Whether you are hunting for dinner or a good deal, Maple Lake is the place to be this weekend.

While deer hunters take to the woods for the 2021 firearms season that began last weekend, those cunning Minnesotan’s known as shoppers will be out and about conducting their own hunt and Maple Lake offers two particularly prime locations.

St. Timothy’s School Shopping Extravaganza and the Maple Lake Chamber of Commerce Fall Craft Sale both begin at 9 a.m. Saturday morning, Nov. 13 where dozens of talented crafters, bakers and more will be selling their wares into the afternoon.
