Twin Cities Event Planning

[Jakey]

I need help from all of you Twin Cities experts. The Annual International Meeting of the American Society of Agricultural & Biological Engineers is being held at the Minneapolis Convention Center June 17-20, 2007. I am helping to plan a late afternoon/evening activity for the night of Saturday, June 17. I'm planning for 50-100 people(approximately 18-30 years of age) and the activity must be within a ~30 minute radius of Minneapolis. Ideally the activity is something which will be of interest to people coming from an agricultural & biological engineering field. For example, last July at our meeting in Portland, we took at ~2 hour tour of the old underground Portland underground slave trade. Here are a few activities we're currently considering:
- St. Paul Gangsters & Wabasha Street Caves Tour
- The Bakken; A Library & Museum of Electricity in Life
- Oliver Kelly Living History Farm
- Prairie Home Companion Show
- Fort Snelling

Thoughts?

Thanks

I was going to say Fort Snelling.

Take um to MOA with a dinner at Hooters.........

On a serious note: Snelling is probably your best bet. But the Twins play Milwaukee at 1:10PM.

I don't know what exactly Biological engineers entails, but I'd go to the Science museum "Body Worlds" exhibit:

Oh shit, I just noticed your dates, that will not work. Um then I have no idea.

The name of that meeting/organization seems a little "off" to me.

It is an international society having approximately 9,000 members from over 100 countries. However, it was founded in Madison, WI in 1907 and has always remained an "American" society. If you take a look at a lot of the other engineering societies, you will find they are the same. For example, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is a global organization.
