ANOKA, Minn. — With kids out of school, parents are looking for different ways to keep them learning and engaged.
ANOKA, Minn. (KMSP) – A quiet walk along the river soon turned into a cacophony of shutter clicks as photographers swarmed a man and his baby in Anoka, Minn. last week. But, the photographers were not the paparazzi. They were young ladies taking a photography class at the Rum River Art Center, a unique non-profit in Anoka.
It’s this really cool thing in my backyard. And thanks to my chubby-cheeked daughter, I got to find out about something cool in Anoka, said Jeremie Mullinix, who was out with his daughter, Willow.
