for your needs, whatever your pallet or budget.

Best Cheese Selection - The Cheese Cave, Faribault The Cheese Cave has the very best selection of cheese in Southern Minnesota.

You will not find American cheese there.

They carry ‘hand-crafted’ artisan cheese.

The difference is night and day. “The staff is constantly learning,” according to Jacob Rothstein, cheese aficionado for the past three and a half years and Manager Mary Meyers. They attend shows and are invited by cheese makers to sample their wares. If what they try is not great they don’t carry it.

The heart of their business is the World-Class Blue Cheese that they make and age right here in the Caves of Faribault. They also age other cheese makers’ cheeses in their caves.

It’s called affinage, or controlling the caves to age cheese to its maturity. But they also carry cheeses from around the World, but only the best. So when you buy aged imported parmesan at the Cheese Cave it is ‘head and shoulders’ above an aged imported parmesan from the grocery store. And every cheese has a story. You learn about it; where it’s from, how long it’s aged, how to use it, what it tastes like! Try the cave-aged Gouda. You’ll never buy American Cheese again.

We talked for a while and it was obvious to me they knew their stuff! They pride themselves not only on the fact that they serve the highest quality high end USDA Choice beef (and sometimes Prime!) but they routinely match any price in town.

Their customer service skills are the highest quality as well. It’s the Fareway Foods philosophy. Now here’s a rarity; Jason has been working for Fareway for 15 years! He joined them right out of High School and couldn’t imagine a better company to work for.

Best Furniture Store Erickson Furniture, Faribault I think it is safe to say a certain family furniture store that has been around since 1921 has the business figured out. What began as a small furniture store in central Minnesota, now has three locations, 16,000 square feet of showroom, and to top that, even more warehouse space.

Erickson Furniture first came to Faribault in 1956 and has seen nothing but success.

Looking for a specific style, color or price?

With the amount of showroom space this business has, chances are you’ll be leaving Erickson’s with more than just a couch in your pickup. Though, it’s much more than furniture store. One can find almost any home accent piece to coordinate with your new furniture like lamps, clocks, pictures, or rugs scattered throughout the entire store. Not only do they provide a massive selection of home furnishings and superior customer service, they will offer you interior design tips from their experienced staff.

If you are looking for traditional, casual, or even high end style for your bedroom, living room, or kitchen, Erickson Furniture has what you need to help you design the room of your dreams.

Best Insurance Agent - Barton Jackson, American Family Insurance, Faribault It is difficult to find an insurance office where earning your trust is their policy.

American Family Insurance agent, Bart Jackson, has the same values as both his father and grandfather had in their time as agents, giving customers peace of mind by making their insurance experience easy and convenient. He is an agent who is honest, hard-working, knowledgeable and most important, is there when you need him.

Not one policy works for everyone but that’s where Jackson thrives. He is committed to finding a policy that fits you and only you. But once the policy is put in place, don’t expect to lose touch with Jackson as he is known to check in with his clients. Whether it’s following up on a claim or reviewing a policy, know that Jackson is all about building a solid relationship.

So, while looking for a new insurance agent, be sure to ask yourself one question. Do you want to be taken care of? For those of you who do, Southern Minnesota urges you to call Bart Jackson!

Best Greenhouse/ Garden Center Donahue’s Greenhouse, Faribault If you are looking for a quality Clematis in the spring or elaborate wreaths in the winter, Donahue’s Greenhouse of Faribault has what you need for any season.

When you buy those extravagant flowers for your landscaping in the summer, you might not think about heading back to that same garden center in December.

However, that is exactly what you do at Donahue’s. The family business that began in 1972 has successfully trickled down the family tree. Julie Zweber is just one of the seven Donahue siblings that work full-time in the garden center, and yet, her mother is still very much a part of the business.

Donahue’s brings people in from all over the area, from Blaine and Rochester to Austin and Iowa. What Donahue’s is really known for is their Clematis, a flowering vine.

With more than 130 varieties of Clematis vine, Donahue’s has continued to fill perennial gardens for years. With such help from the friendly and knowledgeable staff, it is no surprise Southern Minnesota voted Donahue’s as the Best Garden Center.

Donahue’s Greenhouse is located at 420 10th St SW in Faribault --Brad Phenow

Best Craft Store - JoAnn Fabrics In its first year in Faribault, mega craft store JoAnn Fabrics wasted no time in claiming the top spot in the Best Craft Store category.

With seemingly endless amounts of fabrics choices and craft supplies, it’s no wonder they are the best in Southern Minnesota.

But Jo-Ann’s isn’t just for those who are DIY-extraordinaires or those who know how to 26 w w w. s o u t h e r N m i nn SCENE. c o m u N O V EM B ER 2 0 1 4

Jo-Ann’s has a stated vision of ICARE, standing for Inspiration, Compassion, Accountability, Respect and Engagement.

“Jo-Ann team members are eager to provide assistance and answer questions,” said the website.

Best Photographer - Kids - Jason & Amy Malwitz Photography, Mankato Amy Malwitz was plenty surprised upon hearing that she and husband Jason of Malwitz Photography were named “Best Photographer – Kids” for Southern Minn Scene. The Mankato couple still work out of their home at 408 West Pleasant Street and like many small photography businesses, their bread and butter is in weddings and senior pictures.

But that doesn’t mean they don’t sink their energies into a growing part of their business – taking children’s photos. It’s important to them and, obviously, has found its mark among Southern Minn readers and parents. For Amy, the reason is simple and points directly inward, to her and Jason’s four children. Here’s what the couple’s website says about that: “We have been blessed with four beautiful gifts from God, our children, and it was through them that our desire to start Malwitz Photography began.”

The couple’s work can be sampled at malwitzphotography.com or on Facebook. Call them at 507-420-8192.

Best Meat Market Nerstrand Meats and Catering For more than 100 years, Nerstrand Meats & Catering has offered folks delicious, old-fashioned meats. The familyowned business was started in 1890 by William “Butch” Roth, after he was asked to slaughter a cow for a local hotel that needed meat for its guests. From there, a legacy was born.

The store offers everything from turkey sticks to bologna to jerky to even pizza.

Some are the “usual” cut of meat, like normal bacon strips, while others are more adventurous, like the wild rice or pineapple bratwurst that can be purchased.

Many of the items are prepared from recipes that have been in the family since the beginning, while others are created by current owner (and Roth’s grandson) Clyde Heggendahl, who has worked in the store 63 years. Even though he’s turning 80 this year, Heggendahl hasn’t slowed down when it comes to experimenting with flavors and coming up with tasty new ways to prepare his meats.

Mary Heggendahl, Clyde’s wife, said their store is so popular because of their “old fashioned” preparation techniques—but it surely doesn’t hurt that every visitor is offered samples of their most popular items. Once you taste it, you can’t walk out without buying something to take with you.

Best Liquor Store Firehouse Liquor, Dundas Customers who head to Firehouse Liquor have become familiar with the exceptional customer service they receive at every visit. If you are looking for a beer, Firehouse Liquor probably has it—I mean, they do have over 700 to choose from.

Even if they do not have in stock what you are specifically looking for, they will put an order in for you. Owner Sean Adams says he gets three to four customer requests a week for a specific beer or liquor. He recently spent three weeks tracking down a specific bourbon for one customer.

Adams is a second generation owner of Firehouse Liquor and has worked there since he turned 18. He has set customer service as his priority, even helping customers carry out their purchase to their vehicle. “We try to give the best service that we possibly can,” says Adams.

In addition to beer and liquor, Firehouse also offers a wide variety of wines and its staff will go out of its way to help you find the right one. “We don’t offer a sommelier on hand, but we have vast experience,” says Adams. “Most of us have gone to many tastings. We like to find out what you like and use our knowledge to find something for you.”

had to give that filling station up because of aging tanks. But, the Witt Brothers can offer warranty-backed work through Napa which boosts their already outstanding customer service. Though, that does not change the way they conduct business, Mike adds, “We try to fix things the first time.”

The location of the garage on Division Street provides convenience for people coming in for a quick repair so they can drop the car off and run errands while they wait.

Despite changes in the past, the brothers continue to uphold their promise of high-quality service at honest and fair prices.

Best Manicure LA Nails, Northfield

Polish up another Best of win in the Best Manicure category for LA Nails in Northfield.

A serene atmosphere and music floating throughout the shop are the shellac of a gel manicure—the icing on the cake so to speak; it just tops off the experience you’ll get at LA Nails.

Along with manicures, pedicures and waxing treatments are also available at the store located on Clinton Lane.

Tu Quach and her husband, Minh, ensure everything is sparkling clean, too— the pedicure chairs are pipeless, making it tough for germs to linger.

