Easter Cookie Decorating Class
When winter finally makes its way out of the Northern Hemisphere, spring begins to move in. With it comes the Easter season which leads to plenty of baked goods and other sweet treats to commemorate the festivities.
If you’ve always wanted to know how to create festive Easter cookies, you’ll want to take part in an Easter Cookie Decorating Class by Julie Domaille. Held at Julie’s Cookie Creations on Berkshire Road in Rochester, the class will educate you on the basics of decorating sugar cookies with step-by-step directions on baking the cookies, mixing royal icing, learning line work, and more. You’ll decorate six festive cookies during the class, all of which can be taken home with you. Admission is $65. Multiple class dates are available, including on April 6th at 3 p.m.
Trilogy Tour – Led Zeppelin – Pink Floyd & The Doors
There’s nothing quite like going out for the night to an awesome concert. If you’re up for such an evening, you have to visit the Lanesboro Community Center on Saturday, March 30th. That’s when the Trilogy Tour is making a stop in Lanesboro, a short distance from Rochester. During the show, you’ll hear an amazing cover band perform renditions of songs from well-known rock groups Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and The Doors. It’ll truly be a night to remember.
Tickets start at $25 and doors open at 6:30 p.m. Note that you do need to be at least 21 years old in order to attend.
2019 Physics Force Show
Entertainment comes in all forms, but who would’ve guessed physics would be the next big thing? As it turns out, people love it when you mix the subject everyone dreads with a great stage presence. That’s essentially what the University of Minnesota’s Physics Force show is. For May 2019, the show will run on the 8th and 9th and dazzle you with live fire, lightning, someone falling from a tower, a crushing barrel, and more. None of this sounds safe, of course. But thanks to physics, apparently, it is.
Admission is free. The show runs for an hour, with initial showings beginning at 10 a.m.
By checking out any of the events listed above, you’ll be guaranteed a great time in Rochester and the surrounding area. Have fun, everybody!
