The area is gearing up for Independence Day celebrations with fireworks in Albert Lea and a car show, though the Austin Freedom Festival has cancelled some events due to recent heavy rain. Drivers should be aware that an I-90 detour near the Austin airport begins Monday night, and if you're looking for more activities, the Waseca County Free Fair kicks off next week with entertainment like Dillon Carmichael and Lorrie Morgan performing at the Freeborn County Fair. Weather looks pleasant today with highs around 86°F and clear skies ahead.
