The best site for maximum exposure and ease of off - street parking is the three -acre site just south of the American Legion. This site is owned by the City of Lino Lakes The carnival owner has viewed the site and concluded there is ample space for five to six children rides, as well as on -site parking. Cars for parking will be directed to park in the far south area of the lot in a designated parking area. The carnival should only consume about '/2 of the site leaving the other 1/2 of the site available for parking. It is anticipated that all parking would be on the site and not on the neighborhood streets. The schedule for the carnival is as follows: Set -up will begin with equipment being delivered on Wend. Aug. 16th The carnival will be in operation: Friday, Aug. 18th from 4:00 pm — 9:00 pm Sat., Aug. 19th from9:00 am — 9:00 pm Sun. Aug. 20th from Noon — 5:00 pm All the rides will be torn down and completely removed from the site no later than Thursday, August 24th The American Legion has been contact. They are very willing to help where ever they will be needed. Three portable restroom units have been ordered, one of which will be handicap accessible. Quotes for on site trash containers and clean up are still being reviewed. The carnival requires an area of the site to park their trucks and campers. They will need to stay on site to provide night security for their equipment.
