This weekend offers a plethora of exhilarating activities for Hockey Day Minnesota, and with so much winter excitement in store, you’re guaranteed to discover something to enjoy either indoors or outdoors (catch that?). The Weekender is here to assist you in refining your choices with some family activities.
Elvis Week in Memphis
Prepare a lunch of peanut butter sandwiches on Friday for the National Peanut Butter Day (do you prefer butter on your PB, or perhaps some bananas like Elvis does?) and embark on a road trip or remain local to enjoy some marshmallow goodies.
It’s a wonderful weekend to venture out with some milder weather (at last), and there’s plenty to engage in. The St. Paul Winter Carnival commences on Thursday with numerous activities ranging from ice fishing to treasure hunts, artistic ice castles to explore, and much more.
