They had relocated from the east coast and their new Minnesota home reminded them of Wyoming Valley in Pennsylvania.With the recent annexation of Wyoming Township, approximately 7000 people call the city of Wyoming, Minnesota home.Here is a top ten … (9 comments)

forest lake schools: A Fall Family Tradition in Wyoming, MN—Lendt’s Pumpkin Patch - 10/05/08 09:34 AM
It was a bright sunny October day almost a decade ago, when I first stepped off the Forest Lake Area school bus onto the Lendt's Pumpkin Patch.

With 30 or so other excited children and their parents or grandparents by their sides, we sat on our hay bales for the bumpy ride across the well worn track.

Like a transformer in slow motion, the new Forest Lake water tower began to take on its final shape this past week. The construction process is quite a sight to see!