Add in Tu and Minh’s charming personalities with the clean and relaxing environment and LA Nails is a triple threat. Tu and Minh are likely able to create any design you’re looking for too. Check it out for yourself and walk out with nails worthy of showing off!

Best Service Garage - Witt Brothers, Northfield The Witt family has been working on cars in Northfield since 1971, but their service extends beyond repairing a vehicle. If you are a person who is reassured when seeing a familiar face work on your vehicle, Mike and Mark Witt are the brothers to go see. The pair grew up working on cars in their father’s garage at the same location where the shop stands today.

The level of service used had advanced the business into a full-service filling station.

Best Senior Pictures Photographer - Angela Lauterbach, Northfield It’s hard to miss Angela Lauterbach’s Texas drawl.

The Northfield photographer’s Southern charm seemingly pervades everything she does in life and work.

That’s part of the reason Lauterbach was picked by SCENE magazine readers for being the best photographer of senior portraits in Southern Minnesota.

Lauterbach says her approach to photography has to do with her attitude of service for others. Her ability to capture images of the things people love most comes not just from talent or knowledge, but also from a true desire to be of service, she says.

“When I am behind a camera, I’m invited to share in things that are dear and special to the people on the other side of my lens. That’s a huge honor,” she says. “I work with preservation in mind: how do the people here now, seeing this and living it, want to feel when they look at these photos in 40 years?”

Lauterbach believes the folks who use her services know how she works and know she approaches every shoot with professionalism.

“I take the business side of photography as seriously as I do the aesthetic side,” she says.

Best Kayak/Canoe Rental and Best Outdoor/Athletic Store - Gear Resource, Northfield The name says it all at The Gear Resource in Northfield, the one-stop shop for camping, snowshoeing and canoeing. This year, owners Robert and Nicole Stai celebrated the two-year anniversary of their business along with winning the Best Outdoors/Athletic Store category for the second consecutive year. The Gear Resource also picked up a win as the Best Kayak/Canoe Rental spot in Southern Minnesota.

The Stai’s started their shop after a life-changing adventure in Peru. The couple backpacked together through the Andes Mountains and decided that there was no way they could return to everyday life after such a remarkable experience. Instead, they chose to empower people to explore nature by supplying them with the resources to do so. However, supplying the resources extends beyond simply selling the material items at The Gear Resource. It also means holding classes on outdoor activities like camping and snowshoeing.

Robert and Nicole lead guided snowshoeing treks in the winter called “Shoes and Brews.”

Participants are taken off the beaten path and the journey is wrapped up with a visit to a brewery or winery depending on the setting they have chosen.

Booking a canoe or kayak rental is made easy with The Gear Resource, as a person can make reservations online. They’ll even drop you off to start your voyage down the Cannon River and pick up the canoe or kayak after your adventure is complete. The goal of The Gear Resource is to help people truly enjoy their experience in the outdoors!

Best Organic Selection Just Food Co-op, Northfield

winner of the “Best Organic Selection” for a second year in a row.

Buying organic foods, especially produce, is a good reminder that what you eat is supposed to taste like something, and it’s a great way to feel confident in what you are putting into your body. Just Food’s Marketing Manager Stephanie Aman stresses that in today’s concern over products containing Genetically Modified Organisms (or GMOs, as you may see them called in the media)—you won’t find those when you are purchasing organic at the Co-op, and all of the organic items in the store are branded with the USDA’s organic seal of approval.

Best Doctor Dr. Kristen Tapper For Dr. Kristen Tapper, it’s all about her patients.

“Being with a family or a patient for years and watching families grow, and being part of all that, that’s the best part of my job,” she said.

Tapper grew up in Duluth, Minnesota and attended the College of St. Benedict’s for her undergraduate studies before earning her master’s degree at the University of Minnesota. She said she wanted to become a doctor because she loves science and wanted hands-on work helping people.

She and her husband moved to Northfield about five years ago and she has worked at Allina Health Northfield Clinic ever since. She said she doesn’t plan on ever leaving.

Tapper is a board certified physician, specializing in family medicine. She especially enjoys working with kids, drawing on her experience as a mother of two. She is a member of the American Medical Association and American Academy of Family Physicians, and when she’s not working, she enjoys spending time with her family and running half marathons.

Earlier in the spring, the pranksters at The Onion released a news headline reading “Study finds 14% of Americans now intolerant to the word ‘Gluten.’” And while we can maybe remember what it feels like to laugh as we read that, the truth is, in 2014, people take their food very seriously.

Best Second Hand Store – Uptown Consignment, Owatonna Despite the incessant campaigning and mudslinging that occurs when people vote for what they think is the “Best” of Southern Minnesota, occasionally you come across someone who is genuinely taken aback by the receipt of the title.

Paula Benschoter and her husband opened Uptown Consignment five years ago, and she had no idea that her customer base had even nominated her for the “Best Consignment/Thrift Store” in Southern Minnesota, let alone that she won.

Dubbed “Owatonna’s Destination for Exceptional Quality at an Attractive Price,” Uptown

Consignment offers an array of women’s clothing—including casual attire, accessories, and formalwear; and home décor.

Benschoter said that her passion is in customer service, and that she often spends time brainstorming with the customers for new ways to decorate.

“We are very grateful to the friends we have made in Owatonna that make us feel so welcome!”

Best Barber Shop Johnson’s Barber Shop, Owatonna This is a true barbershop—three chairs, 50-cent soda in the corner and no frills.

No appointments, either.

“If someone’s sitting there, you know you’re next,” said a man sitting in the shop.

It was started in 1959 in the old Owatonna Hotel building. Current proprietor Gary Johnson was on hand when his father founded the business. Through all those years cutting hair, Gary said he has a lot of regulars.

It’s just how you would picture a classic barbershop. There’s one room with a TV in the corner, three old chairs lined up with three sinks behind and a nice-looking man with a comb in his breast pocket lines you up with a solid haircut.

Best Tanning Salon - Haute Tanning, Owatonna and Faribault Haute Tanning is a local salon opened

by Laura Brady in 2011. Since then, the salon now has not one, but three locations; two in Owatonna and one in Faribault.

It is definitely an achievement for a local business to spring up two more locations within three years of opening. The business has even seen new ownership. In 2013, the business was passed on to Cole Johnson, who was the manager and creative director at the time.

Cole Johnson has certainly continued the success of this thriving business by adding several new product lines and hiring management with superior customer service talent. Haute supplies top of the line lotions and tanning products while maintaining their luxurious beds so you get the most out of your tanning experience. Haute also offers Mystic spray tanning and red-light therapy. The staff is extremely knowledgeable in the area of health, beauty and tanning. They can provide you with any information you may need and answer all of your questions.

The business has recently added several natural and organic lines, one being Pure by Katy Clayton. Her products are made with the highest quality ingredients while utilizing the benefits of essential oils. You can find everything from body scrubs and skin treatments, to bar soaps and laundry detergent at your Haute location.

Best Car Detailer and Best Auto Dealer Car Time of Owatonna Many of us turn in to a paranoid lunatic when shopping around for used vehicles.

Certain images come to our minds, like driving away in your new ride and suddenly tires begin soaring across the highway and you spiral out of control. You try to return the vehicle but the fine print you forgot to read tells you otherwise and leaves you stranded. I know I have experienced this irrational fear before.

If you are considering saving a buck and purchasing a quality used vehicle, customers have nothing but trust and comfort for the owners at Car Time in Owatonna.

Customers have commented on the extensive knowledge and honesty that comes out of this business. They are a local dealership that has been in town for years—homegrown and home owned. One owner notes that customer service in a local dealership is extremely important for success and that is by far their best quality. If you are looking to buy, sell, or trade, Car Time takes care of their customers before and after the sale.

Best Wedding Photographer - Brooke Makennah Photography, Owatonna How much do you love Minnesota? Brooke Makennah loves Minnesota. She was born in Florida, and moved here as a kid, graduating from Owatonna High School. She went back to Florida to study graphic arts and advertising, but when she realized that what she really loved to do was take pictures, she came back here again to start her business.

“I love the snow,” she laughed, pronouncing that last “o” like a good Minnesotan. “I love the change of seasons up here. You don’t get that in Ft. Lauderdale.”

Six years later, Brooke is a busy woman, and has been named the Best Wedding Photographer in Minnesota.

It’s the personal contact she makes with her clients that sets her apart.

“I spend a lot of time with my clients on the most important day of their lives,” she said, “and I’m really kind of a baby. Even if I don’t know the people very well, or if I’ve just met them that day, I always cry.”

Her clients obviously love her, and keep her in tears.

