WHAT: Midtown Global Market will host the 2nd annual “Shred the Love” event on Saturday, February 13 from 1 to 3 p.m. 


Members of the lovelorn public are invited to bring in old love letters, photographs, teddy bears, clothing, and other sentimental items that hold memories of an ex-love. 

At the event, there will be therapeutic devices such as paper shredders, large scissors to de-stuff the teddy bears, and other ways to help give closure to a love lost…and give participants a fresh start for Valentine’s Day. 

Those who bring an item to shred will have the chance to register-to-win great prizes, including gift certificates to Midtown Global Market stores and restaurants, and a free night stay at the Sheraton Minneapolis Midtown Hotel. 

Midtown Global Market restaurants will also offer group dinner specials, and Michelle Gayer of the Salty Tart will be selling her broken heart cookies. Guests can also enjoy free chocolate covered strawberries, courtesy of the Produce Exchange.
