Big things are happening in Rochester, Minnesota in 2024.  In fact, something that I didn't think would be happening for a bit just popped up on Facebook...and I think quite a few of you are going to LOVE this new addition to our town.

Ok, this isn't really a "new" addition but the Med City hasn't been graced with this fan-favorite item in several years.  But it's back, baby! 

If you want to spend some time in an igloo, you'd better get your name in fast.

The Igloos Are Finally Back in Rochester, Minnesota!!!

Before I spill the beans on the place that has an igloo waiting for you to enjoy with friends in Rochester, I wanted to make sure you knew that Southeast Minnesota has a few other igloos that have been ready for you to rent out.  I know that this is news you may have missed, especially if you tend to rely on social media showing you the latest stories.  FYI, it doesn't.  It shows you what it wants to show you so unless you are following the Y-105FM Facebook page, downloading the app, or signed up for the newsletter, you are probably missing out on a bunch of local news.  And we don't have a fee to see any of the stories.  Businesses opening, closing, events happening, good news, crime, we've got it all and it is all free.  Grab the app and follow our Facebook page now so you don't keep missing what's happening.
