Minneapolis Home and Garden Show 2010
Mpls. Home and Garden Show

The Minneapolis Home and Garden Show starts this week.  It runs from February 24th through the 28th at The Minneapolis Convention Center at 1301 2nd Avenue South in downtown Minneapolis.

As usual, there will be special appearances by home improvement celebrities and, of course, miles of exhibitors eager to show you how to renovate and repair your house.  And there’s nothing like a little gardening for those post-winter blahs.  Maybe this is the year you finally start that vegetable garden, or plant a new tree in the yard.  My garden needs some major demolition this Spring.  I’m tired of people walking by my house, pointing and laughing at the remnants of plants from years gone by.

2010 Minnesota Sportsmen’s Show

The 40th Annual Minnesota Sportsmen’s Show is being held January 13-17th at the St. Paul River Centre.  I can attest that this show has everything for the outdoorsmen and his family.  Lots of boats on exhibition, and booths from different companies offering sports equipment and advice, as well as campgrounds and resorts for that perfect Minnesota staycation for your whole family.  Now that we have a week to thaw out from the cold, it’s a great time to think about outdoor fun again.

Check out the Minnesota Sportsmen’s Show website where you can get a coupon good for $2.00 off admission.  There’s plenty of good parking around the River Centre, so you can enjoy yourself.
