About "Our North" by LakesPROUD
It’s not just up north. It’s OUR North! Embrace your community of the Northern Minnesota area and buy, shop, and choose local. While we love our visitors, at the end of the day it’s our home, and it’s up to us to help it continue to thrive. Let’s breathe new life into supporting our community, together!
By shopping locally, we’re not just supporting businesses, we’re uplifting neighbors, friends, and families who are the soul of our towns. When we lift each other up, we all win.
The best of Northern Minnesota isn’t found on big-box shelves—it’s crafted, grown, and created right here in our own backyards. We celebrate the one-of-a-kind products and services that tell the story of our community.
From local mechanics, plumbers, and healthcare providers to the small-town diners and boutiques that keep our streets vibrant, these services are the backbone of our daily lives.
Traditions are the threads that weave our communities together, connecting past generations with future ones. It’s about integrity, community, and fun.
