Welcome to the Wednesday Newsletter. It's a gray day here, but I'm just happy we didn't get snow. Are you far enough north to have gotten any? I know we'll all likely still get more this winter (and maybe a LOT) but a bit of a break is nice!

If you missed Monday's newsletter you can still see it here. The info about Minnesota Fix-It Clinics has been very popular and we also covered the new Boundless Playspace in Rochester and the upcoming Urban Expedition events at Landmark Center where you can experience cultures around the world (including this weekend).

Below we've got three things you can plan for the weekend plus (as always) there is more to choose from on the Events and Attractions tabs at the top of the website.

I'll talk to you again for the Friday newsletter. In the meantime you can keep up with us on Facebook or the website! Thank you for reading. You're the best!

The latest freebie is a FREE Chick-fil-A breakfast chicken biscuit with no purchase necessary. The Cesar dog food sample and others are still available.

Target is having a Valentine's Mix & Match event at all stores on 2/14 with giveaways! Limit one per guest while supplies last.

Later today I'll be sharing a link for free passes to see HOPPERS from Disney-Pixar. It will likely be sometime late afternoon or evening. Since I don't know the exact time and there will only be a limited amount AND I want newsletter subscribers to have the best chance of getting passes, I have an idea. If this is something you're really hoping to get, just respond to this email to let me know and I will send you an email 15 minutes before the free pass link goes live.

There's a great new Chatbooks offer to get 6 Photo Books for just $6 with FREE shipping!

Help Request: If you happen to see a current or upcoming freebie or deal at a local restaurant or store or anything that makes you think - "Wow, this is pretty good!" please send it over or share in our Facebook group. With more eyes on the lookout we can all score more great deals and freebies!
