For the last few years, Benton Station has been putting on Sauk Rapid's biggest tent party.  Once again this year, everyone's favorite band Hairball will be rockin' the tent. You might call it a rock and roll circus.  Hairball puts on an awesome show with something for everybody...

Had my first experience at The Beer Dabbler this year. A huge craft beer festival that's in it's 6th year and is all part of the St. Paul Winter Carnival.

Yes the admission is FREE and FREE hot dish samples too! Going to lay down some great deals from the Value Connection for this event and only available at the Made in Minnesota Expo.
