River Roots Revue
On Feb. 15, the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board passed the controversial Reciprocal Use Agreement with DeLaSalle High School 6 to 3. The agreement permits DeLaSalle to close off historic Grove Street in order to construct a 750 seat stadium. But in no way is this a done deal.
On Sunday, May 21 the Friends of the Riverfront (FOR) are sponsoring a special event to raise funds to offset expenses that are expected to be incurred in the effort to save historic Grove Street and preserve Nicollet Island for all park users.
Garrison Keillor will headline the "River Roots Revue," at the Van Dusen Center, 1900 LaSalle Avenue, Minneapolis, from 5 to 10 p.m. Tickets are $100 for reserved seating at Garrison Keillor's Main Stage performance and $50 general admission. Main Stage seating is limited.
The Cabaret stage will feature Leslie Ball, Ari Hoptman, Patrick Scully, George Maurer and many more. There will be dancing in the Carriage House with Irish, Klezmer and Beatles bands, a Silent Auction and refreshments.
