Very nice and useful information shared.
Thank you. We hope you and your family have fun.
Do you know of any fireworks in the Twin Cities on New Years Eve? I know last year Burnsville had one…
I’m sorry. I’m not aware of any fireworks this year.
The New Year’s Eve Party at the Lebanon Hills Regional Park (Eagan) has been canceled due to weather and Covid.
Thank you, Andrew. I was just coming on to do edits because Children’s Museum has cancelled Sparklerama, too.
