Up to 20 teams will participate in an all day race.  Be prepared for mental and physical challenges that will take you in and around Lyndale. You’ll be running…biking…maybe a little climbing… solving riddles and following clues.  Compete for exciting prizes along the way if you are skilled (or lucky) enough to pass elimination rounds….The Grand prize will be a dinner for two at a lovely Minneapolis restaurant.

Teams should bring a backpack, camera, and be prepared to get around the city by foot, bus, and rail!

Hosted By: Holly Reckel & Trish Lundberg
Date: Saturday October 10th – (rain or shine)
Meet at Painter Park (34th & Lyndale) at 10 am.  The race is expected to last four to five hours.

Want a good excuse to spend all day eating at great local restaurants.  On Thursday, September 17th we’re giving you the perfect excuse – Eating for Art.  Now in its third year, Eating for Art partners local restaurants and the Lyndale and Kingfield Neighborhood Associations to raise money for neighborhood art projects.

This year the money raised will be split between two community-arts projects. A new Family Arts programming initiative at Leonardo’s Basement supported by KFNA that is helping to build families’ connections across our neighborhood, and encourage exploration and experimentation in the arts; and the Hosmer Music and Dance from Around the World Program, which is a partnership between LNA and Hosmer Library that brings free live music and dance programming to Hosmer Library and Painter Park.   Join us at these local restaurants:
