This is an issue meant to last; to be picked up year-round; to spark conversations with your neighbors, friends and family around the Valley. Whether it’s left on the kitchen counter or loaned to out-of-town guests who want to bounce around the Valley, it is a lasting issue created to inspire our readers.
Without further ado, congratulations to our finalists and winners! Check out the full list of finalists and winners on page 26. Also in St. Croix Valley Magazine’s special Best of edition, we’re honoring the great sights—and a few personal favorites—around the Valley. From Teddy Bear Park in downtown Stillwater to Coco’s Heart Dog Rescue in Somerset, Wisconsin, there are many special places to visit around town.
