📰 News we're reading

• Two Hudson bars, on the Minnesota-Wisconsin border, somehow cater to both Vikings and Packers fans (audacy.com) — Hudson football fans can choose between two lively bars that welcome both Packers and Vikings supporters on game days, each with its own traditions and drink specials. Max's Social House separates fan bases by floor, while The Village Inn hands out Jell-O shots and playful rival chants, all just a short drive from U.S. Bank Stadium.
   

• Bonnie Federation 09/10/2026 (bakken-young.com) — Hudson readers are remembering longtime community volunteer Bonnie Federation, who served a decade on the Hudson Area Senior Center board and shared her music at Bethel Lutheran and Lutheran Church of Peace. The 82-year-old educator and devoted mother and grandmother passed away September 10, with her family planning a private burial in Osceola and suggesting memorials to Bethel Lutheran in Hudson or the Audubon Society.
