Local restaurants and breweries add domes to extend outdoor dining season
Restaurants across the Twin Cities are adding heaters, tents and domes to their patios to extend the outdoor dining season. And some are even taking that concept and expanding it. Northeast Minneapolis brewery, Broken Clock Brewing Collective has put up three themed igloos. They offer ?A Day at the Beach? igloo with a lifeguard chair and a surfboard table, ?Retro? which has knitted throws and vintage seating and a hefty box TV, and ?Camping? which even smells and sounds like a night under the stars in the woods. Each igloo comes equipped with a heater. The igloos must be reserved in advance and can hold up to six people. Broken Clock Beertenders never go in the igloos; instead orders are left on a barrel outside the dome entrance. Each dome is sanitized in between groups.

Red Wing bakery?s election cookie poll seeing record turnout
Most people probably wouldn?t describe this election as ?sweet,? except maybe those at Hanisch Bakery in Red Wing. Since 1984, the bakery has hosted a cookie poll. They sell frosted sugar cookies with presidential candidates? names on them. And they?re keeping track of the sales. The winning candidate?s cookie has consistently aligned with the popular vote since its inception. During the last election cycle, Hanisch Bakery sold around 3,000 cookies with Hillary Clinton winning by just four cookies. This year, they?ve already sold almost 14,000 cookies and there?s still 10 days until the election. And for the first time since 1992, there?s a surprising third party candidate, a red white and blue poop emoji cookie. It?s something the owner, Bill Hanisch, came up with after the first debate.
