Share the River Nordeast

The Mississippi Watershed Management Organization, 2522 Marshall St. NE, will host Share the River Nordeast, Wednesday, July 13, 5-8 p.m., an evening of community, canoeing and ice cream. Stop by for a free introductory canoe ride on the Mississippi River, then grab some free ice cream and check out the other exhibits at their Stormwater Park and Learning Center. This family friendly event is great for kids and adults of all ages (though you must be at least 30 pounds to fit the provided life jackets). In addition to learning to paddle on the river, participants will also have opportunities to learn about the Mississippi River’s history, water quality, plants, animals and more. Participants are encouraged to share thoughts and ideas for river programming in the North and Northeast Minneapolis. For information: http://mwmo.org/events/share-river-nordeast/.
