Published 16 days agoΒ β€’Β 3 min read

Happy Monday! I hope you had a good weekend. I'm jumping right to the heart of the newsletter today because I'm off to be on Minnesota Live on KSTP channel 5 this morning. I'll share a link to it in Wednesday's newsletter (and later today on our Facebook page).

The only part of the newsletter I had to skimp on today is the deals section since many are just announced this morning so I'll be adding the rest onto our Current Great Deals Page later today!

If you missed Friday's newsletter you can still see it HERE, but many of the things included were for the weekend only except for some of the items under the deals section.

We'll talk Wednesday and in the meantime you can stay up-to-date on our Facebook Page and on the website. Thanks for reading! I really DO appreciate it!

Minneapolis Rodeo Ticket Discount and Giveaway

Put on your cowboy boots and enjoy a day of family fun at the Minneapolis Rodeo at Surly Brewing Festival Field on June 6th!

This is the first-ever outdoor Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) sanctioned rodeo this summer in the Twin Cities and this brand-new event is fun for the whole family with family-friendly rodeo programming, along with a music fest, vendor market, line dancing and a whole bunch more!

Tickets are now available and we have an exclusive discount code to save you 10% off! PLUS, we have a special giveaway for you to enter for a chance to win a family 4-pack of tickets!

Annual Rick's Bike Sale Saturday

Each year, Rick Anderson and his team of volunteers refurbish hundreds of bikes and then sell them all on one day with 100% of the profits going to charities.

You can get in on the 18th anniversary of the sale on Sunday and score a great deal on a bike with prices ranging from $20-$500 or about half of original prices.

With over 450 for sale, they have bikes for all ages and skill levels including top brands like Trek, Giant, Fuji, Cannondale and more.

Weisman Art Museum with Free Admission

Located on the University of Minnesota campus, the Weisman Art Museum is free to explore.

The building itself is an iconic local work of art, but there is a lot more to find inside. From paintings to sculptures to immersive experiences complete with a garden, there are multiple sections from the 30,000 pieces in its collection that they have chosen to display.

They also have an Open Studio space where each month they have a different art-making opportunity so you can get hands on with your creativity and create your own artwork.

Here we are back at Monday again. I hope you had a good weekend. Mine was good and included a lot of driving yesterday, but I was lucky to avoid most of that fishing opener/Mother's Day traffic with back roads and leaving early. I am NOT a traffic person!

While some events/deals are past, you can still read about St. Cloud Restaurant Week happening this week and a few other things. We're still getting new...
