As if the Super Bowl wasn’t enough excitement for downtown Minneapolis this winter, the Healthy Living Expo will showcase the U.S. Strongman Winter Assault Competition on March 3, inside the Healthy Life Expo, at the Minneapolis Convention Center. The 29th expo will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., March 3 and 4.

On March 4, the expo will host the 3rd annual Martial Arts Show inside the Expo Hall. The show is free for all attendees to the Healthy Life Expo; any proceeds to the Martial Arts Show will be donated to the Wounded Warriors Project.

MediaMax Events, St. Louis Park, producers of the event, along with the show’s organizers promise up to 200 local and national exhibitors, including doctors, clinics, nutritionists, healthy cooking chefs, in-home fitness products, and authors. Three stages of speakers will hold demonstrations and seminars every hour on the hour, and attendees will be able to sample tons of products and healthy foods throughout the show. Goodie bags will be handed out to the first 100 people through the gates on both days.

Cost: Admission is $6 at the door or free with the donation of a non-perishable food item (food donated to Golden Valley Family Center Food Shelf). Location: 1301 2nd Ave. S., Minneapolis. For more information, visit MediaMaxEvents.com/healthy-life-expo-spring-2018/. See ad on page 31.
