During the resort off season we like to be involved with things going on in the community. March is Minnesota Food Share month. The Willmar Area Food Shelf in conjunction with the local radio stations had an “I CAN” challenge. I can make donuts for anyone who contributes to the Willmar Area Food Shelf. The […]
Your cabin at Dickerson’s Resort
January 7, 2015 by
It’s January, the beach and resort are closed and the cold weather and wind are here with a vengeance! Thankfully, we have many great pictures and warm memories to help us through these cold days. Warm, sunny days are just around a few corners! In a few short months we will have beautiful sunsets with […]
Welcome Spring to Lake Florida!
April 11, 2014 by
Today was a beautiful, sunny day at Lake Florida and we decided it was time to break out a spring flag at the resort. Whenever there is a project, Simon is right there to help and take part. Let’s hope the snow realizes we are tied of it and melts!

Snow vs. water
March 9, 2013 by
It’s another day of creativity at the resort. I got the idea to pack a 5 gallon pail full of snow and have our fans on Facebook guess how much water would be in the bucket when the snow melted. We got many people to guess-anywhere from 1/2 inch up to 7 inches. I brought […]
A little Dickerson’s winter humor.
March 5, 2013 by
Maybe winter is getting too long or maybe I’ve spent too much time trying to think of creative ideas for Facebook. One day as I was in the resort store riding my bike I looked out and thought, “we should do something with the canoe!” ‘Something’ would not be easy as the canoe is on […]
A fun winter activity
