It’s time to ‘choose the next generation over the next election’
President Obama visited Cannon Falls yesterday.
Yes, I know. This is old news…yesterday’s news…not news at all.
But what you may not know is that Cannon Falls made its mark on social media history during Obama’s visit. While I cannot support this claim with 100 percent certainty, I’d presume Mr. President prompted the first-ever appearance of “Cannon Falls” on Twitter’s national trend list.
President Obama also launched a FourSquare account for his rural tour, and Cannon Falls was its premier check-in point.
This may not actually be a historic event, but every time I read a journalist’s report that mentioned Hi-Quality Bakery my craving for donuts and scones revved up immediately. It seems most reporters indulged in Cannon Falls’ sweet treats; thank goodness Julie decided to open the store on a Monday despite the fact that it’s her day of respite.

Finally, check out this Star Tribune video. The compilation includes a certain English teacher from Northfield who has taught most of Cannon Falls a little about grammar and a lot about life.
