Admittedly I am usually not a rummage sale type person. I do on occasion look over items for sale on line but I do not attend rummage sales per say. That is unless it is the once a year classic Park Point Rummage Sale. It is amazing to me the amount of stuff you can find, from art work to furniture to clothing to boats! The people watching is awesome and you can get mini-donuts too! Click Here for more information.

The theme for this years marathon is Run Superior and the date is June 16th for the Full and Half Race. But the fun of Grandmas Marathon is all the activities and excitement on top of the race. That weekend is a time to showcase our beautiful city and it's people, so if you don't want to run, why not volunteer, cheer on the runners or just hang out in Canal Park and people watch? I have always said how the city of Duluth comes alive Grandmas Marathon weekend and I embrace the hustle and bustle of a few 30,000 extra people hanging around. Grandmas Marathon Website
