Blaine Events

Our little town has some big BIG fun during the rest of January and into February. Check out these events.

Say hello to Date Night in Blaine!

Remember date nights? They become even more important to your relationships with the addition of kids. Scheduling time alone is usually challenging, but not if you live in Blaine. Victory Links has come to the rescue by offering Parent’s Night Out every Friday night, starting this Friday, the 22nd.

Drop off your budding Tiger Woods or Annika Sörenstam to receive instruction, practice his or her golf game and have some fun with other activities. This program happens every Friday night and it’s for kids age 8 and older. It’s is a bit pricey, however, at $44 a session. Hours are 5:30 p.m. until 10

Although the holidays are consuming most of our attention we still have at least one ear out for the latest news from around Blaine. Read on to find out what’s happening.

Craft breweries in Blaine?

Hey who knows? This could turn into a cottage industry for our city. According to ABC Newspapers’ staff writer Eric Hagen, a group of investors got the city council’s nod to build a craft brewery with an attached taproom adjacent to the NSC. Maybe we should call it “half a nod,” since it’s not a done deal yet.

The group plans on using most of the 7,500-square-foot facility to craft their beers to sell to other businesses but there will be space set aside for a taproom and restaurant that seats up to 250 customers. Oh, and an outdoor patio too! We

There has been lots of fun news from Blaine and around the Twin Cities in the past couple of weeks. Since it’s Monday, and I think we can all use some fun to counteract that fact, let’s dive in.

Santa’s flight crew lives in St. Paul

We’ll bet you didn’t know that, but it’s true, at least according to Animal Planet. They have the video to prove it (and some pretty annoying ads as well). It’s the live reindeer cam feed direct from the Como Zoo in St. Paul. Unless they’re scratching their antlers against a tree they really aren’t all that exciting to watch but the kids might get a kick out of it.

Santa occasionally sneaks in to feed the crew and go over their flight itinerary so you and the kids can check out those live-feed visits on December

And, in the blink of an eye, November 2015 is just about history. Amazingly, before you know it, the year will be over as well. Until then, however, the Lindahl Team has put together this handy list of December events to help you wring out every last drop of 2015 fun.

Wow - A free event for the whole family!

23rd Annual St. Paul Ice Fishing and Winter Sports Show

Ice fisher-people and winter sports aficionados will love this year’s

Sure, we’re halfway through November, but that doesn’t mean you can’t use a few ideas for where to go for fun throughout the rest of the month. We’re ramping up the holidays season so many events coming up this month are holiday-themed, but not all.

Holiday Concert in Blaine

This one isn’t until December 1, but we wanted to give you a heads up about it so you can make plans to attend this free event for the whole family.

Minnesota Wild Games

Get on out to the Xcel

Team Lindahl is proudly committed to supporting the communities we serve through our MAKING A DIFFERENCE program. Although we typically like to salute our local Blaine and Lino Lakes charities, November 11 is Veteran’s Day so we have chosen a group that gives tirelessly to veterans throughout the state.

With headquarters in Minneapolis, more than 25,000 veterans reach out to Minnesota Assistance Council for Veterans (MACV) every year and more than 1,000 become clients. About 70 percent of the veterans helped are disabled.

The group’s stated mission is “To provide assistance throughout Minnesota to positively motivated veterans and their families who are homeless or experiencing other life crises.” They accomplish this by providing information,

While Team Lindahl certainly wouldn’t be opposed to selling a haunted house, we think that, at least at this time of year, it’s more fun to visit them. But our haunted attractions aren’t just houses, but cornfields, basements and more.

We can’t list all of them here, but we’ve chosen some of our favorites to share with you this Halloween.

Terrorfest, Blaine

Blaine has its very own haunted maze, Terrorfest, now in its eighth year and it opens this year on October 9 at 7 p.m. Hours will be Fridays from 8 p.m. until 11:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 7 p.m. until 11:30 p.m. Sunday, the 18th and again on November 1 they’ll hold kids hour from 5 to 7 p.m. Find Terrorfest at 793 Oak Ridge Pt. NE in Blaine. There’s a map on the website.

A couple of news notes for you and some events coming up we hope you won’t miss.

From one big box to another

Walmart moved out of the Village of Blaine for their new, larger store and now we find out at At Home, another big-box store (this one featuring home décor and furnishings) will be moving in. First, though, architects will be drawing up plans for a remodeling project for the 105,000 square-foot store set to open next summer.

MnPASS in Blaine

So, is Blaine going to get a MnPASS lane? Minnesota’s Department of Transportation (MnDOT) is looking into the possibility of installing the lane from Highway 36 in Roseville to our very own Lexington Avenue.

Yes, we do have enough road work going on right now to last a lifetime but this

Wow, September is almost upon us. When you grow tired of all the back-to-school shopping, the school open houses and adjustments in sleep schedules, it's time for some fun!  There’s so much to do next month as we wring out the last days of summer.

Minnesota State Fair

The state fair is underway and today is seniors, kids and Minnesota State Patrol day, with reduced admission. It’s also Figure Skating Day and you can meet Olympic Gold Medalist Kristi Yamaguchi. If you’re in the mood for music, check out Andy Grammer’s free show at the Bandshell or blast to the past with the The Happy Together Tour 2015.

An upcoming event featuring Big Head Todd and the Monsters will be coming to the Plymouth, MN area very soon. Live at the Hilde will be held at the Hilde Performance Center on Friday, August 21st.

This outdoor concert will provide plenty of fun with gates opening at 5:30pm and the concert starting at 6:30pm. Along with the headliner, G. Love and Special Sauce will perform and so will JJ Grey and Mofro.
