History loving adults are invited to our first evening tour of the 2019 season. Visitors will enjoy a glass of wine and light refreshments before going on a tour of the Gibbs Farmhouse led by Site Manager Sammy Nelson. This tour will go in-depth on the Gibbs family and their life in early Minnesota. Sammy will draw on information from the Ramsey County Historical Society’s Collection and stories told by Jane and Heman’s children and grandchildren.

Looking for something fun to do Friday evenings during the summer?  Friday Night “Flicks on the Bricks” is one idea. These events take place in Burnsville at Nicollet Commons Park. Seating starts at 7:30 pm and the show begins at dusk.

Get cozy in the park with your friends and popcorn, and dive into some of your favorite movies. Popcorn will be available for purchase from Kalli’s Popcorn Shop.

The first movie coming up this Friday (June 14th) is “Take the Lead,” rated PG-13. If you can’t make it this week, then maybe another Friday evening will work out for you. Here’s the schedule:

Shockwaves is another water ski team that operates in the Twin Cities metro area. They’re based out of Shakopee and have most of their performances on Thursday nights at Quarry Lake, but they also pop up in Plymouth, New Brighton, and Hoyt Lakes at other times throughout the summer.

ENJOY OUR SHOWS THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER

The club’s show team, the Shockwaves, has the largest level of member participation and is the club’s most visible face. The Shockwaves’ performers do pyramids, ballet, barefooting, jumping, wakeboarding and many other crowd-pleasing stunts. During the course of a season, the show team performs and travels to communities throughout Minnesota and the Upper Midwest.

Although the Dakota City Heritage Village is only open a few times each year, it’s a place to put on your bucket list.  Visiting the village is like stepping back in time.  This Friday from 10-2 they are opening up for a Friends and Family event.  ALL are welcome to the FREE event.

The village is located in Farmington at the Dakota County Fair Grounds.   Several buildings have been relocated and as you walk around, you’ll think you stepped back in time to small town America.

Information about the Friends and Family event:

FREE TO ALL – OPEN TO PUBLIC
Stroll through the Village and into selected buildings, staffed by costumed docents, as you visit 1900.
See demonstrations, participate in hands-on activities, and immerse yourself in life of long ago.

Sitting on the shore watching the Ski Otters Water Ski Team put on a great show is something fun for all ages. Their first show for the summer is coming up soon! It takes place tonight, Sunday, June 9th at 6 pm at Goose Lake in White Bear Lake.
