SUMMARY:Southwest Farmers Market | 5025 Knox Ave S - Minneapolis
DESCRIPTION:Southwest Farmers Market launched in 2025 as the newest addition to the Neighborhood Roots family of markets. Formerly known as the Fulton Farmers Market\, this reimagined and relocated market was created to better reflect and serve the diverse neighborhoods of South Minneapolis. Nestled near Minnehaha Creek\, the market’s namesake bridge is a nod to the nearby footbridge—a symbol of connection and community. Just like the bridge\, the market brings neighbors together each Saturday to celebrate fresh\, local food and the people who grow it.

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.

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
