Roundabout: Out & About

Picture this: it’s a beautiful day in the east metro and you’re looking for a place to eat, so you open Pat Mack’s wonderful guide to the many places you can dine outdoors.
Perhaps you’re in the mood for food but want to get your steps in. There’s a good chance for both at Food Truck Extravaganza in Stillwater (as a self-proclaimed food truck connoisseur, this one is personally on my radar).
After collecting your calories, you’re ready for a show. So you head toward Cottage Grove and catch Open Door Community Theatre’s newest summer program, “Footloose the Musical.”
See? There’s no need for a hero to save you from boredom; you have your weekly Out & About.
