When you’re showing off the city, what do you show? A particular building? A favorite street? It doesn’t have to be officially historic, just something that embodies this fine city’s culture/history/spirit/general excellence.

Feel free to post your suggestion in the comments of our Facebook Event or email them to social@preserveminneapolis.org by December 5th! 

Please include the name/location of your favorite spot, why it matters to you, and a photo if at all possible. You'll have the chance to get up and speak at the Morning Forum to tell the audience in your own words all about your selection. If you can't make it we're happy to do this on your behalf.

MoMs with Santa World Record - FOOD DRIVE

This event is public - but only families blessed with twins, triplets, quads etc are welcome. Twins with an angel sibling are welcome as well! Feel free to bring a photo, stuffed animal, or something in memory of your angel to be photographed with their sibling ♥

Who wants to set a Guinness World Record for most sets of multiples pictured with Santa?!? We will start the event off with our group picture, then Santa will bring his guitar and a few books to put on a small show for the children. After you and your family can get an individual picture with Santa! He is bringing a wonderful Christmas-y backdrop for this. Santa is waving his usual strict event fee and asking for cash donations from the families that can spare it. So please consider bringing $5 along with you to help pay for his time. He knows the holidays are a stressful, expensive time and he doesn't want pictures with Santa to be a burden. But he is so talented and squeezing us into his busy schedule so I want to make sure he is compensated appropriately! 

The location will be at the Periscope office in Minneapolis. Elizabeth Ross (MoM) has graciously donated the space for this event. Abigail Niemann Photography (MoM) and Traci Palmer Photography (MoM) will be donating their time to Photograph this event! In return we ask for non-perishable food items or brand new winter gear! The recommended donation is 3 items per family (1 item for each vendor that is donating their time).
