Forays into blockchain, NFTs and POAPs live here. I write about minting POAP tokens at family events, celebrating Ethereum’s 10‑year anniversary by creating an NFT and even using monitoring services to keep my POAP feeds up and running.

I’m going to be sharing my love of POAPs at the Minnesota Blockchain meetup on June 30th — Creating Community with POAPs! Will include 612 POAP Challenge as an example and will also be sharing a POAP for the evening of course!
Today Tammy and Tyler completed a 26-mile walk around Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. They started at 6:21 AM and completed at 2:58 PM. Epic. I thought it deserved a POAP — Lake Geneva Loop Legends! So very impressive. 🥾

Stone Arch Bridge Fest
Today was Mazie’s birthday and one of the things she decided we should do is the Stone Arch Bridge Festival. It had been a very long time since we had been to this and I was really impressed by the size of it. There were so many artists and vendors. It felt to me like it had a particular Minnesota flare to it, with a lot of art that was locally inspired. We spent about four hours but could have spent the entire day there.
Some artists that caught our eye:
Mazie bought a piece of art with her own money — her very first art purchase from H. Ward Mileswww.hwardmiles.com.
I also really liked these very local artist creating location pieces. Maybe I could get one of them to participate in a future year of the 612 POAP Challenge. 😊
We grabbed some switchel from Hobby Farmer on our way heading back home!
Got a recursive selfie while collecting the Grain Belt Sign for the 612 POAP Challenge with the family (see moment).
Favorite quote from Mazie @mthingelstad : “Why is this actually kind of fun?” Love it. 😍