“I’ve never paid for advertising, ever,” she said. “All my clients have come through referrals, word of mouth, or the internet.

“I’ve been very lucky that way.”

For more information on Brooke’s photography, please visit www.brookemakennahphotography. zenfolio.com.

Best Music Store Tone Music Somewhere among all those piles of stuff is whatever customers are looking for.

Tone Music is a classic hometown shop that’s less about product presentation and more about having the right piece of equipment. That’s the hallmark of a true musician-run establishment.

Best Bakery Department and Best Produce Department - Hy-Vee Grocery Stores It’s hard to believe that a chain grocery store takes the cake, but then Hy-Vee is no ordinary chain. The company has SoMinn locations in Albert Lea, Austin, Faribault, Owatonna, 2 in Mankato, 3 in Rochester, and a dozen others. Not only are they convenient to most of us in SoMinn, they offer a quality that’s born out of being employee owned.

For the second year in a row, they take home the prize for Best Bakery Department. At Hy-Vee the bakery is able to offer a wide variety to cover all those carbohydrate cravings.

On a daily basis, the skilled staff of bakers churns out dozens of styles of donuts, pies, muffins, pastries and cookies. And on special occasions, Hy-Vee’s bakery is unbeatable in service. Celebrating a 50th anniversary or a 10th birthday? Hy-vee will let you order the cake online and they’ll even deliver. The service is good and the recipes are sweet.

This year Hy-Vee has added the award for Best Produce Department as well. Now, we all know that produce from the farm stand is the way to go, short of buying a CSA share. However the reality of the situation is that we live in Minnesota, where

Best Store for an Unexpected Find, Best Store for Accessories, Best Home Furnishing Store and Best Gift Shop - Country Goods, Owatonna “We were crazy,” said Todd and Grace Lundgren, owners of Country Goods, when asked why they opened the business back in 2003. Todd continued with, “We had been traveling on vacations and we noticed in other parts of the country similar stores. We already owned the property and having a location by Cabela’s helped. I had previously sold a different business and was kind of unemployed.”

Country Goods is more than just a gift shop. I think it is often dubbed as such because no one really knows what to call it. However, what people do know is that you can find virtually anything in this store. This winner of four separate categories is home to gifts, household furnishings, garden items, cookbooks, inspirational pieces, a massive selection of chimes, and just about everything else. “For a variety-type gift store, we are gigantic. People walk in and they don’t even know where to begin,” says Todd.

The couple travels around to places like Atlanta, Georgia to acquire items from the world’s largest gift store. They also go to the wholesale gift market in Minneapolis as well as cash and carry shows. Most of their items are made in the United States, which is an attractive characteristic to many shoppers.

My mother is a huge “it’s the thought that counts” person when shopping around the holidays. She continually goes to Country Goods and never fails to find me the smallest yet most precious gift of anything else I received. As I write this to you, reader, I am sipping coffee from my eclectic mug given to me by my mother, purchased from Country Goods.

Todd and Grace are among the friendliest people I have met. It would be rare to leave this store without finding one thing you did not like or to go without being greeted by Todd or Grace. They are very proud of their business and great at what they do, “I think it is my strange personality, ha! Just kidding. I think it is just we have such a massive variety; I know everyone is pleased with their business no matter how big or small. They are proud and they will brag, but we do have an enormous selection,” says Todd.

Country Goods is located at 4515 NW 22nd Ave, Owatonna -- Autumn Van Ravenhorst

Best Video Game/Game Shop New or Used - Game Stop, Owatonna

the growing season - especially lately - feels like it lasts about three-and-a-half weeks. So, with that said, it’s really hard to not appreciate Hy-Vee. In the dead of winter, you can still go buy a couple good tomatoes, or bananas, and there are always really good avocados for the Super Bowl. With multiple locations, Hy-Vee is the most convenient and trusted place in frozen SoMinn to still get your fruits & veggies.

I am not much of a gamer, myself, but my sister is. This thirteen year old girl has officially beaten every level of Zelda available, even the aggravating Wind Waker which I never could get the hang of. She will slash you with her Wii sword and let you know about the best anime games out there. Her one stop shop for all of her gaming essentials is Game Stop of Owatonna.

My sister, who has found delight in activities that most pre-teen girls laugh at, has made friends at the local Game Stop. They know her as soon as she comes in and gives her suggestions as to what she might like next. This is not something you would expect from such a large retailer like Game Stop. The store allows you to buy, sell, or trade in your games. This is great for mega-gamers as they can save buko-bucks on some of the newer, more expensive games by purchasing them used. You can find both the latest technology and classic favorites. And before you make your final decision, there are gaming stations so you can try it out first!

Best Antique Store Uncle Tom’s Antiques The thing about antique stores is, I can lose hours in them. I can wander into a little hole in the wall and before I know it, I’ve spent 45 minutes working my way through one aisle.

So pardon me if I find Uncle Tom’s Antique Mall a little daunting.

Tom’s is 8000 square feet of treasures.

They have chairs, records, lamps, mirrors, glassware, toys, hats, desks. Chests, bureaus, tools and pretty much anything you could think of, and a lot of stuff you would never think of.

Kim Harlicker and her dad Tom Stockwell opened the store 24 years ago. Stockwell is a certified personal property appraiser, and Harlick very clearly knows what she’s looking at as well. They will buy entire estate sales or make shrewd offers on full car loads of stuff people bring them, just to get the best items.

Over the years, they’ve diversified, as well, becoming Harman Stove dealers and purveyors of rock tumblers. It all fits into the philosophy of finding the best, most interesting things out there and offering them to the public.

So, don’t let the 8000 square feet of showroom scare you. Just block out a day, head over to Owantonna, and check out Uncle Tom’s Antique Mall.

Best Book Store, New or Used Monkey See, Monkey Read, Northfield There is an adage that “Print is dead.”

But please don’t tell that to the dedicated patrons of Northfield’s bookstore, Monkey See Monkey Read. Because they either don’t want to hear it, or just flat out don’t care.

Nestled on Downtown Northfield’s Division Street, Jerry Bilek has owned the store since 2006, and he says he’s seen his business grow each year he’s been in operation, despite the popular belief that printed materials are deceased, and that people who still read are switching over to electronic reading devices, like a Kindle or an iPad. Specializing primarily in used and harder to find books, Bilek also keeps a large inventory of current new books—including current bestsellers, popular fiction, young adult, and children’s books. But whether it was printed last week, last year, or in the 1960s, what keeps people coming back to Monkey See Monkey Read (and probably snagged the store the title

Best Jewelry Store Paffrath Jewelers, Owatonna The history of Paffrath Jewelers is a long one. From a little German town, migration to the United States, many successful business men, and finally an established jewelry store in Owatonna in 1976.

This family business is definitely known for its service and personal care the staff gives to its customers. The current manager at the Owatonna location is Callan Paffrath, who began this family venture at the beginning of this year. She has continued to maintain the quality of Paffrath’s by providing custom designs and extraordinary service. All of their cleaning and inspection is done at no charge and many others services such as engravings are available. Their goldsmith and diamond expert, Joel Earls, has been with the business since the 1980’s. The history behind this business clearly shows they have extensive knowledge and experience to serve your needs. Paffrath’s deep roots give the business the edge it needs to compete in the diamond business.

Paffrath Jewelers is located at 685 West Bridge, Suite #8, Owatonna -- Autumn Van Ravenhorst

Best Gym Dynamic Fitness, Owatonna “What an awesome classroom,” I thought to myself when I walked in to meet Molly Titchenal.

Molly is the owner, operator, instructor and trainer at Dynamic Fitness. She instructs most of the classes, however, she has ten other instructors that teach various classes at the gym. The classes offered are many so whether you’re interested in yoga, Zumba, strength training or want a little one-on-one training you can find it at Dynamic Fitness.

Molly has had her studio for four years. She finds that those that are successful in reaching their fitness goals are those that get support and encouragement along the way. Molly also finds it rewarding when she has the chance to recognize how hard that person has worked and the progress he or she has made. It’s what keeps her going and what drives her to continue to provide a comfortable, clean, state-of-the-art facility for those to get their groove, Zen, or pumped muscles on.

For more information about times, classes and location you can find Molly and the other instructors at www.dynamicfitnessowatonna.com.

Dynamic Fitness is located at 606 Hoffman Drive in Owatonna --Julee Daniels

Best Trainer/ Instructor Tim Anderson, Anytime Fitness, Owatonna Tim Anderson has been the owner of Anytime Fitness in Owatonna since 2002.

