It'll be OK to get grumpy in Wabasha this weekend. Well... not really, but the city will be hosting its annual Grumpy Men Festival.

The event is based on the movie "Grumpy Old Men" which is based on life in Wabahsa. We're told the screen writer based the movie on his grandfather who was born and bred in Wabasha.
