Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! 2013 is finally upon us and along with a new year comes endless opportunities and possibilities. Take a moment and really think, what would you like to accomplish this year? It certainly is easy to make a resolution and forget about it by February but how about this year you stick to it! If your new goals include traveling or being more adventurous let us help by letting you know some of the great things St. Paul has to offer right here in your back yard. Just because it's cold doesn't mean the city shuts down, there are so many things still going on all winter long around here your sure to never be bored.  

The Minnesota Swarm is in full swing at the Xcel Center (located just a few blocks from the Crowne Plaza) from now until May. Catch this cutting edge sport at one of the Midwest's finest facilities. MNSwarm.com for more information and ticket sales.

January marks a very exciting time in St Paul as the Winter Carnival is in full swing starting Janury 24th and goes until February 3rd. Throughout its 125-year history, the Saint Paul Winter Carnival has been an integral part of the social fabric of Saint Paul. The carnival reaches out to the people of the Greater Saint Paul area to weave a tapestry of cultures with educational and cultural programming. This event offers something for everyone so bring the whole family and enjoy this great tradition!
On January 26 get out your long johns, hats and scarfs because the 4th Annual Beer Dabbler is here! This outdoor beer festival is one heck of a good time and is sure to please those taste buds. The festival includes more than 100 breweries sampling more than 300 beers, the festival also includes live music on two stages, an AHA/BJCP Homebrew Contest presented by Northern Brewer, The Lord Dabbler Cupawarded to the best brewery as voted on by festival-goers, Silent Disco, contests and hot food served by local gourmet food trucks. Tickets are $35 in advance or $45 at the door (if still available) –But be aware that this event  has sold out every year so don't procrastinate, get your tickets today.


Are you ready for something crazy to watch? Hold on tight because Red Bull Crashed Ice makes it way to Saint Paul for the second year in a row on January 24-26 as one of five stops around the world (yes the world! How lucky are we?). Two hundred of the toughest, fastest, ice cross downhill racers will go head-to-head through a downhill course full of mind-and-body-bending jumps, turns and slides – all against the backdrop of the historic Cathedral of Saint Paul with thousands of spectators bearing witness. Don't miss out on this spectacular mind blowing event as not many people can ever say they got to see it "live".


Don't forget, the Crowne Plaza St. Paul Riverfront hotel is just minutes away from some of Minnesota's most exciting attractions such as Minnesota Science Museum, Como Zoo, Mall of America, Target Field, and Xcel Energy Center which all offer awesome events year round!



At the Crowne Plaza we have something for everyone. No one says you have to travel far to get a little vacation so come over to St. Paul for the weekend and experience all sorts of new and exciting things.

Until next time, stay warm- Adena
