Show us Your Faves at the Fair and WIN!

We're pretty excited about the return of the Great Minnesota Get-Together today! So much so, that we decided to host a giveaway for those who love the State Fair just as much as we do.

Starting today and running through Labor Day (just like the Fair itself), take a picture of your favorite thing at the Fair. It could be a picture of your favorite food, attraction, or even your family. As long as you're on the fairgrounds, it counts! Then, upload the picture to the Embassy Suites St. Paul Facebook page's Wall. (Easily accomplished from any smart phone).

National Night Out - Tuesday, August 7, 2012

As proud members of our downtown St. Paul community, we're thrilled to participate in the Wacouta Common 2nd Annual National Night Out celebration once again.

Held each year, National Night Out is a community-based program that promotes "neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships in our fight for a safer nation."

This year's downtown celebration will be held on Tuesday, August 7th from 5pm to 7pm. The party will be held in the field on the corner of Temperance Street and 10th Street, (just about a block from our parking lot).

Cork's will be serving up root beer and bottled water and just like last year, Black Sheep will be providing their delicious coal-fired pizzas. There will also be music from KFAI radio Deejay Larry Englund, and we're sure many of our neighbors will be coming out to get to know one another better and celebrate the strengthening of our community.

So, stop on by tomorrow night for some root beer, pizza, or even just a water, and a great time with your neighbors! We'll see you there!
