Aurora Alert!!! Northern Lights are forecasted for tonight. Strong canibal CME inbound. A canibal CME is when multiple CMEs(coronal mass ejections) leave the sun in rapid succession nd they end up grouping together due to strong inner magnetic fields. When a canibal CME strikes our planets magnetic field it usually ends up with stronger than average auroras. If tonights prediction holds up, stronger than normal northern lights should be visible in northern states. Remember, if you want to see the northern lights, darkness is your friend! Up here the moon will rise a little after midnight, so our darkness time will be from a little after 10 pm till just after midnight. Skywatchers, look to the skies!!!

A huge thank you to the incredible group of friends and family who helped make Resort Opener 2026 at Richardson’s Shangri-La Resort such a tremendous success. The long workdays, countless projects, and teamwork were followed by some unforgettable evenings filled with laughter, music, and great company.

Special thanks to the The Northwood's Band, The McCullough Brothers and everyone at The Dam Supper Club/Restaurant for helping create an amazing Orr pickleball court fund-raiser/work-weekend celebration last Saturday night. We’re beyond grateful for the people who continue to make Shangri-La such a special place on Pelican Lake.

Here’s to another great season at Richardson’s Shangri-La Resort!

30-day countdown to fishing opener 2026 🎣🔥

NO PASSPORT NEEDED: ✨You can see the northern lights without leaving the U.S. Did you know Northern Minnesota is one of the best places in the lower 48 to see the aurora borealis? And watching them dance over Pelican Lake in Orr, MN is such a special treat. On a clear night, away from city lights, the sky comes alive with color; greens, pinks, and purples shimmering across the water and snow. It’s the kind of moment that makes you stop, look up, and just take it all in. Plan your northwoods getaway and experience the magic for yourself. Pelican Lake might just light up your night. 🌠🌛🌙
