MayDay 2008

Sandy Spieler, May Day 2008Thank You!

It takes a whole village, and then some, to put together a MayDay Parade and Festival.

To all of you who planned, brainstormed, organized, fundraised, stuffed envelopes, gave money and/or supplies, sculpted, sewed, papier-mâchéd, stapled, built, painted, cooked, cleaned up, sang songs, played music, and danced: THANK YOU!

Invigorate The Common Well Episode 3

Decorate the Well
in Gratitude

Beneath the Surface

-Sandy Spieler

Join us on July 26 for an all day family festival to help us dedicate our newly restored lobby drinking fountain.

Filled with live music, an outdoor street carnival, puppet shows and art-making activities, this free event promises to be a cool way to spend the final day of the 68th Aquatennial Festival right here on Lake Street.

Lake Street USA

Lake Street USA is now at the Global Market

Did you miss the exhibit at the Minnesota Historical Society about the history of Lake Street in Minneapolis?

If so, you still have a chance to see elements of the exhibit now installed in various areas of the Global Market in the Midtown Exchange. See room-size replicas of many of Lake Streets most well–known buildings including the Sears Tower (now Midtown Exchange). Wander the market and take a walk down memory lane as you explore the history of this six-mile commercial corridor.

Alert!

Unfortunately, there was a robbery at the MayDay T-Shirt Booth A on MayDay (The booth near Stage 1, the concrete band stage. See map)

All of the credit card receipts were stolen.

If you purchased merchandise at that booth on MayDay, you should contact your bank and cancel your credit card to avoid fraudulent use.

We sincerely apologize for this unfortunate incident.
