Has a tampon ever made you look forward to your period? Does your maxi pad make you smile? Nope. Most menstrual products only make the whole affair more uncomfortable. What's up with that? Women deserve better. Women deserve Party In My Pants. On Saturday, April 26 at 2 p.m., come meet Luci Daum, the woman who designed the re-usable, eco-friendly feminine products sold at Just Food (you may have also bought one of her really cool hats this winter). She'll share with you the benefits of these products and answer any questions you may have. This gathering will be held at the Just Food Event Space (previously the Mercantile) at 516 Water St. S. Due to limited seating, preregistration is required by calling 507-650-0106 or stopping by Just Food. Start: 3:00 pm
