Things To Do
Wells Kernel Days
Head over to Half Moon Park just 5 miles from the wedding venue, and enjoy some small town fun and activities by celebrating Wells Kernel Days Aug 10-13.
Myre-Big Island State Park
Located 33 miles from the venue, this park has something for everyone. The trails take visitors around wet lowlands, oak savanna, and grasslands. Albert Lea Lake and park marshes draw hundreds of waterfowl during migration. Oak savanna and prairie landscape, including wetlands, dominate most of the park. One of the more unique aspects of the park is the 116-acre Big Island, covered with maple/basswood forest. Another is the glacial esker located in the northeast section of the park.
Jolly Green Giant sculpture (1978)
Built to help commemorate the “golden spike” marker where the 1978 east and west construction crews of interstate 90 met—this statue has towered over Blue Earth, MN ever since!