He figured that if you’re going to own a gym you’d best know how to properly train the members. Reaching a fitness goal is more than jumping on a treadmill for thirty minutes. A person needs to know how to use the equipment and get support along the entire journey.

Tim has noticed he’s busier now as a trainer and owner. He is enjoying seeing the results in his clients and knows that if someone is going to take on having a trainer and going to a gym, it needs to become a lifestyle. Tim helps his clients make fitness a lifestyle by offering a combination of fitness, diet, exercise and getting enough sleep.

Tim recently moved his gym to a brand new location and I would like to say “Wow!” It’s great and if you’re looking for a place to train, I would take a look and talk to Tim. Tim’s Anytime Fitness center is located at 1010 Hoffman Dr NW in Owatonna --Julee Daniels

Best Dentist or Orthodontist - King Orthodontics Faribault/ Owatonna/Rochester For those who do not go to the dentist regularly, King Orthodontics is known for the welcoming atmosphere before you even enter. The building itself is equipped with a large, smiling glass window that gleams at you when driving past. That alone has made me want to go in and receive orthodontic work.

King Orthodontics has locations in Owatonna, Faribault and Rochester. The business offers options for young children, teens, and adults and the treatments are completely customizable. According to King’s website, “Orthodontics is an art and a science; I take great pride in achieving excellence in both areas for my patients.” Reviews of his work have included phrases such as “They went above and beyond! It was one of the cleanest offices I have ever seen” and even “Without a doubt I would go to him again!” The business is also known for its wonderful care with young children and making them feel as comfortable as possible.

The offices of King Orthodontics are located at 125 28th St. NE, Suite #1 in Owatonna, 1575 20th St. NW, Suite 202in Faribault and 3000 43rd St. NW in Rochester -- Autumn Van Ravenhorst

Best Drycleaners/ Laundromat - Elwood Star Cleaners, Owatonna Venture through time by walking in to Elwood Star Cleaners in downtown Owatonna. It definitely has a quaint, family atmosphere with memorabilia to the left and vintage drycleaner posters to the right. In the back, all that can be heard are machines and the hustle and bustle from employees.

When I met Mark Maisio, he was shocked when I told him I had never been to a drycleaners before. Elwood Star Cleaners is a full service dry cleaning mat that offers expert cleaning and alterations. Maisio states, “We are extremely customer service focused; we do all of our dry cleaning on site. We have personal stake in what we do and how we treat our customers.” This drycleaner can clean your boots and repair your shirt buttons. Maybe even in the same day. The friendly staff and knowledgeable owners makes me feel the urge to rifle through my closets just to find something I can have dry cleaned for the very first time at Elwood Star Cleaners. A tip for you Minnesotans, so they last longer, Maisio strongly suggests you get your coats dry cleaned!

Elwood Star Cleaners is located at 107 County Highway 1 in Owatonna -- Autumn Van Ravenhorst

Best Veterinary/Pet Boarding - Heartland Animal Hospital, Faribault and Owatonna The team at Heartland Animal Hospital exudes passion for what they do. Upon contacting the business, the first person I spoke with exclaimed, “Go Team!” when she heard the results for this year’s best veterinary and pet boarding service.

For many of us, a pet is part of the family and animal owners want them to be treated as such. Care and compassion are two words used to describe the doctors and staff at Heartland. In addition to their kind nature, the doctors are extremely well-rounded in experience and can provide a range of specialty services for both small and large animals. If your pet has a dental issue, they can help you. STEM cell research needed? Boom. You got it. You have a horse, you say? They serve both companion and equine pets. This business that has been around for more than twenty years has an amazing reputation and extensive knowledge to meet both you and your pet’s needs.

Best Men’s Store and Best Place to Rent a Tuxedo - St. Clair’s For Men, Owatonna You have to take your hat off to a store that’s been in business since 1890. In an era when stores can come and go in a matter of months, the ability to say you’ve been in business for a century-and-a-quarter is jaw dropping.

But it’s that consistent dependability that has kept St. Clair’s around for this long, and has them once again standing in the winner’s circle as the Best Men’s Store in Southern Minnesota. And this year they’ve also taken home the prize for Best Place to Rent a Tuxedo.

Greg Krueger has been with the store since 1980, and he says the things that set them apart are simple but rare qualities.

“We still carry a full set of men’s wear – from socks and underwear, to jeans, to suits and everything in between,” he said.

It also helps that they do their own tailoring. Tailor Ruth Ann Priebe “just makes things so much easier,” Krueger said. “It’s impossible to beat our turnaround times because of the work she does.”

Aside from amazing customer service, there’s a civic-mindedness in Krueger’s philosophy as well. For example, St. Clair’s doesn’t sell shoes because there is a shoe store next door, and it makes more sense to work with them than against them.

“In a small town,” he said, “you have to work together.”

a boutique bed and breakfast.

“We make sure the guests are comfortable, enjoy their stay and that everything meets their expectations,” Mary Svendsen said of the role she and her husband fulfill at the hotel.

According to the Svendsens, guests of the Konsbruck include bridal parties, honeymooners, couples who’ve dropped off the kids with the grandparents, and parents of students who attend Gustavus Adolphus College, just up the hill from the hotel.

Konsbruck, as described by Mary Svendsen, is beautiful and romantic with meticulous work and gorgeous furnishings.

Best Ballpark Memorial Park, Dundas Tucked away on the banks of the Cannon River in Dundas, Memorial Park provides a picturesque backdrop for some of the best baseball in Southern Minnesota.

Memorial Park is home to the Dundas Dukes who refer to Dundas as the town of baseball. It’s only fitting that the town of baseball have a park to match its enthusiasm for the game.

The Red Wing Athletic Field might have the bleacher bums, but Dukes fans bring their own chair so they can sit right in front of the fence lined up with first base. The Dukes can typically leave the chirping work to the fans who actively voice their opinions on any close play.

The Dukes also have one of the best grandstands around to get your hot dog, popcorn, burger or beer. The all-wood seating area behind the plate adds to the special appeal of Memorial Park. With the fence set at 335 feet to left, 360 to center, and 325 to right field, it’s one of the biggest parks in Southern Minnesota.

The hotel was built in 1901 and Mary and John Svendsen took ownership of the best hotel in Southern Minnesota almost two years ago.

if they don’t, it can be ordered. No matter the season, owner John Kubinski has the equipment you need.

What began as a simple bait shop just six years ago has turned in to so much more. Kubinski has begun to dabble with both hunting and archery along with small engine repairs and even selling chain saws and marine batteries. During the winter, Kubinski joked that fishermen will stop in to get their bait at 6 a.m. and drop off their augers to get a tune-up.

“Not too many shops are open at 6 a.m.,” he laughed.

Whether it is an auger that dies on the lake, or a favorite lure that gets caught on the rock bed, Kubinski has what you need to get you back on water—or ice!

There’s plenty to do at Maiden Rock, too, including a brand new disc golf course, Maiden Shade. There’s also a fantastic heated swimming pool with showers, a kids’ playground, volleyball, basketball, and horseshoes, mini-golf, canoeing and fishing, biking and hiking trails that are connected to the Sakata Trail Maiden Rock will work with you whether you want a space for the month, the night, a week, or the whole freakin’ summer. There’s just no better place in SoMinn to enjoy a little time communing with nature.

Best Golf Course Willinger’s Golf Club, Lonsdale If you ask Mike Luckcraft why he thinks Willingers Golf Club is the best golf course around, his answer is quick and to the point.

“The overall quality of the facility is outstanding,” said Luckcraft, the general manager and director of golf at Willingers. “The course is challenging, yet fair and fun and we have a top-notch practice facility.”

Many golfers in the region would agree as Willingers was picked by SCENE magazine readers as the best golf course in Southern Minnesota.

Luckcraft gives high praise for the golf experience, but he is also quick to tell folks about Willingers’ amenities, such as the golf shop, which he says offers an excellent selection of quality golf apparel and accessories.

Then there is the restaurant, which sits high above the course, with great views of the fairways, greens, lakes, wetlands, ponds, trees and nature. Luckcraft said it’s an ideal place for casual dining or a special banquet event.

Last, but not least, he praises the staff at Willingers.

“We have a knowledgeable staff that prides itself on being courteous and helpful,” he said. “It makes a difference.”

Willinger’s Golf Club is located at 6900 Canby Trail in Lonsdale -- Jerry Smith

Best Bike Trail Sakata Trail, Mankato It might be tough to ever unseat this winning entry for “Best Bike Trail.” When it comes to Southern Minnesota biking - and the word comes quickly to mind when a trail calls - Sakata is the gold standard. The 38-mile Sakata Singing Hills Trail starts in Mankato and gently climbs out of the Minnesota River Valley.

