See the Minnesota Home Show at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds this weekend, April 24-26. Everything for your home improvement projects is on display. I went last year and was amazed at all of the innovation in energy saving in home building and appliances. They have dozens and dozens of exhibitors of everything from kitchens to landscaping. It’s a chance to talk to experts about your remodeling plans and see demonstrations of the latest products. See http://www.acshomeshow.com/HGExpo/MSS.html or call 888-560-3976 for more information.

It’s All Happening at The Minnesota Zoo
The Minnesota Zoo in Apple Valley is featuring an African Safari this summer from May 23rd through September 7th. Complete with antelope, giraffes, zebras, and even wildebeest. That’s a great staycation that your whole family can enjoy, and it’s right in our back yard. There’s nothing like a trip to the zoo for creating family memories.
The Minnesota Zoo is a real treasure, and if you haven’t been there in a while I think you’ll be surprised at the changes they’ve made. I remember when the Zoo first opened and had the Beluga Whales in a special tank with an indoor aquarium so you could see them swimming together. One of the whales developed a skin irritation from the tank water and the resourceful folks at 3M developed a special bandage-cum-PostIt-Note to help let it heal. Sadly, they found that the facilities just weren’t suitable for the whales and they had to send them elsewhere.
The Minnesota Zoo now has over 380 animals on exhibit and offers tours and daily shows. You can visit their website linked above, or call them at 952-431-9200 for more information.
