Fresh Air

Get Outdoors Day is a national movement that encourages people to embrace fresh air and exercise. Try the new workout trend that is hoofing its way around the country, Goat Yoga, or Goga. If stretching with farm animals isn't your thing, other activities include archery, canoeing and fishing. Artisans will display wares at craft booths and a variety of food trucks will provide nourishment. A bluegrass group, the Thirsty River, provides musical entertainment. (4-8 p.m. today. Free. Powderhorn Park, 3400 15th Av. S., Mpls.)
