The Minnesota Monthly Best MN Town Search sought to find and celebrate the town that best embodies the “Spirit of Minnesota.” After thoughtful submissions by many city officials, a rigorous and purposeful evaluation process involving Minnesota Monthly’s editorial team, a panel of esteemed guest judges and online and public voting, we are proud to announce White Bear Lake as the winner of the Best Minnesota Town contest in 2018!
White Bear Lake area leaders came together to help the community create a shared vision for its future and defined White Bear Lake’s future as being: a healthy community; a vibrant economic center; a social, cultural, recreational and educational magnet; a diverse community; a people committed to prosperity and stewardship; and a model of community success. Minnesota Monthly is proud to recognize the people and community of White Bear Lake as the winner of the Best Minnesota Town contest!
