Twin Ports children get the chance to meet the cast of the Nutcracker

DULUTH - Some kids got the chance of their dreams this morning To meet real ballerinas.

The Minnesota Ballet had brunch with families this morning and also read the story of the Nutcracker.

Kids even got to meet some of the cast and get pictures and autographs.

"I think they get a different perspective when they seem them up close and hopefully they can have their picture taken with them today. It gives them more of a connection I think when they see them on stage next weekend," said Ballet Minnesota President Harvey Plasch.

They will be performing the Nutcracker next weekend at the DECC.
