Based on these past couple weeks, I believe it’s safe to say that we all caught a glimpse of what summer in Winona is going to be like!  What better way to enjoy these nice days ahead than by participating in free or low-cost activities right here in town? 

Here are some of the great options Winona offers its residents for some outdoor spring and summer fun:
