Since the local citizens failed to cooperate and, as they do every year, stubbornly filled the streets around my sister’s house with their cars instead of using one of the dozens of nearby FREE Park and Ride locations, we were forced to walk the half-mile from her house to the Fair. This is because if you drive out of a spot on one of the side streets during the day, you won’t be able to park anywhere near there again until well past midnight. The forced march took some of the wind out of my sails, but our family generally takes the Fair at our own quiet pace, so I soldiered on.

Minneapolis Home and Garden Show
The annual Minneapolis Home and Garden show runs this week from Wednesday March 2nd through Sunday March 6th at the Minneapolis Convention Center. These shows are a great way to beat the winter blues by learning how to give your home a spring makeover. I’m not very handy around the house, but there’s so many things that need attention that I always appreciate the “how-to” home improvement and remodeling demonstrations. This year’s show features Taniya Nayak from the Home and Garden Network’s “Designed To Sell” series, and Andrew Downward from “Divine Design”. They’re also be a host of celebrities from the local TV stations making appearances.
You can save $3.00 off the admission price by buying tickets at the Home and Garden Show website. The show is a great staycation today and makes your future staycations that much more enjoyable!
