Our gardens are lush and colorful. Beautiful butterflies are flitting up and down Spring Street. Wonderfully, the giant swallowtails have returned. Lake Pepin is a startling blue. Stockholm is awash in the colors of summer.
Take a ride on the prettiest drive in America, the Great River Road, soak in the scenery, and enjoy the variety in our shops and eateries. Guests from Madison and Milwaukee have been discovering all of this the past weeks. They love the relaxing atmosphere!
Sunday, August 18, at 7:00 p.m. Widespot is presenting Goin’ Coastal: A Radio Variety Show from the Shores of Lake Pepin. This one hour show featuring local talent will have a special interview with Mother Banjo and a performance by her trio. Tickets for adults are $10, and kids 12 and under are $5. Find out more at widespotperformingarts.org.
Soak in the colors of summer in Stockholm during perfect weather this weekend.
We’d love to see you again,

A special invitation for your dog…
You and your family are invited this Saturday to the Dog Days of Stockholm. We hold this event in the park so that you have lots of trees and grass to sniff. You can also check out other dogs, find new toys at vendor booths, and show off your talents. Your family can win prizes and eat terrific food. You can all have a fun day together!
While you do, you will be helping homeless dogs get adopted into forever homes. In this joyful, relaxed atmosphere that you and your family help create, shelter and foster dogs have fun and are themselves. That gives families interested in adopting a chance to get to know them. You can meet them, too. Last year 53 shelter and foster dogs got forever homes at Dog Days of Stockholm.
Bring your family Saturday between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. to Dog Days of Stockholm You can meet Pat Kessler’s pug Shelby. Shelby is helping Pat of WCCO TV host the event. Tell your family to find out more at dogdaysofstockholm.com or e-mail maryanne@dogdaysofstockholm.com.

A great place to bring your family…
Our path to ownership of TansyHus was not a straight line. In fact, we took a circuitous route halfway across the country to arrive in Stockholm. Our interest in Stockholm began while residing in rural La Crosse when we frequently traveled the Great River Road between La Crosse and the Twin Cities. We loved the Stockholm area so much that we made a pact to someday have a home here.
For decades, our path took us away from Stockholm, eventually leading to Pasadena, California. In the meantime, our daughter Andrea and her husband Stanton Sears purchased a thirty-five acre farmstead five miles north of Stockholm. Today known as Blackcat Farmstead, the property houses a large art studio where public art is conceived and fabricated. The Little House, an 1800s dwelling from the Laura Ingalls farmstead a mile away, was recently moved to the property. Today it is home to a fiber studio.
In 2005, we returned to Stockholm for Thanksgiving to visit Andrea and her family. Our interest in owning a home in Stockholm was immediately rekindled. The next year we bought the John and Hannah Lindgren home at W12066 Second Street. We had to work through decades of neglect to the home, but, by the end of 2006, we had completed our initial rehab and offered the house as a vacation rental. We named it TansyHus.
We find a similarity to our arrival in Stockholm with that of Eric Peterson, Stockholm’s founder. Just like us, Eric passed by the Stockholm area many times and fell in love with it. He traveled on a riverboat; we traveled via the Great River Road. He had a dream of making Stockholm a Swedish settlement and stacked a claim to it. We had a dream of owning a home in Stockholm and now we do. After staking his claim, Eric left for Sweden to bring his family to Stockholm. Our daughter and her family brought us finally to Stockholm, too. We share a connection with Eric of Stockholm being home and family.
We invite you to bring your family to enjoy our TansyHus.
We’d love to see you again,
