We started the weekend off with a visit to the Edina Art Fair. It is a popular annual art fair with several vendor booths and options for food. A couple of the nearby restaurants had outdoor parties where you could buy beer and listen to music, there were also beer tents. A couple people in our booth bought art – metal work and a screen print. We all bought treats. As a nice surprise, a local jeweler was offering free ring cleaning. It was a fine place to kill time, but other options probably would have been more fun.
We made the trip over to Hopkins from Edina for the LDT Brewing Co Anniversary Party. None of us had ever been there. It was free to get in, but you needed to buy tickets for drinks. Several people in my group tried beers they really enjoyed. My husband was a big fan of the coffee stout; another in our group had a sour she enjoyed. We live a long way from Hopkins, but my husband wants to make the trip back just for a coffee stout. They had kids activities that kept our toddler entertained. While we were there just short of an hour, it was worth the trip. 
We also made it to the rescheduled Touch-A-Truck event in Maplewood. It was great. Lots of different trucks, some had very long lines, but our son didn’t have a big preference so we avoided those. Kids could crawl around in the trucks, honk the horns, push buttons and almost every kid looked very happy to be there. We arrived an hour and a half after the event started; the fire truck was no longer there. I heard it had a very long line when it was there. We spent 45 minutes there, but I know some families had been there over an hour.
Keep Entertained
