• 'THIS IS IT" • PARKS, RECREATION & FORESTRY DEPARTMENT (Week of November 16, 1992) Weekend of Special Events Holly Wreath Boutique: This past weekend (Saturday, November 14) was one of special events. Sharie organized the Holly Wreath Boutique which was held here at City Hall. Twenty-three people rented spaces for the boutique. The City offered advertising and space for the boutiquers of the area. As you all know, boutiquing is a special activity for many people during this time of the year. The turnout was very good throughout the day. The crafters had a good time. The crafts were of very high quality. The Holly Wreath Boutique was a success! Many people have already inquired about next year's boutique. Congratulations to Sharie for putting on this special event. Turkey Shoot: • Meanwhile, on Saturday, November 14, Mary was at Edgewood School organizing the "Turkey Shoot". This is a family activity incorporating many different sports including basketball freethrows, hockey goal shoots, soccer goal shots, football throws and disc golf shots. Each child and parent are a team. They had five tries for each sport and if all five tries were successful they were given the opportunity for a bonus point. Over 30 teams participated, approximately 66 people. The prizes were turkeys, donated by the Mounds View Lion's Club. During the time that I was there, many people commented that the activity was a fun and nice family orientated activity. Mary is to be congratulated for this successful activity! P.S. Mary and School Coordinator Mike Quick really worked hard to clear all the school's gymnastics equipment that was found on Saturday morning laying out throughout the gym. All the equipment had to be cleared before the Turkey Shoot equipment could be set-up. It was harried there for a while but Mary with Mike's help was able to clear the gym in the knick of time as the public started to arrive. Turkey Trials: The Turkey Trials will be held at Edgewood pool on Saturday, November 21. Family swimming activities will be organized for fun. Everyone will receive a Mounds View Recreation water bottle. These activities will be held during the normal open swim time at 1:00 p.m.
