5 Owatonna Summer Events to Attend
May 16 may not quite count as summer, but when the St. Paul Saints come to Owatonna to play the Aces and Southern Minny All-Stars, it is a "boys of summer" day at Dartts Park.
A few of the many ways to celebrate summer in Owatonna include baseball, BBQ, marching bands, history and the most popular county fair in the state.
Saturday's Saints exhibition game is part of "Be a Tourist in Owatonna Day," sponsored by the Owatonna Chamber of Commerce and Tourism. Tickets are available at the Owatonna Parks and Recreation office. All proceeds will support youth baseball park improvements.
