(ABC 6 News)- Today is the first, of two days, at the Big Buck Shopping Event in downtown Albert Lea. The event helps kick off firearm deer hunting season which begins tomorrow in Minnesota, giving people who aren’t into hunting, something to do while the hunters are out.

Some businesses include:

  • Grace and Glory Consignment
