POWER OF ATTORNEY

		I, Keenan A. Paulson, hereby authorize and
designate each of Steven C. Kennedy, W. Morgan Burns and
Matthew B. Krush, signing singly, as my true and lawful
attorney-in-fact to:

	(1)	execute for and on my behalf, in my capacity
as an officer and/or director of Hawkins, Inc. (the
"Company"), Forms 3, 4 and 5 in accordance with Section
16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act"), and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder;

	(2)	do and perform any and all acts for and on my
behalf which may be necessary or desirable to complete
and execute any such Form 3, 4 or 5 and timely file such
form with the Securities and Exchange Commission, any
stock exchange or similar authority, and the National
Association of Securities Dealers; and

	(3)	take any other action of any type whatsoever
in connection with the foregoing which, in the opinion
of such attorney-in-fact, may be to my benefit, in my
best interest, or legally required of me, it being
understood that the statements executed by such
attorney-in-fact on my behalf pursuant to this Power of
Attorney shall be in such form and shall contain such
terms and conditions as such attorney-in-fact may
approve in such attorney-in-fact's discretion.

		I hereby further grant to each such
attorney-in-fact full power and authority to do and
perform any and every act and thing whatsoever
requisite, necessary, or proper to be done in the
exercise of any of the rights and powers herein granted,
as fully to all intents and purposes as I might or could
do if personally present, with full power of substitutes
or revocation, hereby ratifying and confirming all that
such attorney-in-fact, or such attorney-in-fact's
substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully do or cause to
be done by virtue of this Power of Attorney and the
rights and powers herein granted.  I hereby acknowledge
that the foregoing attorneys-in-fact, in serving in such
capacity at my request, are not assuming, nor is the
Company assuming, any of my responsibilities to comply
with Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

		This Power of Attorney shall remain in full
force and effect until I am no longer required to file
Forms 3, 4 and 5 with respect to my holdings of and
transactions in securities issued by the Company, unless
earlier revoked by me in a signed writing delivered to
the foregoing attorneys-in-fact.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if any such attorney-in-fact hereafter ceases
to be either a partner or employee of Faegre & Benson
LLP, this Power of Attorney shall be automatically
revoked solely as to such individual, immediately upon
such cessation, without any further action on my part.

		I hereby revoke all previous Powers of
Attorney that have been granted by me in connection with
my reporting obligations under Section 16 of the
Exchange Act with respect to my holdings of and
transactions in securities issued by the Company.

		IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have caused this Power
of Attorney to be duly executed as of this _______ day
of June, 2003.
