This Saturday is the Made In Minnesota Expo at the River's Edge Convention Center in St. Cloud. And free hotdish samples are not the ONLY reason you should go!

However, if you're looking for Pete while you're there, you'll know just where to find him.

I will be all over the place, trying to find my favorite thing that's Made in Minnesota. And aside from a Nut Goodie candy bar, I'm not sure what that will be. There will be so many vendors on hand, that it will be tough to choose just one favorite.

I absolutely love the idea of putting together several Made in Minnesota items to send back east to our family and friends. A little taste of the good life in the Midwest. Maybe they'll send back some Tastykakes!
