Come and sing to your hearts content on Monday evening between 8:00 and 12:00. Don't feel shy- come and sing some great music and then celebrate your talent with a beverage from the cash bar! The cost is $6, and proceeds benefit our youth programs. Tickets will be sold at the door. <br><br>Want to avoid the long line? Look for one of the students or staff from BLIND, Inc. for a ticket. <br><br>The NFB of Minnesota/BLIND, Incorporated Table is located at C21. <br><br>This year we are debuting our new BLIND, Inc t-shirts with a new design! If you have one of our old shirts, then you should get one of the new ones. Get them while supplies last. All shirts are $15. <br><br>Back by popular demand is Native American Wild Rice hand-harvested from the northern parts of Minnesota! This wild rice can be tamed at a small cost of $15 per 1 pound bag. Don't have recipes for wild rice? Visit <a href="https://www.blindinc.org/recipes/">www.blindinc.org/recipes</a> to get some tasty ideas! <br><br><u>Note:</u> Wild Rice is completely unlike other forms of rice. It is actually a native grain with a strong nutty flavor. And since it expands two to three times more than regular rice, a little goes a long way. This is native rice, and not available in stores, as only Native Americans are permitted to harvest it using canoes. <br><br>Need a tasty treat during convention? Salted Nut Rolls for $1.00 will hit the spot! These tasty treats are full of nuts and Carmel coated nougat with a little salt for a taste of Minnesota. <br><br>Try your hand at our traditional Minnesota Word Scramble for just $1–get all the words unscrambled correctly, and you'll be entered into a drawing for a cash prize. This year’s topic is Travel. The proceeds benefit our Metro Chapter. <br><br>Are you feeling Crafty? The table will also have crafts for sale. Come and see what we have while supplies last! <br><br>Whether it is during Karaoke, at the Minnesota table, or around the convention, we look forward to meeting you! <br>Dan Wenzel, Executive Director<br>BLIND, Inc. <br><br><br><a href="mailto:ddavis@blindinc.org">ddavis@blindinc.org</a><o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
