SUMMARY:Minneapolis Farmers Market | 312 E Lyndale Ave N - Minneapolis
DESCRIPTION:As the largest farmer-managed market in the state\, we serve as a community resource\, a meeting place\, a tourist draw\, and most importantly\, a place to access Minnesota’s greatest selection of fresh produce\, plants\, and locally made products. \nOur roots in Minneapolis started in 1876 at the corner of First Street and Hennepin Avenue. In 1937\, our current flagship market opened at Lyndale and Glenwood Avenue north\, marked by the three signature red sheds that still cover our market. \nWe support over 100+ vendors who alternate the use of our 170 stalls.

SUMMARY:St Paul Outdoor Farmers Market | Lowertown - St Paul
DESCRIPTION:For over 170 years\, The St. Paul Farmers’ Market has been proud to enjoy the support of the community. That tradition of support continues today. \nWe are the longest-running farmers’ market in the state of Minnesota. Established in 1854 by the St. Paul Growers’ Association\, the market is a family-friendly destination featuring a diverse array of local vendors that offer an abundance of fresh\, high-quality\, locally sourced products. \nOur definition of ‘local’ is 100 miles from St. Paul – that means all the food you see in our markets is grown or made close to home! The St. Paul Growers’ Association aims to support small businesses in Minnesota and Wisconsin by offering markets for local growers and food producers in Anoka\, Dakota\, Ramsey\, Scott\, and Washington counties.

SUMMARY:Pet Costume Contest | Everly Farms
DESCRIPTION:The orchard has officially gone high fashion.  \n \nJoin us for the First Annual Everly Farms Pet Costume Contest & Fashion Show\, where our Large Event Tent will transform into a runway for some of the best-dressed pets in Minnesota. \nWe’re doing this like a real fashion show — just with significantly more fur. \n \nExpect a high-fashion runway\, DJ\, live MC\, rows of spectators and plenty of personality as each registered pet gets their moment to strut the runway. At the end\, our panel of expert judges (small children) will deliberate and select the best looks of the day. \n \n*ONE PET PER OWNER ONLY *  \n🏆 THE PRIZES \n🥇 First Place: $125 gift card to The Table \n \n🥈 Second Place: $75 gift card to The Table \n \n🥉 Third Place: $40 gift card to The Table \n🐾 WANT YOUR PET IN THE SHOW? \nRegistration is FREE and includes complimentary Orchard admission for one participating pet owner. \nAdvance RSVP is required to enter your pet in the contest. Participating owners should arrive and check in no later than a few minutes before 11:00 AM at the designated check-in area to the right of our Large Event Tent\, between the tent and the Wine Garden. \nOnce checked in\, pets will be organized and queued to walk the runway one at a time. Because of the nature of the event\, you and your pet may be waiting for up to an hour or more before it’s your turn to walk. \nPlease consider your pet’s temperament before registering. By signing your pet up\, you acknowledge that they are comfortable remaining on leash for an extended period of time while surrounded by other pets\, people\, music and the activity of the Orchard. Owners are responsible for remaining with and in control of their pets throughout the event. \n🍎 JUST WANT TO WATCH? \nThe fashion show is free to watch for all Orchard guests! No separate ticket is required for the show\, but regular Orchard admission is required for spectators. \nSo grab a glass of wine\, explore the orchard and find a seat along the runway as Everly Farms searches for its first-ever pet fashion champion. \nThe outfits may be ridiculous. \n \nThe runway is very serious. \n \nAnd our judges cannot be bribed.* \n*Probably.
