We understand that you may wish to have a change of scenery during Minnesota’s stay-at-home period that currently extends from March 27 to April 10. Although there are many strong opinions, please know that we are neither encouraging nor discouraging people to shelter in our communities.

It’s a decision you should make based on your own family’s situation and comfort level. Some supplies may be limited (so plan ahead), but you’ll find that many restaurants and other businesses are still open in some capacity. Visit lakesproud.com for more details.

Since travel isn’t prohibited, we urge you to carefully consider these decisions and abide by all government orders, hygiene and distancing recommendations to ensure the health and safety of everyone.
