Fair Hills

The MN Master Naturalist convention is partnering with the Detroit Lakes bird festival this year so we all met at the Fair Hills Resort on Pelican Lake which is 6 square miles and up to 55 feet deep. They are just opening up for the season so when I got to my room it was about 90 degrees in there. The electric baseboard heat was going full blast. I opened all the windows but it was still hot. A friend had the same thing happen to her so she explained the knob on the baseboard functions as an on/off switch. This is a beautiful place with tennis courts, pickleball courts, boats and kayaks to borrow, shuffleboard and a small golf course.
Th
After dinner (wild rice hotdish) Al Batt spoke. He was born in southern MN on a dairy farm. He likes to watch birds too. He was so funny everyone in the room was cracking up. This is his 5th time coming to the Detroit Lakes birding festival. I wish I could be so funny.
