Winnipeg, Manitoba has a new community sauna as of July 2025. Saunic is everything I would hope community sauna could be.

Minneapolis has once again added another artist to its list of residents. Kyle Gray Young most recently moved south from St Cloud and before that was born and raised in the Chicago area, where he got his start as a musician via high school band.

I first encountered Kyle Gray Young at FinnFest. He piqued my interest, as I had not heard of him at the time, and “new” talent to our Finnish-American community is always something to celebrate!
