MEA Weekend Fun for Twin Cities Families (2023)
MEA (now called Education Minnesota) is October 19-20 which means NO SCHOOL for Minnesota students, and there’s a ton of fun you can find here in the Twin Cities and beyond. Here are my guides to local fun and road trips near and far!
Highlights for MEA in the Twin Cities:
Pumpkins, Scarecrows and a Pumpkin Tree! Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, Chaska. Check out artful displays, including a Pumpkin Tree. Plus scarecrows! This popular tradition of creative scarecrows adds a festive note to the Arboretum’s autumn displays on the Dahlberg Terrace and Scarecrow Hill. Check out the artistry of the experts from Bachman’s, Arboretum staff and members of the community. New this year are giant hay bales, which will serve as some extra-extra-large “scarecrows” as part of this friendly competition. Vote for your favorite!
