Yes, I have a few AP friends in the Minneapolis area. Eidecom (FlyBoys) is out of Brooklyn Park area. The other 3 are scattered around Minneapolis area, just don't know the exact towns they fly out of.
Since you live in that area, you will definitely want to look into FlySafe which will have their conference there at the end of August.
Here's some links to the above mentions:
