NOVEMBER 1, 2016 PROGRAM:
St. Paul European Christmas Market
The enchanting European Christmas Market will come to St. Paul’s Union Depot east plaza during the first two weekends in December, presenting a holiday festival inspired by “Christkindlmarkt,” an outdoor holiday festival common across central European countries. The free, eight-day, open-air event (December 1-4 and 8-11), features handmade goods from local crafters and artisans, as well as authentic food and drink offerings, including glühwein. Attendees will find blown-glass ornaments and artwork, holiday décor, handmade mittens, candles, wooden toys and more. Surrounded by carolers, dancers, musicians, Santa and reindeer, each vendor will display their wares in an atmosphere befitting of a traditional Christmas market in Europe. This is the third year of the St. Paul’s European Christmas Market.
Clint is the founder and president of One Simple Plan (OSP), a growing communications and brand engagement agency borne from his vision that better client service comes from efficiency, precision and simplicity.
His business acumen and positive energy led him to success on a path less traveled. In 2002, Clint left one of the world's most notable PR agencies to be a tour manager for Soul Asylum lead singer, Dave Pirner. His defining move, however, was leaving a hot shop at the advent of the Great Recession in 2007 to start OSP out of his attic. He's built it into a dynamic team of 10 professionals, none of which work out of his attic.
Clint is also active in the Twin Cities community. He has served as Executive Director of the Minnesota Craft Brewers Guild, is on the Board of Directors for Faith's Lodge and is a member of the Lymphoma Research Foundation’s Executive Committee. He also is associate director and talent agent for Music in Mears.
In 2012, Clint was named one of the Twin Cities top 40 business leaders under the age of 40 by Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal.
