National Night Out Free Street Permit Registration Shuts Down July 19
Friday, July 15, 2011 at 8:47AMFrom the Minneapolis Police Department:
We hope that talks have not stalled on your block and that you'll take advantage of the fact that you can block off your street *at no charge* through the end of the day, July 19, 2011! This is such a good deal, about two dozen blocks have registered TWICE! :)
Many of the planned events for the NNO parties registered thus far include, simply, "talking...chatting...getting to know neighbors... catching up on things"... That's the whole point, and there'll be a whole lot of community building going on, with no budget gimmicks, posturing, or gamesmanship (OK, lots of games, but the good kind!)...
We hope you'll take a moment to register your event--for organizers of past events, you should know it will take less than 1/3 of the time it took last year. We do not require that you list all of your supporting neighbors, you just need to check a box affirming that you have their support! Regsitering will get you the street permit placard, MOA Mystery Tickets, and some neat information on holding a "greener NNO"! If you just have a yard party, you'll get it all, minus the permit.
Please link to the following ASAP -- https://apps.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/blockeventapp/
Don't let the midnight deadline of July 19 sneak up on you without an agreement!! After that we can't compromise, the fee will be $100. We'd rather you spend that on comestibles for your grill, or rent for a bouncy house, or other fun stuff!

The MPD never sleeps.
P.S. We are 5 registrations shy of 1000 signed up to date. If you are event #1000 I will throw in an extra set of Twins Baseball Cards!
