NEXT MEETING
MAY 13, 2025
Swap Meet and Picnic
5-9 pm, Veterans Memorial Park Pavilion, Richfield, MN
As the season approaches, go through your tackle box and see what you can live without and come see what you need to have. Our annual swap meet and picnic is open to anyone. Let your friends know. You do not have to be a Twin Cities Chapter member to attend.
Join us for a picnic starting around 5 pm. The chapter will provide burgers and brats, buns, chips and water, as well as plates and silverware. We encourage everyone to bring a dessert or side dish to share so we have enough food to go around, but it is not a requirement.
Veterans Memorial Park is conveniently located just two blocks south of the Portland Avenue exit off Crosstown 62. Parking is free.
