Nicollet Commons Park, Burnsville
Burnsville Party on the Plaza - July 9th and Aug 13 (Aug 13th needs some love!)
Nicollet Commons Park, Burnsville
Be part of the fun at the Burnsville Party on the Plaza!
The Party happens over the summer at Nicollet Commons Park (near the Ames Center). Help staff our LWV Dakota County booth and talk to attendees about voter registration, how to check their voter registration, where to vote, what will be on their ballot, what LWV does for our community, or how to become a member. We also let the kids (and adults) spin our wheel to answer a simple civics/American History question and "win" a piece of candy.
It's not too early to begin planning your summer fun! Enjoy the food and music while you visit with guests! Session times allow for set up and take down of our booth and overlap of volunteers
