| The Monster of Minnesota! There's a monster in Minnesota and a $50,000 reward if you can catch it! Many in eastern Minnesota say there's a large, serpent-like creature living in the Mississippi River's Lake Pepin below Maiden Rock. Capitalizing on the publicity, the Lake City Tourism Bureau has helped set up a $50,000 reward for hooking, netting or capturing the creature on a camera. Locals have named the alleged creature "Pepie" and believers say the legend of Pepie comes in part from the native Dakota people that lived in the area. They refused to travel on Lake Pepin in canoes because of large creatures that would come to the surface and damage their boats. (St. Paul Pioneer Press)
