A new entertainment venue will open in Minnesota this week, and it features just about every game you could imagine in one venue.

Smash Park is located in Roseville, Minnesota, and the amount of activities at one venue is incredible. The nearly 50,000-square-foot facility features pickleball courts, axe throwing, duckpin bowling, cornhole, darts, and an arcade. They also offer private karaoke rooms so you can sing and dance without strangers judging your singing abilities, these are perfect for a fun squad night out.

Smash Park also offers a full menu and bar with various craft cocktails and drinks, like their trademark "Socialbowls", which they say are " giant, colorful creations that are designed to be enjoyed with friends, making them the ultimate group experience."

Smash Park got its start in West Des Moines, IA in 2018, and has quickly expanded in Iowa, and Minnesota, with new locations planned for Illinois and Colorado. Smash Park is certainly riding the wave of the popularity of Pickleball, it has become "the fastest-growing sport in America, with participation continuing to increase year-over-year. In 2021, pickleball grew by nearly 5 million players in the U.S., according to a 2022 Sports & Fitness Industry Association report."

The 15 Snowiest Winters On Record In Duluth History

Since the National Weather Service began keeping weather records in Duluth in the late 1800s, here are the 15 winters with the highest snowfall totals on historical record.

It is worth noting that the official records from 1941-today have been recorded at the area now known as the Duluth International Airport (away from the lake, on top of the hill). Before then, various locations closer to Lake Superior had been used for official weather recording data. For anyone that knows anything about how Lake Superior and the hill play a role in temperature and snow, you can see how this makes older records inherently different.

While these records note the "snowiest winters", they actually include all seasonal snowfall from July 1 through June 30 of the following year.
