Two obvious things you should know about Perfect Duluth Day: 1) It could be better. 2) It could be worse.

The existence of this website depends heavily on the work of talented writers and reporters who deserve to be compensated. The funds to do that come from advertising sold to local businesses and donations from readers. The more cash that goes in, the more work that goes out. That’s why we occasionally toss up a post to remind everyone that donations are a big help.

You’ve probably noticed most things are more expensive these days. But reading Perfect Duluth Day is just as free as it has always been.

Keeping Duluth’s Duluthiest website running with new content every day, however, comes with a price tag. That’s why we occasionally toss up a post like this one to remind everyone that PDD can always be better or worse based on cash flow, so donations are a big help.

Duluth’s Duluthiest website was launched 21 years ago today. Join us for a party on the beach at Park Point at 5 p.m. as the Park Point Art Fair wraps up.

On Saturday, June 29, Perfect Duluth Day will be 21 years old. Because the anniversary falls on a day loaded with events, we’ve decided to loosely piggyback on one of them and hold our little birthday party on Park Point Beach as the Park Point Art Fair wraps up. We hope you’ll join us.

You know the spiel. All of the content on Perfect Duluth Day can be read for free. It is produced by people who are paid either poorly or not at all. Advertising revenue keeps the operation going; donations help us do more and do it better.

The big news behind the scenes at Perfect Duluth Day is that our longtime calendar editor has moved on and we have launched the search for a replacement. But before we get into that, we lead with the standard reminder that the PDD Calendar is run by human beings and not machines. So if you appreciate it, drop a few bucks in the PayPal account.
