2012 London Olympics

I have been SO obsessed with the Olympics. After coming back from a family vacation that hindered me from watching the first week, I started tuning in to catch up! Even though I do work at Ticket King, I'm not the biggest sports fan ever, but something about the Olympics is just so exciting!

Some of my favorite events are swimming, diving, and beach volleyball. I'm constantly checking the medal count, downloaded a NBC Olympics app on my phone, and even check up on my favorite events while they're live streaming online at work.

Side note: All my friends and I think that Ryan Lochte is the hottest thing since, well since Michael Phelps. But is he actually stupid? Check out this hilarious video about how Ryan is great at swimming, but less great at talking. And this article about his Twitter style. I couldn't stop laughing.


Check this out to keep updated on the medal count!

St. Paul, what have been your favorite things to watch and cheer for? Go USA!

2012 Minnesota State Fair Poster

The Minnesota State Fair 2012 poster was unveiled early in June. But apparently I missed it and therefore did not pass it on to you guys. To remedy that, here is the 2012 Minnesota State Fair poster!

Per the usual, the Minnesota State Fair has released some new and exciting foods that well be at this year's Minnesota State Fair! I've highlighted a few below:

At Rainbow Ice Cream, Five different locations including Carousel Park, Underwood Street north of Dan Patch Avenue, Underwood Street south of Dan Patch Avenue, Carnes Avenue at Liggett Street, and the Agriculture Horticulture Building

At Blue Moon Dine-In Theater, Located on the corner of Chambers Street and Carnes Avenue

St. Paul Concert and Sports Venues

I recently went around Minneapolis, St. Paul and a few of the surrounding suburbs to take photos of all the great venues! I took pictures of 24 total venues.

Check out some of the great venues we have around St. Paul!

Grand Old Day 2012

Grand Old Day is almost here! Time to pump up that St. Paul pride and head on over to Grand Avenue to celebrate with art, entertainment, drinks and friends!

Sunday, June 3 is Grand Old Day - a celebration that takes place on Grand Avenue from the cross streets of Cretin to Dale in St. Paul, Minnesota.

There are four 'zones' that make up the celebration: Family Fun District (Cretin to Snelling), Art District (Saratoga to Albert), Sporting District (Hamline to Dunlap), and the Entertainment District (Lexington to Dale).

The Family Fun District features games, pony rides, a petting zoo, music and entertainment fit for the entire family! In the Whole Foods Market lot, there are several entertainers provided. The day starts at noon with Paul Spring and progresses to Koo Koo Kangaroo, Snapdragon Seeds, and Radio Disney. At Grand & Cambridge, the little ones can enjoy free pony rides, petting zoo, inflatables, mini-golf and other games!

The Art District is likely to draw major crowds as it features art and crafts by local and regional artists. From Saratoga to Albert, you can get your fill of art and crafts. Noon-5pm will feature the Artstart Art Project at Pascal & Grand. There you can make your own Grand Hand Headpiece out of recycled materials!

The Sporting District features interactive games and fun from the Minnesota Wild, St. Paul Saints, Minnesota Timberwolves, Minnesota Rollergirls and more!

Also in the Sporting District is Bike Parking. Free bike parking is available on the Ayd Mill Bridge. There are over 140 bike parking spaces installed along Grand Avenue for convenient parking. Generally it will be easier to find a bike parking space than a space for your vehicle.You should bring your own bike lock. 

Perhaps the most popular area of the Grand Old Day is the Entertainment District! This district, from Lexington to Dale, presents live music in 6 festival gardens.

In the Grand Garden (between Lexington and Oxford), bands will kick off the day in the US Bank Lot. At noon Zachary Scot Johnson will perform, followed by Dan Rodriguez at 1pm and SarahLou at 3pm. This garden is presented by Summit and Barefoot Wine, which means you should gear up for a good time!

At the Billy's Stage you will hear performances by Arc Flash Hazard, Orange Whip and Hookers and Blow. The Wild Onion Stage will bring White Iron Band and Rocket Club. The Grand Country Stage, located in the Pier 1 Lot, will feature Maiden Dixie and Tim Sigler. The 80's Stage in the Walgreens Lot will highlight Mish Mash and Boogie Wonderland. The Dixie's Stage will feature a heavy and fun lineup with Charlie Parr, Blind Shake, The Soviettes and Solid Gold.

The Grand Old Parade starts just after Dale & Grand and finishes in the Family Fun District at Fairview & Grand.
