Welcome to the Monday newsletter. This weekend was a reminder that no matter how many nice, warm jacketless days we have at the beginning of the month, Minnesota winter doesn't end in March!

If you missed Friday's newsletter you can still see it HERE, although some of the fun things to do and deals are already over.

As a reminder, the Minnesota City Wide Garage Sale list was just published this past week and I've made updates to it every day since then.

It's getting late so I'm going to run, but we'll talk again Wednesday and in the meantime you can stay up-to-date on our Facebook Page and on the website. Thanks for reading. I really appreciate it!

There's a new offer to request a free sample of Love, Nala cat food. I'm not 100% certain on this one though because they say "We're working on a free samples program!" So does that mean that they don't have a program YET and just want to collect our address, email and phone number for texts? I don't know. You can decide for yourself.
