Default Looking for people from Minnesota

We are going to be in TV in a couple of weeks for a visit. My daughter has a project for school...doing research on the State of Minnesota. We thought it would be great if we could actually interview some real people from Minnesota. If you are willing to help please reply and I will contact you.

Just need to spend about 15 minutes answering some fun questions about life in Minnesota.

We're from MN............but unfortunately we're sitting here in Brooklyn Park! Bring her back to TV next year at this time, and we'll be happy to answer her questions - from the comfort of our lanai. Ha!

We are from Minnesota, and we will be in TV from the 4th thru the 10th of April. PM me and we can work out the details if you want to meet up. Now, we still live in MN but will be moving to TV full-time as soon as our home sells. So if that qualifies us I think we could find 15 minutes to spare.

PM10 we are in New Brighton. We are practically neighbors.

Hey Susan and Tom, we ARE almost neighbors! How lucky you are - all ready to make your move to TV! Good luck on selling your home really quickly! We have a year to go - which will be so hard. But spending time on TOTV helps soooooo much! What a great bunch of people!

There you are visiting TV from Minnesota and here I am on a two week consulting gig in Minneapolis and I live in TV. Weather report is predicting 4 to 6 inches of snow on Thursday!! Can't wait to get back to "Paradise"

Sorry to miss you, but don't worry MMC24. The weather is too warm for the snow to be much of anything in the next 10 days. Probably melt before or immediately after it hits the ground. It will be warm the whole time you are here...mid 40's...a veritable heatwave. The Villages FloridaThe Villages FloridaThe Villages FloridaThe Villages Florida

Welcome to MN, MMC!!! I guess it's all relative..........today seemed beautiful to us - course, if you're used to the Really Beautiful weather of TV, it's hard to appreciate 40 degrees! Enjoy your stay! Susan, don't you wish we could hitch a ride, back to TV, in MMC's suitcase?? just a thought

I have a better idea, we leave next week for TV. You could hitch a ride with us and then we will just miss our flight back to MN. We could stay in MMC24's house, he will never know. ;D

Sounds like a plan! We'll stay at MMC's, and (judging from the recipe postings I just read) you can cook up some great food. BTW - have a wonderful time!

I love to cook, so don't mind doing that at all. I must say though I am not very good at clean-up.

You are all welcome in TV. The pending snow storm might not amount to much but on my flight in, I noticed some ice fishing huts still on the lakes so when would you expect the ice to be cleared off sometime in June? Had to scrape ice off my windshield yesterday morning!!!! Never had to remove sunshine off my windshield in TV!! But I'll have to admit this is beautiful country not Paradise but nice. Found a nice steak house last evening called Redstone Cafe in Minatonka. Excellent steaks.

MMC24 If you need any direction on what do or where to go, just let me know. We will be here for a few more days.

Maria, We will be visiting TV, we don't live there. The only things Minnesotan that we will be bringing with us are our clothes and us.
This website should give you links and pics that are typical of Minnesota. http://www.50states.com/minnesot.htm
Talk to you soon.
