What to Do This Weekend


Red Box free movie code for this weekend is MAYDAY (pretty fitting)


I will be at a dance competition all weekend. If I wasn't, there is one place I would be for sure:


May 3 - 4 10am - 5pm
Minnesota State Fairgrounds
Admission price - FREE, parking - FREE
I went last year with my daughter and one of her friends, and we had a blast! There are free activities for the kids to do, free samples of organic foods, free samples of organic products and information that you never knew you needed to know. Plan a whole day for it, and bring the kids. This year there is a Go Greener pass to ride the Metro Bus, it might be worth it as parking is always hard inside the fairgrounds. I promise it is worth your time.
