FALL FOOD TOUR
To celebrate the first year of the MNimize program, we’re hosting a MNimize Fall Food Tour! Throughout the month of October, stop in and check out the amazing sustainability efforts taking place at our participating businesses to be entered into a prize drawing!

How do I enter?
Each time you visit a participating MNimize business during the month of October, you are eligible for one entry into our Fall Food Tour prize drawing. When you visit a MNimize business, there are two ways to enter. Choose only one of the following:
- Check in using the QR code on the MNimize poster located in the restaurant. If you can’t locate the poster, feel free to ask a staff person! You’ll fill out a brief Microsoft Form and submit your entry electronically.
- Check in using our paper sign-in sheet. Each business will have a sign-in sheet where MNimize visitors can check in to enter the prize drawing if QR codes aren’t your cup of tea. A staff person can provide this by request.
BONUS ENTRIES (INSTAGRAM ONLY)
In addition to the type of entries listed above, you can also get bonus entries by spreading the word about MNimize! During the MNimize Fall Food Tour, you can complete the actions below an unlimited amount of times to receive bonus entries:
- When visiting a MNimize business for the Fall Food Tour, share a story or post with a photo you took at the business (of your food, your crew, the building, or anything else), tag MNimize, and tag the business.
- Reshare a post from @mnimizeplastic on your story to spread the word about the program or the Fall Food Tour and tag MNimize.
Note: to be eligible for social media bonus entries, you must be following the MNimize account on Instagram (@mnimizeplastic). Don’t forget to tag us so we can count your entry and repost your photos!

What do I win?
At the end of the MNimize Fall Food Tour, winners will be randomly selected from all entries submitted through QR codes and sign-in sheets, as well as bonus entries. Winners will be notified by Tuesday, November 7th and asked to select which MNimize business they would like a gift card to.
