Twiggy the Waterskiing Squirrel returns to Mall of America this weekend
Twiggy the Waterskiing Squirrel returns to Mall of America this weekend originally appeared on Bring Me The News.
A touch of absurdity will alight at the Mall of America over the weekend, as the Bloomington shopping center gets a return visit from Twiggy the Waterskiing Squirrel.
The mainstay of local news broadcasts is coming by for the third year to, well, waterski.
The squirrel will put on three shows on both Saturday, June 7, and Sunday, June 8, with a meet and greet to follow each performance.
While a meet and greet with a squirrel sounds like the set-up for a disaster in a Will Ferrell comedy, how many chances will you have to take a selfie with a multi-hyphenate squirrel?
The squirrel's act began in 1978 when Chuck and Lou Ann Best rescued a squirrel that had been blown from its nest during a hurricane. They taught it to ski and launched an act that has lasted a surprisingly long time. The act is now run by their son, Chuck Best Jr.
The free performances will take place in the Huntington Bank Rotunda at noon, 2 p.m., and 4 p.m. both story was originally reported by Bring Me The News on Jun 7, 2025, where it first appeared.
