Five Things You Should Know Today: August 10
Welcome to fall! Well, welcome to a brief taste of fall weather, anyway. And enjoy it while it lasts.
- The National Weather Service is predicting beautiful sunny skies today, with a high near 75 and calm winds for most of the day. Tonight it’ll be mostly clear, with a low around 55. Is this the kind of weather that makes you want to pick apples? Me too.
- It’s Military Day at the Dakota County Fair in Farmington. Also today, you can learn all about hostas, water bugs or container herbs, watch cupcake-decorating or rabbit agility demonstrations (but not simultaneously), marvel at a tractor parade and listen to the Brian Gleason Band. For a full schedule of fair events, click here.
- And it’s going to be a gorgeous day for in Lakeville. Children ages 6 and up and their parents can spend the day, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., exploring and learning about the plants in Ritter Farm Park. Participants should wear long pants and good hiking shoes and bring water and a lunch. The registration fee is $45.
- The Rosemount City Council has a work session planned from 6:30 to 10 tonight in Rosemount City Hall. On the agenda: more discussion of UMore Park, the budget and the city’s pedestrian and bicycle master plan. Although the public is invited to attend, public comments aren’t solicited during work sessions.
- A lot of very important people are celebrating birthdays today: Arthur Guinness, the 4th Earl of Iveagh and a member of the Guinness brewery family; actress Rosanna Arquette; fashion designer Betsey Johnson; boxer Riddick Bowe; and my mom, Patricia Gerboth. Happy birthday, everyone!
