Everything You Need to Know about the Wine and Beer Event in MN!

If you were at Rochesterfest or tried to get some candy at some of the other local parades in Southeast Minnesota, you probably remember seeing Chang the Dragon. Clowns, motorcycles, and drift trikes also tag along to entertain the crowd as well. What you may not know is that the individuals providing this fun for the community are Rochester Area Shriners.

Chang the Dragon won't be at this upcoming event for the Rochester Area Shriners BUT you can be! Yes, everyone is invited to sample some wine, beer, and spirits at the Rochester Area Shriners' 5th annual event on September 6th.

Top spots in Rochester with amazing customer service!

Not sure if this is a priority for you but the majority of people like to see a little bit of R-E-S-P-E-C-T when they are buying things from a business. It could be ordering food at a restaurant, buying clothes at a store, or where you are filling up your gas tank for your car. Any place you spend money should have stellar customer service. If you've had a run of bad customer service lately, try going to one of these places in Rochester that were recommended by hundreds of people in town.

This list was put together last year, so, if individuals are mentioned at these places, they may no longer be there. But, at one point, they were considered THE BEST for customer service in our area.
