Here's a great Gift Idea! 

Only in Minnesota

by Roxanne Kjarum (photography) and Berit Thorkelson (text)

 
 

From the Publisher:
It's not just the Mall of America that brings millions of visitors to Minnesota each year and instills pride in its residents; it's the lakes, rivers, state parks, the consistently high quality of life, the colorful and dramatic four seasons, a renowned arts and theater community, and, of course, the people.

  In Minnesota, the vast offerings of active opportunities are bound only by your imagination. You can snow-shoe or ice fish on a crisp winter day. You can catch a trout in a clear stream or spot a bald eagle along the Mississippi River, awash with the blazing reds and oranges of autumn. You can take a drive along the North Shore of the majestic inland sea Lake Superior, or go antiquing in charming Stillwater. You can participate in a spirited game of soccer at the local park, or cheer on the Gophers, Twins, Vikings, Saints, or Wild. You can learn about history by exploring one of the myriad museums, or worship in a grand cathedral or simple country church.

  The diversity of the state is captured in Only in Minnesota, a pictorial tribute to all that makes the Gopher State unique. From the cities of Minneapolis, St. Paul, Duluth, and Rochester to smaller towns and rural regions in between, Only in Minnesota reflects the people, nature, attitude, and spirit of the Land of 10,000 Lakes.
