Free Tickets to 20th Annual Midwest Home Show. Get “free” tickets ($8 value each) to this fall showcase of the latest ideas for your home when you order through Goldstar. You can order a weekend pass good for all three days (November 19-21) at the Minneapolis Convention Center. Note: These tickets aren’t actually free, as you will have to pay a $3 service fee for each ticket, but consider them discounted, at least. (If you’ve earned enough service fee credits through referrals from Goldstar, they truly will be free.)
Dancercise Kids Toddler Tuesday at the Mall of America Sears Court is on 11/16 from 10am-12pm. Join Dancercise Kids for a live sing and dance-along show.

Your turn: Have you been to the Midwest Home Show before? What helpful information did you get?


We were at Menards this weekend and they gave away free tickets to the Home and Garden show (at the Return area as you enter the store). I don’t know if that is at all stores or just the one in St. Paul. A nice surprise!
Brooklyn Park Menards had a sign about free Home SHow tickets at the service desk too.
I’m headed there this weekend with my tickets I bought through Groupon, along with a Midwest Home magazine subscription, a few weeks ago. If you also bought this, don’t forget about the free tickets your received. Follow the directions at Groupon: http://www.groupon.com/minneapolis-stpaul/deals/greenspring-media-group Your groupon expires Nov 21, 2010 and you must activate your subscription online by 11/21/10. I nearly forgot about my deal!
