MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Spring is in the air this Saturday morning, and Mike and Natalie have all the information you need to have some fun in the (almost) springtime weather this weekend.
It's the last weekend for skiing and snowboarding at Afton Alps, but they're also doing something special to make sure no one goes without a meal. It's "Food Shelf Frenzy," their annual food drive, and if you show up at the slopes with some canned foods, you'll get discounted tickets.
"The Illusionists," are coming to the Ordway Theater in St. Paul this weekend. Tickets are still available for the daredevil escape acts at the Ordway's website, starting at $33.
In this week's edition of DeRusha Eats, Jason DeRusha heads to Pieology, the self-described "Chipotle of Pizza," for a cheesy, delicious taste of some personalized, fast-food pizza.
