Kingfield Farmers Market: Crowning Our Queens and Celebrating Our Porches!

Sunday, June 7th, 8:00 AM - 1:00 PM

KFNA Table, 4310 Nicollet Avenue, Minneapolis

This Sunday we will continue to collect bee names for our workers and also draw our Queen Titles from the over 300 entries submitted! Stop by the KFNA table and find out who our new Queens are!

Also, talk with KFNA board members and volunteer organizers of Porchfest, coming to Kingfield on June 18! Porchfest is an evening of free acoustical music held at free venues throughout Kingfield on a single evening. Porchfest is a chance for you to walk the dog, stroll the baby, or pack a cool beverage and meander with your honey from home to home enjoying the beauty and talent of our amazing neighborhood! Artists performing at this event are doing so to share their love of music so please also pack your pockets with change to share your love back with them in the form of tips!

Host site maps and band info will be available at the Market and you can visit the Facebook event to stay on top of any last minute additions or special guests.

Quarterly Publications Share Events on Facebook
Fall | Winter | Spring | Summer June 2015

The Kingfield Neighborhood Association (KFNA) manages this List for the purpose of informing neighbors of events and issues that directly affect Kingfield neighborhood. This list is never shared nor sold to any other organizations. Kingfield is defined as 35W to Lyndale Avenue South and from 36th Street through 46th Street. All List recipients are invited to share neighborhood news with other members by sending messages to sarah@kingfield.org ; please indicate in the subject line that it is a message for the Kingfield E-mail List. All messages submitted by members for consideration of inclusion on the List must include complete contact information including name, phone, and email address. All messages will be screened and no partisan political messages will be posted. Ballot initiatives are not considered partisan political activity, and are permitted activities under KFNA's 501(c)(3) tax status.

The List Administrator will make the final decision as what information is posted to the Kingfield E-mail List and maintains the right to edit all messages. Many messages concerning neighborhood issues or questions we will simply answer directly, rather than posting to the entire list. Notices may also, or instead, at List Administrator's discretion be posted on the KFNA website
