Mothers of all ages were honored Saturday, Dec. 2 at Midpointe Event Center in Saint Paul. In front of a packed room of community members, family members and loved ones took turns honoring the special mothers and mother figures in their lives. DJs Walter “Q Bear” Banks and Lazy T spun tributes songs while attendees networked, shopped, won prizes and enjoyed health screenings. The event was sponsored Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota.
