* Where noted with an asterisk, these small group tours of local attractions and activities are things you can do by yourself or with others. Below are outings and activities that have not yet been given a time slot or been adopted by someone who wants to lead them:
- Mall of America
- Canoeing and kayaking
- Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge
- Bar scene (bar hopping will likely take place in the evenings on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday after other scheduled convention activities are over)
Given that these are not official convention activities, we are looking for people who are excited about specific attractions to help lead them. Use the sign-up form to express your interest. This could be your moment to shine!