And it’s not just for bikers. A quiet, sunny stroll down the Sakatah might take you past an elderly couple sitting on one of the benches which line the trail, or a skateboarder being tugged along by his dog. There’s plenty of picnic stops along the way and ample parking just off Hwy. 22 on Mankato’s east edge for bikers who want to jump on and off for a quick ride and get back on the road.

Eats along the way are always nice diversions, as well, with Southern Minn writers’ favorites the Trailblazer Bar & Grill in Madison Lake, Tucker’s Tavern in Elysian and the Dairy Queen on Faribault’s western edge --Dana Melius

Best Campground - Camp Maiden Rock West, Morristown Camp Maiden Rock West is a 40 acre summertime paradise; Shangri-La in Morristown.

Set right along the Cannon River, Maiden Rock West can feel like it’s a thousand miles from anywhere, instead of just off of Highway 60 in Morristown.

The beautiful, heavy tree lines provide for naturally secluded campsites and recreation areas. Those campsites, by the way, 38 w w w. s o u t h e r N m i nn SCENE. c o m u N O V EM B ER 2 0 1 4

While some Minnesotans (me for example) will spend the first day of winter hiding under the covers, others celebrate it like a holiday. For you it is THE day; that day you wake to see nothing but a white blanket of soft, cold powder as far as the horizon, stretching out almost as big as your smile.

Some of us use that morning to ask why we live in this state. You, on the other hand, seize the day with both hands, bundle up, grab the kids and make a beeline for St. Olaf College. It’s time to go sledding behind Old Main.

The hill is at least 75 yards from top to bottom, and then there’s another 100 yards of free and clear space at the bottom. As soon as the snow hits the ground there are almost instantaneous paths worn on either side of the hill as exultant sliders make their way from the bottom to the top. Every now and then you’ll see someone flip their bright orange molded plastic toboggan upside down and pull a spray can of PAM out of their pocket, because this is not a place for anything remotely resembling friction.

God bless you guys. Your uninhibited glee is infectious enough to make even the grumpiest winter Grinch want to take a run or two.

It’s the hill behind Old Main. If you can find St. Olaf College in Northfield, then you can find the hill.

Best Race/Run Jesse James Days 5k and 15k, Northfield The Defeat of Jesse James Days 15k and 5k has gained such popularity through its mission, ease of participation, and the overall great time the runners—and walkers—have during the race. If you are a serious runner looking for a challenge, register for the 15k. You will find yourself running through Northfield farm country and trudging up some pretty difficult hills all while enjoying some beautiful scenery. If you are a less serious runner simply looking for a good old-fashioned race through the streets of Northfield, consider the 5k. Both runs end at the original First National Bank that the James-Younger Gang attempted to rob in 1876.

The event welcomes all ages and even has a wheelchair division. The event is sponsored

by Northfield Shares as a fundraising activity. Northfield Shares is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to advance philanthropy, inspire volunteerism and promote collaborative leadership. The run sets up well for out-of-towners. Come for a great race and stay the rest of the evening for the Defeat of Jesse James Days celebration!

Best Beach Lake Kohlmier, Owatonna Lake Kohlmier is often criticized for not being a real lake, but without knowing its origins, one would never guess it was once an abandoned gravel quarry. During the summer, the lake and its many features are filled with adults, teens and children.

Kohlmier features an extremely large swimming area so no one feels too close for comfort. The swimming area as well as the beach is extremely spacious, perfect for large families. The beach does not have lifeguards. Kids can have floaties and virtually any other toy they want to bring in the water which is great for parents to sit and relax while their kids splash and play. There are grills and a playground that sit on top of a hill behind the beach area, as well as roomy restrooms.

A sand volleyball court is off to the side, so no one has to worry about being bombed with a ball. And if none of that is your thing, there are several great fishing spots around the lake.

Best Community Theater - Paradise Center for the Arts, Faribault The Paradise Community Theater and The Merlin Players provide 47 years combined of exceptional, entertaining and diverse theatrical events. What many people may not know is, while the gorgeous marquee brings a nostalgic theater feeling to Faribault, it also houses many other cultural opportunities such as visual arts, education programs, special performances and theater. An exciting series, which will continue to be offered in 2015, is the Crossroads Family Series. This series offers many family friendly opportunities from jugglers to magicians.

The Paradise Community Theater is excited to offer the production of “Rocky Horror Show,” which is directed by Palmer Huff. It is based on the original stage version written by Richard O’Brien. You are welcome to get your tickets at the box office to a fun, edgy, and well directed creation of a cult classic. The show opens October 4 and runs through November 1, 2014.

Kathy Rush is the current chair for the Paradise Theater Committee and has spent endless hours supporting the theater in various ways. “We like to include everyone and get new people involved in the theater. We are a regional theater and look forward to some new directors next year.”

Greatness is built on many foundations. The foundation that makes the Paradise Community Theater great are “the many amazing volunteers that help run it. They really deserve this award,” says Ryan Heinritz. Come by and put a bit of yourself in that foundation.

The Paradise Center for the Arts is located at 321 Central Ave N in Faribault --Julee Daniels

Best Theater Production - The Merlin Players’ “Steel Magnolias” Most of us have heard of or seen “Steel Magnolias” either on the big screen or on the stage. Lucky for those of us who made it out to The Merlin Players’ production of this outstanding play because not only did it have a cast that performed so well together but it had running water! When Julianna Skluzacek set out to direct this play all she wanted was to have running water. Once that goal was achieved it was time to get the cast and set together.

Julianna wanted to direct this show because it had great parts for older women and it’s a story about real women who are “strong, living their lives not realizing they are liberated.” There was one particular rehearsal where Dallas broke down over the death of her daughter. “It was intense. Actress Dallas Musselman really took a lot of risk to go to that place where she had to feel,” recalled Julianna.

“Steel Magnolias” brought together a group of dedicated women who not only brought you to a place where you could laugh and cry, but left you wanting more of that strength and lively spirit.

--Julee Daniels

Dallas Musselman Best Actress for “Steel Magnolias” There are some people that make you feel more positive and energized just being in the same room with them. That’s the way it is whenever I’m around Dallas Musselman. She brings that same positive energy to the stage and it absolutely showed when she performed in “Steel Magnolias” as the character M’Lynn.

Dallas has been involved in theater since childhood and as the “stars lined up” she was able to audition and accept the role.

Playing a straight part is out of the usual roles that Dallas generally auditions for, but director Julianna Skluzacek felt this was the perfect part for Dallas to take on. Dallas auditioned for this play because it is so extraordinary but Dallas’ favorite part of being in “Steel Magnolias” was being able to work with her daughter, Abigail.

When not performing in a play, musical or with Jivin’ Ivan and the Kings of Swing, Dallas is deeply involved in plays and musicals at Shattuck Saint Mary’s, working on sets, costumes and bringing to life stories on a stage.

Best Director Julianna Skluzacek

ally with the Gustavus Choir. Parrish serves as Director of Music at First Lutheran Church in Worthington and has been the conductor for the Worthington Chamber Singers since 2008.

Transforming a combination of 89 plays and musicals into a performance that captures an audience is not an easy task. However, when you love an art so deeply, it’s no wonder that Julianna Skluzacek has made the journey. She’s hoping to hit 100 shows before hitting the nursing home.

Her journey started out as an actor and she began directing at the age of 32 with “Blithe Spirit” being the first of many love affairs. Having caught the “directing bug,” she headed back to school where she earned her directing degree. “Filling the holes” is important to her as a director and it shows in the many outstanding productions she has directed.

Julianna is the Merlin Players artistic director and considers herself an actor’s director. “I love to help people do something they never thought they could do.” Currently Julianna is directing “Always, Patsy Cline” and will be directing “The Santa Diaries” opening December, 5 2014. Looking to the future she’s excited about “Love, Loss and What I Wore” for an opening in April 2015. All of these are The Merlin Players’ productions. Break a leg Julianna!

Best Actor Eric Parrish, Worthington This guy is talented, as an actor and director, vocalist and music director. And his appeal stretches from Faribault and Owatonna through the Greater Mankato area to Worthington in southwestern Minnesota.

Eric Parrish is currently the instructor of music and theater at Minnesota West Community and Technical College in Worthington where he has staged such musicals as “The Fantasticks,” “SNOOPY!!! the Musical,” “Damn Yankees,” and “Little Shop of Horrors.”

Parrish also serves on the artistic staff of The Merlin Players where he has directed “Footloose, the Musical” and the Steven Dietz play, “Ten November,” the story of the Edmund Fitzgerald. He will stage the musical NINE for TMP in the summer of 2015.

