PLAINVIEW NOTICE - A bear has been spotted in the Plainview area near the golf course. He has appeared to have left the area for now but if he comes back, do not approach him. Let him be, make some loud noises, and he should move on. Keep a special watch on your outdoor pets and garbage cans. Keep everything as clean and secure as possible.
The sighting was also reported on the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources site and indicated it was spotted around 3:10 pm on Thursday, June 1st.
