For $20, Minneapolis’ residents will get a kit that can be used to tap sap from any privately owned tree in the maple family (including box elders). Are you a repeat Tapper with your own kit? Register to participate in the boil for only $10! Register here
We have set aside two Saturdays for sap boils outdoors at MLK Park, 4055 Nicollet, at which participants and other curious residents can watch the transformation of the watery liquid into a concentration of sweet syrup. The all-day boil-downs on March 13th and/or March 20th are an opportunity to bond with other neighborhood residents and learn more about how sap is turned into syrup. Depending on exactly what day the sap runs, we will host boils on one, or both, of these dates!
Register and pick up a Tree Tapping Kit from the front desk of MLK Park. (Note, trees must be larger than 10 inches in diameter). Kit includes spline(s), tubing, 5 gallon food grade collection bucket, and how-to instructions. Participants will be able to sign up for a shift of syrup making, and will get to take a jar of syrup home with them too! A program of the Kingfield Neighborhood Association and MLK Park.
Upon registration for this program, participants agree to maintain social distance (6 feet) at all times and adhere to the current Minnesota state face covering mandate. (Face covering exceptions may apply to certain MPRB activities.) Failure to comply will result in removal from the program.

The KFNA Board’s monthly meeting was held on Zoom last night. The beginning of the meeting focused on an update on the MLK Park Encampment from some of the lead volunteers who have been supporting the unhoused residents there since June 2020. Board business follows this discussion.
Kingfield E-Notice: 11/3/2020
A short statement about the upcoming election and potential actions in the coming days: Many of you have already cast your ballot and are looking forward to November 3rd. However, according to the high number of mail-in ballots across the country, it is very likely that the results of the election on November 3rd will not be known that day. If you are interested in when ballots can be counted in various states and when election results might be known in each please visit the following resource.
It is suggested by numerous organizations that you remain patient for the election results, and take some time to consider what your role is in society in this moment of massive social change. Shared with KFNA by our friends at Take Action MN, we would like to share the following resource with you from The Building Movement Project, which can help you reflect on your role, and the best fit for you in the weeks and months ahead. Every one of us can play a part in effecting social change and every one of us is needed to do so; figure out where you fit in.
Remember, KFNA will be available all day, election day, outside the park serving hot coffee and free conversation. Feel free to stop by and chat and we’ll be happy to discuss where you feel you best fit into this movement at this moment. We will also work to keep you updated in the coming weeks, about events and opportunities to express your 1st Amendment Rights to gather and protest, should those actions be needed. [Read more…]
