About The Publisher: Irene Zachman

Hi, I'm Irene Zachman, your go-to source for family-friendly adventures in and around the Woodbury, Oakdale, Cottage Grove, Stillwater and Hastings areas in Minnesota!

I live in Woodbury with my husband and two young children, and we love making the most of everything our community has to offer. Some of our favorite activities include grabbing ice cream at Selma's, exploring neighborhood parks, hitting the slopes at Afton Alps in the winter, and cooling off in local pools and lakes during the summer.

Each week, I’m thrilled to bring you the scoop on family fun! Be sure to subscribe to our weekly newsletter, where I keep the event calendar packed with local happenings and activities to help your family explore and enjoy everything Woodbury, Cottage Grove, Oakdale, Stillwater, and Hastings have to offer.
