Book festival, Collector's Day: What to do in the Twin Cities this weekend
Got a passion for vintage PEZ dispensers, plastic animal figurines or 19th-century one-room schoolhouse items? You might enjoy Collectors Day , the Bell Museum's annual showcase of Minnesotans' unique personal collections. The big picture: St. Paul's natural history museum will host a wide variety of collections from community members, local organizations and its own archives.

Collectors are on site to show off their passion and answer questions about their gathering process. 📍 Details: Saturday from 10am to 3pm. Included with museum admission ($12 for ages 3-21, $15 for ages 22 and up). More things to do… 📚 Find your winter read at Rain Taxi's Twin Cities Book Festival Saturday in Union Depot.
