SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA/GREATER ROOT RIVER VALLEY AREA — 2024 marks Root River Current‘s first full calendar year of publishing, and we couldn’t be happier or more excited!

We are honored to have so many willing photographers regularly contribute to our Latest Content articles and Photo Gallery — photos that add depth and breadth to the articles; photos that capture and reflect back to us the essence of where we live; photos that in-and-of-themselves tell a story.

THANK YOU to our photographers and YOU, our readers, who have told us over and over again how much you appreciate the work they do!

We hope you enjoy this 2024 year-in-review photo essay assembled by Root River Current‘s production manager, Julie Fryer.
