Legendary Percolators Band at Market Square Park in Mendota Heights, Wed. May 14


Details
Some of the first free outdoor live music of the season !
The Legendary Percolators Live Band describe themselves as "a variety band playing in Minneapolis-St. Paul and surrounding metro area. We play rock, country, blues, r&b, lots of pretty ballads, an occasional waltz or a polka, and we sing nice harmonies."

Market Square Park is a little (quarter-acre) town square style public mini-park set smack dab in the middle of the Village at Mendota Heights commercial development.
Mendota Heights Music in the Parks website:
https://mendotaheightsmn.gov/438/Music-in-the-Park
Music starts at 6:00 PM. I'll be there by 5:30 PM.
Get there early, if you can, for introductions and conversation before the music starts.
Dancing is optional. I'll be dancing to at least some of the songs.
Join me!
Maybe someone has an idea of a nearby after-music watering hole - or ice cream at nearby Cold Stone Creamery?
Bring a lawn chair or a blanket. Seating isn't supplied. Last year we were able to sit at a picnic table or two, which seemed to work. They might not be available this year.
Parking:
I'm expecting the free on-street parking to be plentiful, but if not I see there's a free public parking lot nearby, near the intersection of Linden and Market Streets.
Rest Rooms:
There won't be port-a-potties. According to my contact at Mendota Heights Parks & Recs the restaurants in the local area are very open to members of the public using their restrooms during Music in the Park events.
I checked with Tommy Chicago's owner, and was told that she would prefer that you buy something, but that they will still allow you to use their restroom if you don't. I checked with Ze's and Coldstone Creamery and was told they wouldn't object to attendees at the music event using their restrooms. (I'm not sure that I spoke to managers.)
Food options:
I don't expect there to be food trucks.
Tommy Chicago's (open until 8 PM) will have pizza-by-the-slice for $2.95, Ze's Diner will be open until 8 PM, and Cold Stone Creamery until 9 PM. These three are all right there near the park.
In Case of Inclement Weather:
I'll monitor, and feel free to do so yourself, Mendota Heights Parks and Rec's Facebook page in the event of cancellation due to weather:

I'll add a comment on this page as soon as possible in the event of cancellation due to the weather.
How to find us:
I look like my photo. I usually sit further back from the music so as to facilitate conversation. I like convenient access to the dance area, though, also. Look for, near us, a green pole with a balloon attached to the top of it. I'll keep an eye out for anyone who looks like they might be looking for us.
