11 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The Minnesota Street Rod Association (MSRA) held its 39th annual Back to the 50’s event <br />this year on June 22nd, 23rd and 24th, at the Minnesota State Fair grounds. The registration <br />hotel was the Mermaid Event Center here in Mounds View. This year there were 11,700 <br />registered classic cars. This presented a challenge to organize and safely control the traffic <br />flow for the thousands of vehicles in and out of the area. Months of planning and meetings <br />between state, county and local officials took place to deal with the potential traffic <br />congestion. This was complicated by the recent construction in the area including the <br />removal of the County Road 10 bridges. However, all of the feedback received was positive <br />indicating a carefully controlled and well managed event! <br /> <br /> Overhead view of the Mermaid parking lot during the MSRA registration <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The police department was represented at the annual Town Hall Meeting on April 16, 2012. It <br />also served as the first public appearance for Officer Erickson and K9 Niko! <br />
