We’re kicking off a brand new segment called Hidden Gems — your chance to spotlight those under-the-radar treasures that make the Coulee Region so special. Each week, we’ll feature a new theme, and we’ll be looking to you, our community, to help us uncover the best of the best.
This week’s gem hunt: Best Places to Have a Picnic
Do you know a quiet riverbank, a sunny hilltop, or a shaded park that’s perfect for a laid-back lunch outdoors? Whether it’s a secret spot you stumbled on during a hike or a family favorite with just the right view, we want to hear about it!
Tell us your favorite picnic spot in the Coulee Region — and what makes it great. We’ll feature a selection of responses in next week’s newsletter. You might just inspire someone’s next perfect afternoon!


Want to get involved in our segments? Here are some handy-dandy links.

That’s it for today—come and see us tomorrow for local real estate, featured pic, and more Coulee Goodness.
See you in the morning! ☀️
