ICE-FISHING CONTEST This family has just won the ice-fishing contest held each year at White Bear Lake during the Saint Paul Winter Carnival. Thousands of people gather in a great circle, drill holes in the ice, and compete for the largest catch. This family just won the prize with a 24-inch beauty. An Indian legend says a white bear haunts the lake, killed by a brave defending his maiden.

 PALLS OF ST. ANTHONY Franciscan Father Louis Hennepin christened these falls in 1680. In 1823, they provided power for the first flour and grist mill in Minnesota. Another mill was built nearby to cut lumber about the same time. From these two mills grew the community of Saint Anthony, which changed its name to Minneapolis in 1885. The population of Minneapolis today is 482,872 and is the home of the world's five largest milling companies.

 FROZEN MINNEHAHA FALLS Within the city limits, Minneapolis counts twenty-two sparkling lakes. Two of these are Lake Hiawatha and Lake Nokomis, which feed Minnehaha Creek. The falls, immortalized as the "laughing water" of Longfellow's poem, "Hiawatha," drop 93 feet to meet the Mississippi River. Located in one of Minneapolis' 150 public parks, the visitor will also find a replica of Longfellow's home and a statue of Hiawatha ready to carry his Minnehaha across the stream.

AQUATENNIAL PARADE, MINNEAPOLIS © One of the famous annual events to see in Minneapolis is the Aquatennial Festival held in July. A Queen of the Lakes is chosen to reign over parades, regattas, diving, boat- ing, and swimming contests, and the Aqua Follies.

 WINTER CARNIVAL, ST. PAUL 0 Kids and snow go together, but all St. Paulites enjoy their Winter Carnival held in February. Contestants vie for prizes in skiing, skating, and ice-fishing. King Boreas and his queen rule over winter revelry. Excitement rises as King Vulcan and his fiery warriors try to capture the King of Snows. The Vulcans traditionally storms the ice palace on the final night of the carnival to close it. Sports fans who come to the twin cities of Min- neapolis-St. Paul can watch major league teams in action at Metropolitan Stadium in Minneapolis. Baseball's Minnesota Twins and football's Minnesota Vikings play here Metro Stadium, Minneapolis, home of the "Twins" in season.
