Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for May 17, 2021 Page 4 of 7 Approve Special Event Permit for Outdoor Events at the Blacksmith Lounge The Blacksmith Lounge Restaurant had submitted an application for a Special Event Permit to host seven car show events on their property between May and September, 2021. The events required City Council approval because they would be serving alcohol and there could be up to 200 people at the event. All events would be held outdoors on Sundays from May 31 through September 19 with the exception of two car shows on Mondays (Memorial Day and Labor Day). All signage and parking would be on the Blacksmith property. In past years, the Blacksmith had held around 14 events including car shows, auctions, swap meets, and a corn feed. The only events planned for 2021 were the seven car shows. Staff believed that the Blacksmith had done a good job organizing the events in the past years. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved the Special Event Permit for the Blacksmith Lounge for their 2021 events. Approve Special Event Permit for MS150 The MS Society had submitted an application for a Special Event Permit for their annual bicycle fundraising event for MS on Saturday, June 12, 2012. This required a permit because there would be approximately 1,500 riders, and trails and streets in Hugo would be used. In the past, the bike ride took place from the cities to Duluth and back, and bikers rode south through Hugo on the Hardwood Creek Trail and TH61. This year, the ride had been scaled down from past years to a one -day ride instead of a two-day ride. This year, the MS 150 would be a 78 mile loop starting and ending in Blaine and would skirt the north and south borders of Hugo. Staff believed the applicant had done a good job organizing the event.
