🎨 Hand Mod🥤 25¢ Pop 💥 Monster Jam Giveaway 🎶🛍️Marketfest ⭐ Freebies & Deals

Published 18 days ago • 4 min read

Welcome to the Wednesday newsletter! Almost half way through the week. I'm running late, so let's jump right in!

If you missed it, you can see our Monday newsletter here for more about Can Can Wonderland, fun ideas to beat the heat, cheap and free kids movies.

Since it's a holiday weekend, there's a break on the Minnesota City Wide Garage Sale List this week, although there's a citywide sale in Zimmerman. They have these 3 times per summer though so it's usually not very big. In general, July and August are slow for the list so you might want to check out some of the favorite Minnesota thrift stores instead. You'll be out of the heat too!

If you enjoy this newsletter, I would love if you would forward it to a friend, co-worker or family member! If they also like it and want to receive the newsletter to their own email inbox, they can ​subscribe HERE​.

We'll pick it all up again in the Friday newsletter. In the meantime you can keep up with us on Facebook or the website! Thank you for reading. I appreciate it!

Downtown White Bear Lake Marketfest

Thursday nights are the perfect time to head to downtown White Bear Lake for Marketfest!

Running Thursday evenings in June and July, Marketfest is a great way to support local businesses and neighborhood organizations while exploring the main street to find live music, food and drink vendors, a unique classic car show and a variety of different activities with fun for both kids and adults.

The festival rolls out a new, rotating theme each week, with different entertainment and new activities to keep the fun fresh. Some of the themes for this year's remaining nights include Street of Rock, Independence Day public health and safety, and a big touch-a-truck lineup!

Monster Jam at Grand Casino Arena - Ticket Giveaway!

Monster Jam is coming to Grand Casino Arena in St. Paul in two weeks and we've got a chance for you to win a family 4-pack of tickets!

It's super fun for the whole family! We've got a special reader giveaway for a chance to win 4 Monster JamTickets PLUS Pit Passes for the Monster Jam Pit Party where families can get up close and personal with these massive trucks, snap a selfie, meet drivers, and collect autographs.

Hand Mod: Make Your Own DIY Creations

For a creative option on these hot and rainy days we've been having, Hand Mod inside the Maplewood Mall is an awesome local DIY space to check out. You can choose from a huge variety of unique projects like paint-your-own ceramics, canvas art, custom buttons, and wooden signs.

It is incredibly easy for families since you just grab an apron, pick your colors, and get creating without worrying about any of the cleanup afterward! Plus most of the products are ready to take home the very same day.

They even make their own custom molds right here in Minnesota, with some local design options like state-shaped wall hangings. Our own Hannah visited with her kids recently and you can read more about their fun experience.

Happy Friday! I'm back from vacation, but dragging a bit. Our morning flight had almost every type of issue imaginable including mechanical problem, airline screw-ups, flight crew timing out, needing to refuel, weather, etc. and ended up not leaving until after midnight. It's good to be home though, even if we did walk out of the airport into super smoky air! If you missed our Wednesday email, check it out HERE for Hopkins Raspberry Festival, great deals at Wild Mountain, Highland Park Water...
