Your turn: What are your plans for the weekend? Do you know of anything exciting going on in the Twin Cities this weekend (besides the State Fair, obviously)?
Not sure if you guys mentioned this previously, but the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit is at the MN Science Museum thru Oct 24, 2010. They have a printable coupon right now for any 2 people who are attending for $16 in savings. See more info below: http://www.smm.org/scrolls/offers/
“Bring a friend and save! Two tickets for only $40
It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and there’s no better time to see it than now. The Dead Sea Scrolls exhibition brings 2,000 year old manuscripts—the oldest written record of the Bible—to Minnesota, along with artifacts that paint a picture of what life was like during the time in which they were written.
Grab a friend and head to the Science Museum to take advantage of a limited time savings opportunity: two tickets to The Dead Sea Scrolls and the museum’s permanent exhibit galleries for $40 (up to a $16 savings)! Offer valid through Labor Day. Cannot be combined with other offers or discounts.”
Hope this helps!
