Listen Local - S2 E3 - Pequot Pedal to Paddle


On this episode of the Listen Local Podcast, the LL Crew chat with new Lakes Area Business Owner Guy Nelson, who will be opening Pequot Pedal to Paddle. The bike and board shop will be located right on Main Street in Pequot Lakes, and less than a block away from the Paul Bunyan Trail. During this episode, we ask Guy - who has never been a resident of the Lakes Area - why he chose to start this business here, and what really stood out to him about our community. Also, this won't be his first venture by any means... He's also dove into the sports marketing and memorablia world as well. From recap DVDs to autographed footballs to pieces of professional sports venues, he's been collecting and selling for years. Probably his most recognizable purchase.. The Metrodome Roof. You heard us right, back in 2010 when the Metrodome roof collapsed, Guy purchased 2 ACRES of the roof, and has now created hundreds of signed memorablia pieces from it. Whether you're a fan of Jack Morris and the Twins or Jared Allen and the Vikings, he is almost certain to have a piece of the dome's roof signed by those players. So many different avenues discussed on this show, it's defintiely one you won't want to miss.
