 The team behind Almanac on Twin Cities PBS stopped by our Lakeland PBS studio in Bemidji tonight to chat with the people of Greater Minnesota. For more than three decades now, Almanac has been a staple in Minnesota by covering everything from politics to public interest stories. During the evening, the Almanac team heard story ideas from the public and met with our team here at Lakeland PBS. The show recently hired a Greater Minnesota reporter to help cover the area. It's just an opportunity very informal to get to know each other and they get to see us in person. And I always think that the human touch is always, you know, goes so far into strengthening relationships and it's always just good to meet people and just sort of get out of your bubble. The best way to get ideas of stories to cover in Greater Minnesota is to get out into Greater Minnesota. We saw a bunch of things up on the way and I was taking note as a political reporter looking at the signs and saying, what are the signs here and which don't. If you have a story idea for Almanac, you can contact them through the email you see on the screen.
