"We have stayed in quite a few bed and breakfast inns, and what sets one apart from another, for me, are the "extras" and the personal touches. Spicer Castle has that."

Spicer, MN ~ Fourth of July celebration at Spicer Castle Inn

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

It’s finally here – the Fourth of July Celebration!  For me this brings back memories from my childhood of the Spicer Parade and all the festivities during the day with the spectacular fireworks over beautiful Green Lake at dusk.  Equally important is to give thanks to those brave people who serve in our armed forces and their families.

If you have never been to Spicer over the Fourth of July - then this is your year!  Afterall you made it through another Minnesota winter and you deserve a fun getaway in the summer sun.Spicer Castle Inn overlooking beautiful Green Lake
