 This week, our Summer Festival Spotlight Series takes us to Akeley, Minnesota. Akeley is a small northern Minnesota town of about 400 people. It's about 40 miles south of Bemidji. And Akeley claims to be the birthplace of Paul Bunyan, so it's only fitting that they celebrate the giant lumberjack every summer. This year will be the 75th year of Paul Bunyan Days in Akeley. The festivities kick off Friday. They're going to last all weekend long.
