WCCO Saturday Morning Links & Recap (April 18)
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- From hockey to baseball to bikes and records, there's a whole lot going on this weekend, and WCCO's got you covered!
First things first, it's playoff season and the Wild are IN! Minnesota is back on the ice for game two in their series against the St. Louis Blues. Get all the stats and game dates on the team's website.
As hockey season is winding down, baseball season is starting up, and Mike Augustyniak is at Target Field for this week's edition of Mike's Mix. Check out all the Twins' ballpark offerings on their website.
Big news for the audiophiles and music fanatics out there: today is record store day, and music shops all around the Twin Cities are offering some exclusive deals. For a full list of venues, check out the Record Store Day website.
Now that the weather's warming up in the Twin Cities, it's time to dust off your bike and hit the road (for those who haven't been biking all winter, anyway). The Twin Cities' bike-sharing program, Nice Ride, is in full swing, too. Mike and Natalie explored the Nice Ride Tours in Minneapolis, but there's so much more than what you saw! Check out the Nice Ride website for more details.
It's prom season in Minnesota, and wedding season is just around the corner, so Natalie Nyhus decided to find the best limo service in our fine state. You voted, and Star Transportation was crowned the winner!
