This week we chatted with Heidi from the Minnesota Paranormal Research Society about a recent investigation in my hometown of Long Prairie. The investigation took place at the historic Christie Home and what they found will surely make your spine shiver. We also chatted about the group, her business, and an upcoming fundraising event at the Christie Home.

This week we catch up with a group of people who have taken their passion for mini bikes and turned it into a yearly endurance ride from Pierz, MN to Orr, MN, which is over 190 miles if you take major roads. These guys don't. They are riding back roads and testing the limits of what these bikes are capable of, all while making memories that will last a lifetime.
