Over 1,100 Patrons, sponsors and friends enjoyed MinnPost’s 12th annual variety show on April 26 at the Historic State Theatre in downtown Minneapolis.
Hundreds crowded into Rock Bottom Brewery for the pre-show reception. This year’s event featured many first-timers, including show host Jana Shortal from KARE-11, Gov. Tim Walz, Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, Duluth Mayor Emily Larson, and state Sen. Karin Housley. Regular stand-outs Rep. Tom Emmer, Mayors Jacob Frey and Melvin Carter, and the Twin Cities Gay Men’s Chorus ensemble, OutLoud!, were, once again, crowd favorites.
MinnPost contributing photographer Annabelle Marcovici captured the evening.
