Welcome to our annual Best of White Bear Lake issue! This issue is a favorite of our staff each year, as we reflect on the outstanding people and businesses that have filled our pages and look ahead to all the beautiful stories to come.
Over the past year, we’ve released six unique issues, highlighting dozens of artists, entrepreneurs, new businesses and nonprofits. We’ve shared some of our favorite recipes, explored health and lifestyle trends and welcomed new contributors and Editorial Advisory Board members.
When you pick up each new issue of White Bear Lake Magazine, we hope that you feel the intention and teamwork that goes into each story and spread. It’s our hope that this magazine continues to reflect all of the heart and history of the communities around the lake.
I want to take this moment to thank our entire team, from our dedicated sales, art, production and editorial teams to our fabulous contributors and Editorial Advisory Board members. I also want to celebrate you, readers—without our devoted readership’s support, encouragement and insight, we would not be the magazine we are today!
And a final congratulations is in order to our Best of White Bear Lake 2024 winners and finalists who continue to do so much for our communities. Flip to page 18 to greet the winners!
Until next time,
—Zoe Yates
