Bubba the Bear and other entertainment being featured
SIREN-Launched in July, Siren continues its ‘Open Air Thursday’ campaign continues through August. Partake in Siren’s great outdoors as community businesses and organizations host fun activities, as the Open Air Market at Crooked Lake Park includes new vendors each week. These ‘open-air’ activities invite all “to get outside, stay safe, and be well” in our beautiful north woods.
Each Thursday, across the Siren community, individual business promotions, tailored with their own special touches, will be held…outdoor displays and/or demonstrations, e.g. ‘sidewalk sale’ type ways to shop at Siren retailers; al fresco dining experiences with outdoor patio and deck seating and special menu/drink items or order take-out for a ‘picnic to go;’; hand-crafted art sales/classes and family fun projects/workshops held outdoors; overnight package promotions; and experience outdoor recreational activities like regulation golf and mini-golf, hiking and biking the Gandy Dancer Trail, fishing and boating on pristine local lakes, and more.
The Open Air Market held each Thursday at Crooked Lake Park grows each week as new vendors join in under the pavilions. New or interested artisans are invited to contact Moms for Kids to schedule their booth.
Entertainment is planned during August. ‘Music on the Patio’ continues at Adventures Restaurant and Pub on Thursday afternoons, 3-6 p.m. And a special performance by ‘Bubba the Bear’ (Chris Lutter) is planned for Thursday, August 20th, at Crooked Lake Park during the Open Air Market; see more information at https://kstp.com/minnesota-news/bubba-the-bear-puppet-keeping-smiles-on-faces-in-minneapolis-powderhorn-park-neighborhood/5801342/?cat=12196.
