Good Eats for a Good Cause
BLAINE, Minn. – (June 18, 2015) – This week hundreds of hungry people descended on Blaine’s Aquatore Park all to support two local non-profit organizations.
The food was the star of the show at this event. Higgins states, “It’s fun to see Pad Thai here. They’re a brand new restaurant in the North Metro, so they had some really great eggrolls. Chick-fil-A has huge, entire whole chicken sandwiches.” Higgins continues, “I mean you can’t even take your family out for $15 and get as much food as you’re getting here.”
