SUMMARY:Kingfield Farmers Market | 4055 Nicollet Ave - Minneapolis
DESCRIPTION:Kingfield Market was launched in 2001 in cooperation with the Kingfield Neighborhood Association.  What began as a pickup truck full of vegetables parked behind Anodyne Coffeehouse has since grown into bustling market with forty vendors every week and thousands of customers attending every Sunday.  We are a produce-focused market offering a wide variety of fruits and vegetables along with prepared foods\, coffee\, hand made crafts and more.  As an independent nonprofit since 2008\,  the market continues to play a prominent role in the local food scene\, winning City Pages’ Best Farmers Market award in 2013 and 2011.

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:Spinning Wheel Trilogy | Chanhassen Dinner Theatres
DESCRIPTION:A Tribute to Blood\, Sweat & Tears\, Chicago & Tower of Power \nFeaturing Mick Sterling & Wayne Anthony \nExperience the horn-driven power of vocal jazz rock with a top-tier band performing hits like “Spinning Wheel\,” “Make Me Smile\,” and “What Is Hip”—a soulful\, high-energy tribute to a revolutionary era. \n“Frontmen Wayne Anthony\, Mick Sterling & Scottie Bahr commanded the stage with charisma and chemistry\, trading soulful leads and driving harmonies that kept the crowd completely engaged. Their energy was contagious – the kind that pulled even the most reserved listeners out of their seats. \nWayne Anthony was particularly impressive in his versatility. Beyond his powerhouse vocals\, he moved effortlessly between drums and other percussion instruments\, infusing each song with texture and rhythm. Having previously seen him deliver an uncanny Frank Sinatra performance\, I can say with confidence that his talent seems endless – a true Minnesota treasure whose range continues to surprise and delight.” \n– Eden Prairie News
