Line up
time is 12:40pm. Parade starts at 2:30. The Newf Club plans to "tailgate" while waiting for the

below for parking info. Hope to see you there!
Event Contact: Ted Mittelstadt, 507-451-7946.
Day of parade, 507-339-5720
**New info from Ted 1/23/12** The information below
was copied from the parade notice I received today (Monday) Not knowing that there is no parking in the
neighborhoods mentioned I supplied some bad advice in the flier mailed this morning. My suggestion now is to
park at the end as suggested below. The Civic Center ramp will work also. Then walk down to the staging area. I guess we will
tailgate at our spot.
At this time we are unit # 68 Grand Day – Staging will take place on Cliff Street. Directions:
Units will enter Cliff Street from St. Clair Ave. & Fort Rd. Once on Cliff Street
you will find numbered cones. Find your unit’s number and line up behind it. All vehicles related
to participants will be located near and around Eagle Street/Parkway in the parking lot or not obstructing traffic in that
area. MAP: (http://www.scribblemaps.com/maps/view/GRANDDAY) *Parking is NOT permitted
in these neighborhoods – you will be towed at owner’s expense. Plan accordingly as there are several parking lots
and ramps within walking distance (Ex. Science Museum and Children’s Hospital Parking Ramps). Also, please be respectful
and considerate of the residents and properties of these Neighborhoods

**Please Note, the Club is always looking for a great site/location to hold events
& meetings. We want to be able to offer a variety of sites which allows for the greatest number of event attendees
and helps spread out some of the work load as well. Locations must be large, dog-friendly & safe, have restroom
access, preferably a kitchen, and suit both in and outdoor needs. If you have suggestions, please forward information
to website@northstarnewfclub.org .

| Volunteers needed! The Club is looking
for individuals interested in serving on a Newf Rescue Exploratory Committee. The role of this committee
is still undefined, but we are basically looking to re-work our Rescue Committee--redefine our goals, identify people
interested in contributing, and form a committee. If interested, please contact one of the Board Members. | | The website &
newsletter need your help!
Do you have pictures, information, or a story summarizing one of our recent
events we can use in our website or Newfsletter? We'd love to hear from you. We can publish the information
for the club, but we are not writers and need the club's help. Please forward to website@northstarnewfclub.org or newfsletter@northstarnewfclub.org |
