Kenny Connections at the Minnesota State Fair

Hi Kenny Neighbors! We at KNA are wondering if any Kenny residents have a current or past history with participating at the Minnesota State Fair. Have you operated a food booth/truck at the fair? Have you ever entered a baking contest at the fair? Or have you ever entered one of the other judged categories such as seed art, painting, scarecrow art, etc.? Or do you own a small business that you have taken to the fair as part of the Merchandise Mart (or similar) area? We’d love to highlight the Kenny connection to the State Fair in a future Kenny newsletter. If you have a story to share, please contact us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Thanks- and looking forward to the 2021 Minnesota State Fair!

If you are interested in joining a group of volunteers to start cleaning up the Kenny school grounds, we’d love to have you join us on July 24 and after!
Kenny School Clean-Up Day
9 a.m.-Noon
Saturday, July 24
east side of Kenny school
Please join a group of volunteers in cleaning up the east side of the Kenny school grounds. All are welcome - this is a combined group of Kenny School parents and staff, Kenny neighborhood residents and friends, and Master Gardeners.
What we'll do: clean gardens, pull weeds, remove volunteer trees, prune shrubs and start the groundwork for preparing a pollinator garden.
What gardening knowledge you need: basically, none! Master Gardeners will create clean-up plans, answer questions, and highlight how/what needs to be completed.
What to bring: power trimmers (and people to operate them!), shovels, weeders, clean tools, garden gloves, bags, trucks for hauling garden debris.
Who to bring: fun people who are interested in preparing Kenny School for a successful back-to-school and making the school grounds something that is a beautiful spot within our community.
Questions? Contact Barb at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Hope to see you on the 24th!

Kenny Neighborhood Association (KNA) is hosting a fun evening for all ages at Kenny Park on July 22. Pack you own picnic dinner or purchase dinner from the El Jefe food truck. Bring a blanket, chair or use the picnic area for seating.
Once you’re done eating, head over to the KNA tent for a FREE dessert (popsicles or something similar.)
Then we’ll have lots of fun, family-friendly entertainment for all ages! We are welcoming DJ Dave Premack to spin some tunes and emcee special activities and dances (Simon Says, air guitar contest, Hokey Pokey, the Chicken Dance, etc.)
And if THAT wasn’t enough, we’re also welcoming a couple of entertainers for some hands-on fun. Sir Sydney Soapington, the Baron of Bubble, will delight the crowd with this bubble displays and will also have supplies for people to try out the art of bubble making. His partner, The Rainbow Lady of Balloon, will twist and create balloon animals or objects to take home with you!
If you’ve got one, please bring a yard game to share for some extra play time.
*Please note: we are not having bounce houses or carnival games as it is difficult to socially distance with those activities.
