In 2011, <br />over 11,700 vehicles registered for the event, therefore The Mermaid can <br />expect at least that many registrants this year. <br /> <br />The Mermaid Event Center is planning special <br />activities to be held at The Mermaid during the <br />“Back to the 50s” registration such as a beer <br />garden and musical entertainment. Details <br />regarding those activities will be announced in <br />coming months. <br /> <br />Because the Mounds View AmericInn Hotel & Suites will more than likely <br />be booked with “Back to the 50s” participants from June 20 through June <br />23, 2012, Mounds View businesses are encouraged to offer special deals or discounts, which could potentially be <br />included in a coupon book provided to registrants. <br /> <br />The City of Mounds View is proud that The Mermaid was chosen as the “Back to the 50s” registration headquarters <br />for 2012. City officials are certain that Mounds View residents and businesses will provide “Back to the 50s” <br />participants with a very warm welcome. <br />The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) will be <br />replacing two bridges crossing 35W (see map to the right) in <br />Mounds View this Summer/Fall. Tentative plans are for both <br />bridges to be removed in early June. Construction is anticipated <br />to last until late October 2012. <br /> <br />MnDOT is developing a Webpage for this project. When <br />available, the link will be posted on the City’s Website. Kent <br />Barnard and Mark Lindeberg of MnDOT will be attending the <br />Wednesday, April 11th Mounds View Business Council meeting <br />at 7:30am at the Mounds View Community Center to answer any <br />questions that businesses might have about both bridge <br />replacements. <br /> <br />If you have questions about this project, please contact Kent <br />Barnard at 651-234-7504 or kent.barnard@state.mn.us. <br /> <br /> <br />The Mermaid Event  Center is the Registration Headquarters   <br />for This Summer’s MSRA “Back to the 50s Weekend”   <br />Two  Bridge Replacements to Occur   <br />in Mounds View This Summer/Fall
