Published 6 days agoΒ β€’Β 3 min read

Happy Monday! This is one of those days I mentioned that I'm technically on vacation, but still wanted to get a newsletter out to you so there may be a few last minute things that don't make it in here and if so they'll be added on the website and/or Facebook and or the Great Deals Page.

If you missed Friday's newsletter it's still worth checking out because the events we included are ongoing including the Como weekend shuttle, FREE fitness in the parks and the Walnut Grove Pageant and Village Fair happening the next two weekends. You can still see the newsletter here.

Then, check your email again Wednesday morning for the newsletter. In the meantime you can stay up-to-date on our Facebook Page and on the website. Thank you for reading! I appreciate you being an email subscriber!

Minnesota Wild Block Party Series

The Minnesota Wild organization is hitting the road and traveling to 8 Cub stores around the state to celebrate Wild Hockey!

The next one is tomorrow in Bloomington, then multiple locations in the Metro, Duluth, Buffalo, Cambridge and others over the next several weeks.

At these free events they have interactive games and music for fans of all ages to enjoy including an inflatable street hockey rink, an inflatable shooting activation with electronic hockey net, a video game station featuring EA Sports NHL 25 and yard games.

Trail of Small Wonders

Explore a bit of outdoor magic with the Trail of Small Wonders at Westwood Hills Nature Center in St. Louis Park! This miniature world features a whimsical collection of tiny, handmade dwellings crafted specifically for fairies, elves, gnomes, and perhaps even a few trolls.

The fun kicks off today with a special opening day celebration featuring extra nature activities and family entertainment. If you can't make it out today, the hidden village remains open for visitors to discover all summer long.

Open each day from sunrise to sunset, the trail is free to visit.

Restaurant Week in the Twin Cities

Exploring the local dining scene and save during Summer Restaurant Week in the Twin Cities! Running from July 13th through July 19th, it features over 60 of the best restaurants across the metro area offering exclusive, multi-course menus for $15 to $50. It's a great way to try out a trendy new spot or revisit an old favorite without breaking the bank.

New this summer, there is also a giveaway you can enter for a chance to win a $500 gift card bundle to some of the city's best dining spots. All you have to do is enter your name and email on their website.

Tables tend to book up fast, so checking out the menus and securing your reservations early is highly recommended.

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!