Selected directing credits include The Music Man (Memorial Auditorium, Worthington); Gypsy (Little Theater of Owatonna); South Pacific (Paradise Center for the Arts); Camelot (Faribault Area Community Theater) and his original musical Threads of a Community which was performed in 2003.

Favorite performance credits: Les Miserables (Javert); Disney’s Beauty and the Beast (Beast), Jesus Christ Superstar (Caiaphas), A Year with Frog and Toad (Toad), I Do! I Do!

(J.C.) and the Frank Sinatra tribute musical My Way. Parrish holds a Masters of Music Degree from the University of Northern Colorado and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Music from Gustavus Adolphus College where he toured annu-

For twenty years The Merlin Players have been entertaining audiences all over Southern Minnesota. The first production, “Of Mice and Men”, played out at Shattuck St. Mary’s and from there the troupe moved around to many different play houses. It wasn’t uncommon for a production to open in one town and close in another. This explained why most of the productions were kept small. No more small, transient productions for this troupe! The Merlin Players call the Paradise Theater in Faribault, Minnesota home. And what a home they have made!

The Merlin Players have many dedicated people involved and are always looking for new actors to join the family. The troupe has also been nurtured by many. One of the founders that had a good and keen artistic eye was Lois Vranesh. Her passion for Community Theater was a driving force in keeping the troupe together and moving forward. No matter how many people were in the theater she would say “they deserve the best regardless of how many were in the seats”. That philosophy holds true to this day.

This year is an exciting year for this troupe. Come by and take a seat. See where the magic of The Merlin Players will take you.

Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some!)

November 14-December 21 Commonweal Theatre, Lanesboro

Forgive our friends over at the Commonweal Theatre Company if they want to get a little goofy around the holidays; it’s been a heavy year for them. From the season opener, Brand (Ibsen’s epic meditation on the human relationship with God) to the current intense Stoppard piece, Arcadia, they’ve had a lot to think about this year.

So, if they want to do the goofiest holiday show in the history of Christmas, I say God bless ‘em. Everyone!

Near as I can tell, this is a farce that combines Dickens, Rankin & Bass, Frank Capra and Charles Schultz (talk about a dream team) into what would have to be a pretty fast paced 90 minute extravaganza probably celebrating the spirit of the season and mocking pop culture all at the same time (if I’m wrong, I expect someone at Commonweal will let us know).

Here’s what I can tell you for sure about this show. There is no more respected theatre company in Southern Minnesota than Commonweal, and the standards they hold themselves to would prevent them from presenting anything less than brilliant in their cozy little space. I can also tell you unequivocally that their home of Lanesboro is a sight to behold when dressed up for the holidays and blanketed with a layer of new fallen snow. Are you looking to get your Christmas Cheer fix as soon as possible?

From 41

A Prairie Home Companion 4:45 p.m., November 15

Mayo Civic Center, Rochester True story: back in my days of working in the Minnesota Twins ticket office, I used to supervise a satellite ticket booth outside of the Metrodome, where we would offer Will Call pickup for tickets purchased over the phone or online. One lovely summer evening, during a season when the Twins were winning quite a bit (remember those days?), I looked over to the massive will call line, easily stretching 40 people deep, and noticed a familiar figure standing in the middle of the line. Dressed in a tweed sport coat and a bow tie, holding a book under his arm, looking extremely professorial, there was Garrison Keillor.

Keep in mind that he probably could have come to the game as a guest of the Twins by having someone make one or two phone calls, and they would have set him up with a luxury box and the whole thing. But no, Mr. Keillor had called the twins ticket line and placed his order like any other citizen of Lake Wobegon would have done.

In an effort to expedite the process (and to move the line just a little bit quicker), I found his tickets in the system and printed them out so they would be ready when he got to the front of the line. To me, the best part of the whole situation came when it was his turn; he was ready with his photo ID. This was the most unassuming celebrity I had ever come across, and that also made him the coolest.

Here at the plush and secret headquarters of SouthernMinn Scene, we are huge fans of Keillor and A Prairie Home Companion. The combination of wholesome charm, unapologetic kitsch and you-really-only-get-thisif-you-live-in-Minnesota humor makes it irresistible to us. Those lazy Saturday afternoon drives when the Twins game or the Gopher game is over are perfect settings to tune into APHC. Or you could go watch a broadcast yourself, at the Mayo Civic Center in Rochester on November 15. Who knows, you might bump into him in the Will Call line. www.mayociviccenter.com – – Rich Larson, editor@southernminnscene.com

Mean It with Whitney Cummings, Chelsea Lately, and MTV2’s Guy Code.. http://www. mysticlake.com/JulianMcCullough14. (952) 445-9000 Michael Sailstorfer: 18-Oct, All Day, Rochester Art Center, 40 Civic Center Dr. SE, Rochester, $3-$5. Michael Sailstorfer sees himself as a sculptor and approaches the possibilities of sculpture in an experimental fashion. In his artistic practice, elements and objects from everyday life serve as the starting point for idiosyncratic experiments.

With the targeted use of smell, sound, movement, and time, his works often surpass our traditional understanding of sculpture: a popcorn machine that spills out popcorn nonstop, a bus stop on a rural road outfitted with a kitchen and a bed that invites the passerby to stay a while. Forests, landscapes, and trees are certainly part of his vocabulary, as are mechanical systems and machines that enter into, at times, contradictory relationships with each other through Sailstorfer’s enigmatically humorous interventions.. http://www.rochesterartcenter.org/exhibition/ michael-sailstorfer/. 507-282-8629 South Central Minnesota Studio ArTour: 18-Oct, All Day, Northfield, Minnesota and surrounding area, Numerous studios, Northfield, Free.

Kenny Rogers

8 p.m., November 8

Mystic Lake Casino and Hotel, Prior Lake Attention Millenials: Kenny Rogers is much more than that guy singing the song and playing poker in the insurance commercial. There was a time when Kenny Rogers was cool as hell. Back in 1979, the only guys cooler to a 10 year old kid from the suburbs were Bo & Luke Duke. The Gambler was an amazing song full of dark mystery and mysticism as well as sage poker advice. The Coward of the County let us all know that everybody has a little badass in them. He even very nearly made NASCAR look cool by starring as a race car driver in a movie that played incessantly on HBO in 1983.

He’s had psychedelic rock hits with his band The First Edition, pure country hits like Ruby, Don’t Take Your Love to Town and massive pop hits like Coward and The Gambler. He played rockabilly in the 50’s and was in the New Christie Minstrels in the 60’s. He sang on We Are the World in 1985. In 1986, when USA Today ran a poll asking who was the most beloved singer ever, Kenny Rogers won. This was back when USA Today was incredibly popular, and was read by millions and millions of people.

Rogers beat out people like Frank Sinatra, Aretha Franklin and Billie Holiday. In his prime, Kenny Rogers was the man.

It’s been a few years now, and his prime has faded. There have been many commercially ignored albums, a couple divorces and one ill-advised facelift. But he still has that voice, and that emotive style. He still knows his way around a melody, and this man can still make your mom and grandma swoon. So, when one of them asks you to go see Kenny Rogers with them, don’t snivel and don’t sneer. Keep an open mind. You’ll enjoy yourself. www.mysticlake.com – – Rich Larson, editor@southernminnscene.com

Michael Sailstorfer sees himself as a sculptor and approaches the possibilities of sculpture in an experimental fashion.

Forests, landscapes, and trees are certainly part of his vocabulary, as are mechanical systems and machines that enter into, at times, contradic-

tory relationships with each other through Sailstorfer’s enigmatically humorous interventions.. http://www.rochesterartcenter.org/exhibition/michael-sailstorfer/.

Chastity Brown

8 p.m., November 15

Oak Center General Store, Oak Center If you haven’t had a chance to catch Chastity Brown play either in the Cities or in Winona, or Faribault or any of her many SoMinn haunts, your time may be running short. She has a new album coming out next spring, and she is poised to make a gigantic leap from local hero songstress to Next Big Thing.

Chasity is the whole package – smart, uber talented, gorgeous – but not a “classic beauty,” and ambitious. She knows how good her music is, and she’s taking the necessary steps to ensure her music is being heard.

Currently on tour in Europe, she was tapped by UK tastemaker Jools Holland to play a couple songs on his show Later with Jools Holland (which airs stateside on the Paladia network), and that’s a little bit like playing on Conan O’Brien or even Saturday Night Live over here. As they used to say in Hollywood, Chastity is “going places.”

But before she becomes an international superstar, you have a chance to see her at one of our favorite SoMinn music venues, The Oak Center General Store. Located about 5 mils west of Lake City, the Oak Center general store has the feel of a combination town hall/hippy commune. The room is comfortable and inviting, and there’s always a sweet little homestyle buffet set up before the show. If you haven’t had the opportunity to see some music there, this would be a golden opportunity.

