As a proud Minnesotan, I consider neighborliness a core value—right up there with casserole creation. Yet, despite my deep dedication to being the kind of person who waves at neighbors from the porch like it’s an Olympic sport, I realized that I had been living down the street from a new neighbor for an entire year without stopping by.

A big part of that feeling is neighbors supporting each other, the local small businesses and organizations that reside here. Vital to the vibrance of our community is the support of local activities, such as the Wallingford Parade, the Wallingford Community Senior Center activities, Family Works, school groups and activities like St. Benedict’s Great Bratwurst Festival, and civic organizations such as the Wallingford Community Council and Historic Wallingford.
