February is the month of love and one thing I love is old buildings. So does the Preservation Alliance of
Minnesota . Every February they have a series of "Heart Bombing" events throughout Minnesota.

This year, we signed up to host one at the Andrew Volstead House Museum. The Granite Falls Historical
Society will decorate the house and the footbridge with banners and hearts for the month of February.
On February 11, from 4-5 PM, the public is welcome to join us and create a Valentine that can either go
on the Volstead House, footbridge or any other old building of your choice. Enjoy coffee and cookies
and also view the newly restored wood floors in the dining room and kitchen. The historical society also
has a romantic door prize to give away.

A dream of mine is to see the downtown buildings all restored to match the original upper stories much
like this photo taken in the early part of the century. When I think of the charming Minnesota
downtowns like New Ulm, Redwing, and Lanesboro, the old fashioned storefronts are a major part of
their appeal.

As another way to show your love for Granite Falls this month, purchase a Fall in Love with Granite Falls
t-shirt at the chamber office. We now have children's sizes available, they make a great gift. Become a
fan of our community facebook page with the same name-Fall in Love with Granite Falls and our Granite
Falls Area Chamber of Commerce page. These pages are updated daily and are a great place to keep up
with Granite Falls events, retail and restaurant specials and more. Chamber members are encouraged
to share their events for facebook and for the chamber's e-mail updates. Post them on the facebook
pages or e-mail to gfchamber@mvtvwireless.com. If you need help with social media for your business,
I'm available in your business or the chamber office.
Shop local for your Valentine and take them out to dine in Granite Falls. And don't forget to buy your
ticket and attend our annual Midwinter Celebration on January 30 at Bootleggers! A vibrant community
is only as good as the residents make it. Tourism is an added bonus but more important is community
support for our local shops and restaurants.
