A town abuzz with Norwegian fever 
So the king and queen of Norway were in town, and they needed a place to stay. Apparently, all the local hotel rooms were booked because the Gopher hockey fans were giddy with their weekend win over the Bulldogs, and they didn’t want to go home right away; they decided to stick around ‘til Wednesday to rub our noses in it. That’s fine – we’d have done the same thing – but I do think the hanging of a thousand brooms off the roof of the Radisson was a bit much.

Brian Matuszak: For all the trouble we cause her, Mom deserves three little words
So it’s Mother’s Day Weekend! Time to honor the lady who has to love you, no matter how much you drool and spit up on her (it’s cute when you’re three months old, creepy when you’re 33 years old).

Faith, inspirational journeys at root of musician’s art
Duluth native Danielle Rose had been making music for much of her life when, a few years ago, she faced a choice: Stay with her muse or follow another calling.
She chose, and entered a convent. Doing so meant giving up music.
“I fell in love with a particular convent and knew Jesus was drawing me to enter that one,” she said. She made the choice, she says, “even though I knew it meant I wouldn’t make another CD or perform another concert again, should I be called to profess final vows as a sister there.”

Ole and Lena wed again and again
Change of Pace Productions is bringing back its most popular show, “Ole and Lena’s Wedding,” with an original script written by Jean Sramek and concept and staging by Tim and Peggy White. The first run was in 2003 and the cast — sometimes with new actors — has continued to re-do the show every few years. According to Peggy White, by the end of this six-show run, they will have married off Ole and Lena more than 90 times, mostly in Duluth, but also at other small Midwest towns.
White believes it to be the longest-running show in Duluth.
