We have some ideas to keep you from going stir crazy!

If you are looking to escape the cold, check out the Mill City Farmers Market. During the winter months, the market is held every other Saturday inside the Mill City Museum. Take a stroll thru the booths and enjoy fresh produce from local growers, events for kids, handcrafted art and household items, live music and Spoonriver Restaurant will be sampling Hot Rum Toddy’s at their booth in the market. Warm up while you sip one of these delicious cocktails made with dark Norseman rum, Ames honey, and spices. Plus, enjoy a complimentary gift for two Rum Toddy drinks at Spoonriver Restaurant!