It’s probably the last time you’ll be able to hear Chastity play in a room with less than 2000 people. www.oakcentergeneralstore.com – – Rich Larson, editor@southernminnscene.com

Michael Sailstorfer: 21-Nov, All Day, Rochester Art Center, 40 Civic Center Dr. SE, Rochester, $3-$5. Michael Sailstorfer sees himself as a sculptor and approaches the possibilities of sculpture in an experimental fashion. In his artistic practice, elements and objects from everyday life serve as the starting point for idiosyncratic experiments.

With the targeted use of smell, sound, movement, and time, his works often surpass our traditional understanding of sculpture: a popcorn machine that spills out popcorn nonstop, a bus stop on a rural road outfitted with a kitchen and a bed that invites the passerby to stay a while. Forests, landscapes, and trees are certainly part of his vocabulary, as are mechanical systems and machines that enter into, at times, contradictory relationships with each other through Sailstorfer’s enigmatically humorous interventions.. http://www.rochesterartcenter.org/exhibition/ michael-sailstorfer/. 507-282-8629 David Andree: 21-Nov, All Day, Rochester Art Center, 40 Civic Center Dr. SE, Rochester, $3-$5.

The Jenny McCarthy Dirty, Sexy, Funny Tour 9 p.m., November 22

Treasure Island Resort and Casino, Red Wing I did a little bit of a double take when I saw this listing.

Jenny McCarthy’s on tour? For what? This woman is famous for two things – winning the title of Playmate of the Year in 1994 and holding anti-vaccine opinions. Yes, she has a bawdy personality and some decent comedic timing, but what the hell is she doing playing Treasure Island?

Well, it turns out, there is such a thing as being a celebrity emcee. She’s bringing the Jenny McCarthy Dirty, Sexy, Funny Tour to SoMinn.

What is the Dirty, Sexy, Funny Tour? It’s a package tour of female standup comics, featuring Tammy Pescatelli, Lynne Koplitz, April Macie and Paula Bel, interspersed with a “series of sketch (sketchy?) vignettes from Jenny McCarthy herself.” While we are not sure exactly how McCarthy’s sketch comedy skills are (they’re probably pretty good), we do know that those are four very funny comics, particularly Macie.

So, it’ll be a funny night with some really naughty ladies making you laugh really hard. Ok, this actually sounds fun now. We should go. www.ticasino.com – – Rich Larson, editor@southernminnscene.com

band has worked tirelessly to produce. They trekked to Nashville in 2012 to record their self-titled debut release which spawned their hit single Whoop It Up. The song has since become an anthem that proves relevant to not just the summer months, as it garnered radio support year round, everywhere from Minnesota to Florida, and Texas to Nashville.

In their short time together, Hitchville has graced the main stages of some of the regions largest festivals, including Moondance Jammin Country, Country Fest, Country Jam, Ramble Jam, and the biggest country music and camping festival in the nation, WE Fest.

They have been blessed to open those stages for some of the biggest superstars in countryfrom Carrie Underwood and Rascal Flatts, to Kenny Chesney and Toby Keith, to Big & Rich and Sugarland.. http://www.theclubfbo.com/ event-calendar/.

NEW MENU IS HERE!

Website. 2014 finds Concentual celebrating over a decade of rocking tens of thousands of people across the Midwest! Their gimmick-free, sweaty rock show is not a concert it’s an event, filled with the best rock and roll classics, hot current hits, and a stage show you won’t soon forget. Dying to hear the best tunes, from Elvis to AC/DC? Then check out their calendar and figure out the best time and place to catch one of their shows! WHAT’S IN A NAME? The names Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones were already taken, so they ‘ had to go back to the drawing board’. Concentual means ‘to possess harmony’ and that, they do. Soaring vocals and background vocals, interwoven guitars and a seamless rhythm section make Concentual one of Minnesota’s PREMIER rock bands. What sets them apart from many of their contemporary tribute/cover bands, is their ‘no-nonsense’ approach to rock and roll. ‘Let the other bands play pop, hip hop and disco we’ll take care of the rest.’ Loud, sweaty rock and roll. Plain and simple.

ORIGINAL MUSIC? You bet! And might we add, they’re bloody fantastic. But if you want the chance to catch us playing one of our own deliciously crafted tunes, you’ll need to get on our mailing list and let us KNOW that you want to hear them! We want you to dance and rock out at our shows not wait until you’ve found a song you’re not familiar with to hit the can. After all, you rent beer you don’t buy it. Request a tune in advance, and we’ll fit it into the set list of the show you’re attending. And bring a BUNCH of friends to applaud once your request has been played.

If you don’t show up, well just don’t, EVER. Smiley face.. http://arizonasbarandgrill.com/ event/concentual/.

Existing comfortably in the tension between tradition and the musical frontier, Run Boy Runs all-acoustic format blends bluegrass, folk and the old timey American vernacular with touches of classical and jazz. Their music is rooted in the traditional music of the Appalachian South, but is also definitively present in the 21st century.

From winning the band contest at Pickin In The Pines (mere weeks after forming in 2009) and a special appearance at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in 2012, to two appearances on National Public Radios A Prairie Home Companion, Run Boy Run have been making friends and fans alike with their open-ended musical approach and wonderful stage presence. A Prairie Home Companion host Garrison Keillor was impressed enough that he penned the liner notes to the bands debut CD. Run Boy Run come from Tucson, Arizona, and were tagged by Paste magazine as One of the top 10 Arizona bands to hear now. The band is brother and sister Matt Rolland (fiddle, guitar) and Grace Rolland (cello, vocals), sisters Bekah Sandoval Rolland (fiddle, vocals) and Jen Sandoval

(mandolin, vocals) and bass player Jesse Allen. With three strong female voices, singing separately or in harmony, and deeply rooted familial connection to traditional American music, Run Boy Run didnt come lately to their sound; its in their collective blood.

Their debut CD, So Sang the Whippoorwill, was released in March 2013 to regional and national critical acclaim. What People Are Saying About Run Boy Run When I hear Run Boy Run, it all comes back to me, why I started doing that show back then. I hope they go on forever.

flamenco guitar in Spain, leaving Webb to promote the record on his own. Webb turned to a rock guitarist named Greg Carmichael, whose background complemented his own Webb had studied jazz at Leeds College of Music, while Carmichael had studied classical at London College of Music and the two assumed the name of Acoustic Alchemy.

The duo initially worked for Virgin Airlines, recording in-flight music for trans-Atlantic flights, then signed to MCA, where they released their 1987 debut album, Red Dust & Spanish Lace. The album included assistance from percussionist Mario Aragando a and drummer Bart Smaak, and was the first of many to be produced by German sound engineer Klaus Genuit at Hansa Haus Studios in Bonn. After two more records on MCA (Natural Elements in 1988 and Blue Chip in 1989), Acoustic Alchemy moved to GRP, which would be their home for the better part of the 1990s. Reference Point, released in 1990, was nominated for a Grammy Award, and marked the beginning of a successful run on GRP that included Back on the Case (1991), The New Edge (1993), Against The Grain (1994) and Arcanum (1996).

Positive Thinking (1998) was to be Acoustic Alchemy’s last recording with Webb, who had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at the outset of the project. His condition worsened to the point where he was unable to put in the studio time and appear on any of the tracks.

He died in February 1998, and the album was released later that year. Webb’s death left the future of the band in question. At the time, the group consisted of the two acoustic guitarists backed by electric guitar, bass and drums. Gilderdale, who was playing in the electric guitar slot at the time, expanded his technical skills and repertoire on acoustic guitar and stepped forward to take Webb’s place alongside Carmichael at the front of the band. The band moved to EMI’s Higher Octave label, where they released a short string of successful albums, beginning with The Beautiful Game (2000), an album that didn’t shy away from experimenting with new genres. The Beautiful Game also introduced keyboardist Anthony ‘Fred’ White to the band lineup. The Grammy -nominated Aart (2001) is their biggest selling album to date, and includes assistance by saxophonist Jeff Kashiwa. Radio Contact (2003), the band’s final release on Higher Octave, is the first in their discography to include a vocal track ‘Little Laughter,’ performed by Joe Harrop.

This Way, released on Narada Jazz in 2007, includes collaborations with jazz/funk/ soul band Down to the Bone and a guest appearance by trumpeter Rick Braun. Four years in the making, Roseland is Acoustic Alchemy’s newest recording. The album was self-produced in Gilderdale’s home studio in York, England (with some post-production in London and Germany), and released on the band’s newly formed label, Onside Records.

