August sometimes feels like the Sunday of the summer season. It’s cruel and unusual punishment to begin our farewell to warm days so soon. Especially when August and September at the lakes bring some of the best events of the year! Gear up for these events in the Brainerd Lakes area with our handy-dandy calendar.
