The original place we bought it from put the wrong 4 social security digits. He took a photo to show it exists until I can call MN DNR to fix. In my whole life, I've never been checked by a conservation officer. But I don't want to take a chance. I also bought some licorice, beer nuts and pickle cashews.

There are other colleges there too such as UMD Duluth, Michigan, U of MN and St Cloud State. At check out the tagged t shirt rung up at $22, it was marked $20 and was immediately fixed. Scheels employees usually always say Hi upon entering the store. I wish Scheels would expand more in the Minneapolis St Paul Metro. Eden Prairie seems to far to drive. They also sell my favorite Feetures socks.
