Santa Sightings, Bar Bingo, and Holiday Lights Show: Weekend Planner for St. Michael and Albertville

Beat the heaviest snowfall this weekend by attending a daytime event Saturday, or brave the storm at an evening event. Wrestling tournaments are set for tonight and Saturday.

 

Although the weekend brings with it a winter storm watch in the St. Michael-Albertvile area, the heaviest snow is expected Saturday night. Luckilly, most community events this weekend happen during the day Saturday, in time to beat the storm.

Tonight at 7 p.m., cheer on St. Michael-Albertville High School wrestling, both varsity and junior varsity, as they battle Simley at 6 p.m. at St. Michael-Albertville High School.
