Observations from the Web and Beyond of Pat Moriarty

There is a museum located in downtown Austin, Minnesota. It is a must see to learn everything about a classic American food made by the Hormel Foods. This museum is a must see for the whole family. I even learned some new sandwich recipes and as most people know - I Like Sandwiches. This was one of our first stops on our trip Go West 2025 .

Fans of classic TV will instantly recognize Marion Ross as “Mrs. C” from the classic television show Happy Days where she played the role of an iconic television mom.  A Minnesota native, Marion Ross is honored in her hometown of Albert Lea, Minnesota, with a beautifully crafted statue right outside the Marion Ross Performing Arts Center. This was another stop in our adventure as we  Go West 2025 .

In late April and early May I traveled West to visit National Parks and Roadside America. My website is now available at PatMoriarty.com/go-west . On our first day on the road we visited Blue Earth, Minnesota and the Jolly Green Giant Statue. Little Sprout also greeted us on our visit.
