We're not here to start no trouble. We're just here to do the Bentleyville Shuffle.


I found the most important characters of “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” an entertaining (TV special) in the Bentleyville Gift Shop.



Gnomes for the Holidays!



I found nice-looking red lights reflected in the water of the asphalt pathway.


I got my Craft Vodka Cocktail Black Raspberry


I got my tasty Raspberry bread.


Harbor Drive is closed to Bentleyville 2025


People should NOT drive on a closed drive!



Can drivers not see or read the barricades that say “Road Closed”?



Where did these drivers learn how to drive, by playing Grand Theft Auto 6?



The more I watched these traffic violations, the more I could not believe what I was watching.



Are traffic signs just suggestions for some drivers?



“Daddy, what does that sign say?”

“Son, it says that I can drive into the oncoming traffic lane and then back to the correct lane.  I can save a few seconds, instead of using the exit ramp that is 1331.31 feet east from this here bridge intersection.”



I wonder where the Duluth Police officers were when hundreds of traffic violations were happening.


Bentleyville Christmas reflections


Do you like the reflection of the Christmas lights that are moving on my hot chocolate?



Do you like the reflection of the Christmas lights that are not moving on my hot chocolate?


My fifth time at Bentleyville 2025, continued


I saw only a few of Santa’s reindeer.  I wonder what happened to the reindeer that had heads and necks that moved up and down, or from side to side.



I love those reflections on the water.



I love these singing, gingerbread people.


My fifth time at Bentleyville 2025


I like this colorful, Christmas display.



Could the Bentleyville staff be cashing in on the movie, Wicked: For Good?



That is one beautiful American flag.  For a Christmas tour, there are many displays about American Patriotism.

My fourth time at Bentleyville 2025, Continued


This is the entrance that I use to enter Bentleyville.



The day I visited Bentleyville, I saw that not many toys were given to the Salvation Army.



I found this stylized map of Minnesota and Duluth to be impressive.
