Wondering what to do with all this winter and no snow? Even if we can’t hit the slopes quite yet, Minnesota does a great job of providing us with cold weather entertainment — foodie style. Here are some events that are just around the corner to get us through this weird winter.
Beer Dabbler – Winter Carnival’s Beer Festival is back for its third year!
