At First State Bank and Trust, we take considerable pride in our connection to our communities, and like any great neighbor, we know where the party is. We sponsor activities and events all year round, across the St. Croix Valley, helping tourists, locals, and everyone in between find a good time.
In case your thermometer hasn't tipped you off yet, summer has arrived and it's time to start planning summer vacations, daycations, and family outings! There's loads of family fun to be had in the St. Croix Valley area, but finding the right activities can be a hassle, and that stress can take all the fun out of your time together. That's why we are here to help!
Check out our list of community events highlighted below.
Golf Tournaments
We had a blast at the Hudson Chamber Golf Tournament in June, but there are other upcoming golf tournaments that we are proud to sponsor. The Wild West Golf Open, hosted by the Greater Stillwater Chamber of Commerce at the Oak Glen Golf Course, is a great choice for chamber members, guests, and community members. You can take part in the tournament, compete in fun course contests, enter a raffle with great prizes, or just sit back and enjoy delicious food provided by local businesses!
Cruisin' on the Croix
For vintage enthusiasts, Cruisin' on the Croix is an event you can't miss! On select Wednesdays from June to September, you can come out and see some of the coolest, most well-maintained vintage cars and hot rods in the state. Show up from 3pm - 8pm (entry is free) for music, food, and the chance to see your dream car parked on the beautiful banks of the St. Croix River.
North Hudson Pepper Fest
Got a little Italian in your family? Even if you don't, the North Hudson Pepper Fest is a blast for folks from every background, of all ages. Celebrating the Italian heritage of North Hudson's community, Pepper Fest is packed with incredible food, a beer garden, live music, games, and contests for those who can handle the heat. Small businesses who wish to donate or participate are encouraged to sign up to lend a hand over the long weekend, so be sure to reach out and be a part of one of the most fun, unique events of the year!
Lumberjack Days
Celebrate the long history of logging and lumberjacks in Minnesota by joining us for a full weekend of fun during Stillwater Lumberjack Days. Live music, local delicacies, and wonderful community artisans are on full display, alongside a clutch of fun competitions like a bocce ball tournament and downhill derby. Capped off by a parade through the streets of Stillwater, the Lumberjack Days represent one of the best opportunities of the year to have the whole family gather for nonstop festivities.
