Gold Medal Park part of July 30 Great Urban Race

On our way home from the Mill City Farmers Market yesterday we noticed a table set up under a tree filled with balloon animals, so naturally we had to check it out.  Turns out the Great Urban Race was taking place downtown - starting and ending at Huberts' Target Field location.

Amye Scharlau of Cabinets for Wonders assisted contestants with their challenge at the Gold Medal Park stop.  Below, Amye demonstrates how to make a balloon dog, which contestants had to display with their picture before qualifying to move on.

  

You never know what you'll see in our neighborhood - a good reason to get out for a walk as often as possible.
