Our city really does have it all: beautiful scenery, rich history, wonderful culture, and an incredible food scene. We are pleased to present to you just a few of the things we love the most about our fantastic home. more Our Wonderful Wetlands The Prairie Wetlands Learning Center is an incredible resource to find out more about the rich environmental diversity we enjoy here in Otter Tail County. People of all ages will love learning more about the birds of our native prairie and the unique wildlife of our wetlands. The Center is run by the US Fish & Wildlife Service and they operate walking tours throughout the year. Pretty as a Picture We are lucky to have a bustling visual arts scene here in Fergus Falls. The Lake Region Arts Council has been running since 1977. They promote amazing access to arts opportunities, including two galleries, grant programs, and workshops. The Kaddatz Art Gallery showcases the work of artists from west-central Minnesota. They offer free admission to their main exhibition which rotates every couple of months. The Great Outdoors Pebble Lake is a wonderful local beauty spot. We love to visit the picnic shelter there for a great family day out. There are some really useful facilities, including a kitchen and firepit. There is space to accommodate up to one hundred people so it is a brilliant choice for reunions, birthdays and other celebrations. A sand volleyball court is also available on-site if you want to work up an appetite before your picnic. Grab a Bite To Eat We have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to great places to dine out in Fergus Falls. If you appreciate a great cup of coffee and some home-cooking, head to Cally's Cafe & Coffee on East Lincoln Avenue. Try the Dining Car #423 at the restored Cascade Street Station for delicious American dining in a historic setting. We also adore the seafood at Mabel Murphy's Irish pub on Highway 210 West. Pay a Visit to Phelps Mill The mill is a fantastic part of the agricultural history of the area, and it has been given a new lease of life as a contemporary tourist attraction. You can find out all about the history of the mill and how it operated in its heyday, or come down for the Phelps Mill Festival where there is a huge array of entertainment on-site with food and attractions that will delight the whole family.

The new 2021 Chevy Trailblazer is here, and it's amazing. If you're in the market for a new vehicle, the Chevy Trailblazer might be the perfect fit for you! It lives up to Chevy's reputation for creating high-quality vehicles. The Trailblazer is beautiful, safe, and packed with smart, innovative features. Here are a few of our favorite features of the new Trailblazer. more 1. A Spacious and Flexible Interior With its spacious and flexible interior, you'll be able to fit everything and anyone you need in your Trailblazer. It can seat up to five and has 40/60 split-folding seats in the second row. The second row and the passenger seat can also fold flat when needed. The Chevy Trailblazer has an impressive maximum cargo volume of 54.4 cubic feet and a maximum cargo length of 8.5 feet. Your rear passengers will be comfortable with the best-in-class rear-seat legroom, and you'll also be comfortable with 40.9 inches of front legroom, 40 inches of front headroom, and 55.4 inches of front shoulder room. 2. Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking come standard with the Trailblazer. You'll receive a warning when your Trailblazer detects a potential front-end collision with the vehicle ahead of you, giving you enough time to take corrective action. If you're following the vehicle ahead of you too closely, you'll receive a tailgating alert. The Trailblazer uses camera technology to automatically provide hard emergency braking, and it can even enhance your own hard braking. 3. Three Drive Modes With three available drive modes to choose from, you'll have all the traction you need to get to where you're going. The Trailblazer comes with Normal mode, All-Wheel Drive mode (or Snow mode on FWD), and Sport mode. 4. Teen Driver Technology Chevy knows how important promoting safe driving habits in new drivers is. With this built-in system, you can set speed alerts, limit the volume, and make sure your teen is buckled in. You'll also receive an in-vehicle report that can tell you how far they drove, their maximum speed, how many Overspeed warnings they received, how many forward collision alerts they received, and how many times forward automatic braking was activated. 5. Front Pedestrian Braking This standard Chevy Safety Assist feature will help you avoid or at least reduce the severity of any front-end collisions with pedestrians. Front Pedestrian Braking will give you pedestrian alerts when the system detects someone directly ahead of you. It can even enhance your hard braking or automatically provide hard emergency braking.
