St. Paul Saints season includes nods to Taylor Swift, others
For the second year in a row, snow has ruined plans for the St. Paul Saints home opener. It was supposed to be Friday, March 29, but instead they?re aiming for Saturday, March 30. Clearing the field has been a challenge because it has to be done delicately so the turf isn?t damaged. With most of the snow removed, they?re prepping for another season of fun promos, from a Taylor Swift night (April 12) including friendship bracelets and a chance to win tickets to her Miami show, to a salute to the Peanuts (April 28) with a Peanuts replica jersey and a celebration of classic films, "Weekend at Bernie?s" (July 24) and "Sixteen Candles" (May 17).

Adele's Frozen Custard opens for the season
Whether there?s snow, rain or it?s hot or cold Adele?s Frozen Custard has opened on March 1 for the last 38 years, though there was one year they couldn?t open because of a blizzard. This year, they?re expecting big crowds for the warmest opening weekend on record for Adele?s. The custard is the same recipe they?ve had since 1986 though they?ve added new flavors to the menu. The custard is made fresh every day. Unlike ice cream, the air is whipped out of it instead of put into it and it?s made with egg yolks which gives it a velvety texture. Adele?s will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. through the day before Thanksgiving.
