Three Things

First, it’s almost Valentine’s Day!  Celebrate love and romance amongst the flowers and animals at the Woo at the Zoo at the Como Park Zoo and Conservatory in Saint Paul.  It starts the 13 and runs through February 16. You can learn about the origins of chocolate, the meanings of flowers, and how the animals ‘woo’ one another. This four-day event, with activities stations and make and take crafts, offers something for all ages.

Next, when it is Valentine’s Day, what are your plans? Candlelit trails, bonfires, sleigh rides, romantic music and snowshoeing under the stars have made Valentine's Day a popular event at five locations in the Three Rivers Park District. Only the Park District's largest program, at Richardson Nature Center in Hyland Lake Park Reserve in Bloomington, still has reservations open for its "Candlelight and Chocolate" evenings on Feb. 13 and 14.

Finally, it’s almost time for spring projects! Get some inspiration next weekend at the Home & Patio Show!  It will be held at the RiverCentre in Saint Paul from February 19 through the 22.  See first-hand what’s new on the market for gardening, landscaping, home renovation, building, decorating and more.  Pick up tips from the pros in daily seminars. Visit the new Minnesota Green Zone, dedicated to products and services that help us live and build green.

There are your three upcoming events!  Don’t forget that there are some Twin Cities home and real estate related events in the near future as well.
