Plans are being finalized for Lino Lake's annual community festival, Blue Heron Days.
The festival will take place the weekend of August 22 and 23, 2009. Events scheduled
for this year's festival are a parade on Lake Drive, city ambassador program with
coronation ceremony, a petting zoo with wagon rides, medallion hunt, bike rodeo,
business expo and family activities at the Chain of Lakes YMCA. A special event
application requesting city permission to conduct these events has been submitted to
the city. A request for use of city property for the petting zoo, medallion hunt and
business expo and the related question of liability and insurance coverage has been
considered by the council.
The volunteer parade coordinator, Mr. Bill Combs, has been working with city staff on
the parade details and has provided the following information. He anticipates
approximately 60 units in the parade; the proposed route for the parade would be the
same as in 2008, running on Lake Drive from Marketplace Drive to James Street, with a
staging area in the Super Target parking lot. Mr. Combs has obtained permission from
Anoka County to conduct the parade on County Road 23 (Lake Drive).
The Police and Public Works Department have reviewed the applications and have
signed off on the permits with the understanding that the applicants will continue to
follow their instructions on safety, signage and parking up to and through the festival.
The applicant must also have in place all necessary permissions for use of property
involved in the event.
The attached resolution approves the special event and parade permits.

1. Approve Resolution No. 09 -42 approving a special event and parade
permit for the Blue Heron Days festival.
