** Twin Cities ** FUN.....Here We Come....... :-)

Join us for dancing to Mojo Monks’ selection of cover tunes: very danceable, and a band that puts out great energy - and they love having dancers on the dance floor. Gretchen Wilson's "Here for The Party", a song I'm almost sure they'll do, sets the tone for the night.

No cover charge.

The Mojo Monks are very popular, and have a following, so
arriving by 6:30 PM is strongly advised.
Come early for introductions and conversation before the music starts.
Arriving by 6:30 will allow for better seating with others in this group.
This venue doesn’t allow for saving large amounts of seating so getting there early is the way to go.

Music starts at 7:30 PM.
Your co-hosts will be there by 6:15 PM.

Generous drinks.
A good dance surface. The dance floor does get crowded.
Their posted restaurant hours on Fridays are until 9:00 PM.

Free parking, but get there early because it does fills up quickly. Overflow parking next door in the Cub Foods parking lot.
The musical performance will go on until about 11:30 PM.

How to find us:
Come early. Look for our saved tables.
We co-hosts look like our photos. We'll be there early to save low top tables, some distance from the music, so that we'll be able to have conversation. Once the band starts many of us will be on the dance floor most of the time.

Our group is inclusive. Everyone is welcome.

Necessary Diversion is a high energy cover band:

What to bring
Lawn chair, water, maybe sunscreen (your call, obviously), cash and credit card. I use ear plugs when near the band, but, again, obviously, that's your individual call to make.

Weather
The day of this event you may be relying on me, your event host, Gary, to make the go/no-go decision in case of rainy weather.
I'm not likely to cancel unless a soaking all day rain seems very likely.

I'm not familiar with this event's set-up, never having previously attended it. The performers and/or the audience might or might not be under a canopy or tent. I'll post comments on this page with further updates as I become aware of them.
Possible information sources: the parish office phone number:
651-645-9389 and church website: https://saintroseoflima.net/ .

Of course, if there are any weather-related updates, or if I see a need to cancel, I'll post a comment here on this page.

How to find us
I look like my photo. I'll be wearing my baseball style cap: red-orange-yellow-green cap with a jungle leaves design. Also, I'll have a balloon on a green 5 ft. pole near me. I'll set up close to the front (but not too close) for quick access to dancing.

It IS Saturday night, so If anyone has an idea for a post-event gathering at a local establishment, suggestions are welcome.

Our group is inclusive. Everyone is welcome.