For nearly 25 years, Acoustic Alchemy has pushed the limits of the acoustic guitar’s potential by embracing a spectrum of musical styles ranging from straightahead jazz to folk to rock to world music and beyond. In the two and a half decades since their earliest recordings despite a tragic setback in the late 1990s and the inherent challenges of the 21st century music industry the group has assembled and sustained a vast and loyal following that stretches well beyond their U.K. origins. The band’s story begins with two guitarists, Nick Webb and Simon James, who recorded a self-financed, self-produced album in the mid 1980s entitled Acoustic Alchemy. Shortly after the release, James left the partnership to study

Acoustic Alchemy has been to reach the broadest possible audience by pushing the potential of instrumental music to embrace a broad spectrum of styles without being limited to any specific genre. ‘For a lot of people, instrumental music is just a sound that plays in the background,’ says Carmichael. ‘But we put a lot into it not just with this record but with every record we’ve ever made. I’d like to think that after all these years, we’ve learned how to take people on a journey. A lot of our fans have said that we do that for them.

507-238-4900 Kenny Rogers: 8-Nov, 8:00 PM, Mystic Lake Casino Hotel, 2400 Mystic Lake Blvd, Prior Lake, $44-$55. It took several tries before Kenny Rogers became a star. As a member of the First Edition (and the New Christy Minstrels before that), he shared in some million-sellers, among them ‘Reuben James’ and ‘Ruby, Don’t Take Your Love to Town,’ an excellent Mel Tillis song about a disabled veteran. But superstardom lay ahead for this Texan, and it arrived in the late ‘70s.

His experience with the two previous pop groups had prepared him well: he knew the easy listening audience was out there, and he supplied them with well done middle-of-theroad songs with a country flavor. Having gone solo, in 1976 Rogers charted with ‘Love Lifted Me.’ But it was with an outstanding song by writers Roger Bowling and Hal Bynum, ‘Lucille,’ that his star shot upward. The rest (as they say) is history: award-winning duets with Dottie West and Dolly Parton, 12 TV specials, another song of the year with ‘The Gambler,’ ‘Daytime Friends,’ ‘Coward of the County,’ ‘We’ve Got Tonight,’ ‘Crazy,’ ‘Lady’ (his first pop number one), etc., etc., etc.

And that’s just the musical side of Rogers. In 1980, the made-for-TV movie The Gambler blasted the competition, followed quickly by Coward of the County, then enough sequels to The Gambler to get him to Roman numeral IV. Throughout the ‘80s, Rogers remained a

celebrity, even when his sales were declining.

Even during the ‘90s, when he rarely charted, his name, face, and music were recognizable in a series of concerts, television specials, films, and even fast-food restaurants. Like many country superstars, Rogers came from humble roots. Born in Houston, Texas, Rogers and his seven siblings were raised in one of the poorest sections of town. Nevertheless, he progressed through high school, all the while learning how to play guitar and fiddle.

When he was a senior, he played in a rockabilly band called the Scholars, who released three singles, including ‘Kangewah,’ which was written by Louella Parsons. Following his graduation, he released two singles, ‘We’ll Always Fall in Love Again’ and ‘For You Alone,’ on the local independent label Carlton. The B-side of the first single, ‘That Crazy Feeling,’ was popular enough to earn him a slot on American Bandstand. In 1959, he briefly attended the University of Texas, but he soon dropped out to play bass in the jazz combo The Bobby Doyle Three. While he was with the group, Rogers continued to explore other musical venues and played bass on Mickey Gilley’s 1960 single ‘Is It Wrong.’ The Bobby Doyle Three released one album, In a Most Unusual Way, before Rogers left the group to play with the Kirby Stone Four. He didn’t stay long with Stone and soon landed a solo record contract with Mercury.. http://kennyrogers.com/index.htm?id=15753.

Kevin Bowe and the Okemah Prophets,: 8-Nov, 8:00 PM, Ed’s No-Name Bar, 252 East Third Street, Winona, Free.

This is all fine and good but it also kept him too busy to put together an album of his own songs for over 10 years! But the wait is over and the new album ‘Natchez Trace’ is worth it, with contributions from Paul Westerberg, Freedy Johnston, Chuck Prophet, Tim O’Regan (Jayhawks), Nels Cline (Wilco) and Scarlet Rivera (Dylan/Desire) this album rocks harder than Americana, goes deeper than singer/ songwriter, and always retains its uniquely Minneapolis roots. Peter Anderson (Polara/ Honeydogs) on drums and Steve Price (Suburbs/Rex Daisy) on bass make for a live

trio that fires on all cylinders... this same core has also backed up The Replacements (Songs for Slim EP), Gary Louris (Jayhawks), Alison Scott and Freedy Johnston. http:// edsnonamebar.com/event/.

Truck stop diners, grueling schedules and sneaking into campground showers were not on Devons radar when she started her career,’ explains the band’s agent Greg Absey. Her hard work is paying off.

Natural talent combined with work ethic and a hard-driving attitude has been a recipe for success for Devon, continues Absey. In my thirty years in the business, I have never seen an artist grow so quickly. She wants this, and she will succeed. http://www.bustersbar.com/ blog/event-calendar.

Wine, Women and Comedy 7 p.m., November 8

Paradise Center for the Arts, Faribault First of all, let’s acknowledge that deer-hunting opener isn’t the same as it used to be. No longer do all the guys pack their camo and .30-.30’s into a pickup and head off for the woods, leaving the little woman behind in her dress and apron, barefoot, pregnant and chained to the stove. In the 21st century, plenty of women are out chasing the mighty White Tail themselves, and I’m going to guess that some of them leave their little man at home, possibly wearing a dress and apron, barefoot, chained to the stove, but probably not pregnant.

With that said, there are still plenty of Deer Camp Widows around Southern Minnesota, and providing some entertainment for them has become a deer season tradition of its own. The Paradise Center for the Arts has been doing this for years now.

Wine, Women and Comedy is their annual celebration of the mother of all girls’ nights out. This year, they’re brining in Songblast, a dueling guitars (one electric, one acoustic) comedy/variety act. These guys aren’t your classic dueling banjoes act. There are costumes, effects, jokes and true musicianship. They bill themselves as the comedic battle between acoustic and electric guitars. They’re probably even better than that.

There’s also a wine tasting prior to the event. So you got your comedy, you got your hot guys playing guitar, you got your wine. Sounds like girls’ night out, for sure.

But, just so we’re clear, guys are invited and able to come. Please leave all camo and rifles in your truck (both men and women). www.paradisecenterforthearts.org – – Rich Larson, editor@southernminnscene.com

2014 IRIS Turkey Trot

7:50 a.m., November 27 (Thanksgiving Day) Faribault Middle School

A lot of people have never heard of the wonderful non-profit organization known as IRIS, and to be very honest, it’s a safe assumption that none of us would ever want help from IRIS. You see, IRIS stands for Infants Remembered In Silence. They provide help and support to parents, families and friends who have lost children in early pregnancy, at birth or in infancy. Now, this might seem like a very specific group of people dealing with what should be a rare tragedy, but the fact of the matter is, statistically, 4-5 of every 1000 babies born in Minnesota do not live to see their first birthdays. At that point, an organization like IRIS is an invaluable resource.

The Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot is one of their major fundraising events of the year, and SouthernMinn Scene is proud to be a sponsor of the event.

The series of events (10K, 5K, kids races) begins at 7:50 a.m. on Thanksgiving (which this year is November 27) at the Faribault Middle School. There are a lot of “Turkey Trots” on Thanksgiving morning, but on a day we set aside to remember how fortunate we are in life and the importance of family, it seems to us that this is the best way to spend that morning. We hope you’ll join us.

For more information on IRIS, to register for the Turkey Trot, or to donate, please visit www.irisremembers.com – – Rich Larson, editor@southernminnscene.com

Kenny Salwey is the last of a breed of men whose lifestyle has all but disappeared in this fast-paced, high-tech digital world. He earned a tough living with the land, close to Nature and the Mississippi River. For 30 years, this weathered Wisconsin woodsman eked out a living running a trapline, hiring out as a river guide, digging and selling roots and herbs, and eating the food he hunted and fished. Today, Salwey is a master storyteller, environmental educator, keynote speaker, nature writer, and advocate

for the Upper Mississippi River. He has presented his true-life adventures and words of natural world wisdom to adult and young adult audiences across the upper Midwest.

By sharing his hard-learned experiences, his respect for the Mississippi River, and his love of the natural world, Salwey hopes to inspire his audiences to protect this precious and fragile ecosystem.
