Kingfield Garden Tool Swap

By

Attention, Kingfield Gardeners!
From Seasoned Growers to novice Seed-Sowers, all were welcome at the 5th annual Minneapolis Garden Tool Swap!
Minneapolis Solid Waste & Recycling and community partners once again offered this free event on Saturday, May 10, 2025, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at seven parks citywide. The Kingfield swap takes place at MLK Park each year.
As you start Spring cleaning, hang on to those unused/unneeded garden tools, planters, garden décor, books, seeds, and more, and share them with neighbors at the swap. You do not need to bring items to participate. All items donated at the swap are free for any participant to take home. For more event details, visit the City’s Garden Tool Swap webpage: MPLS Garden Tool Swap
In 2023, over 1,600 items were dropped off and more than 70% of items were taken by the end of the three hour event. Let’s make each year bigger and better. Let us know you’re coming and invite your friends and loved ones to join. Please come to mingle with your fellow neighbors while you purge your unneeded garden tools and find just the right thing you need to finish up that new garden bed project!

March 5th Primary Presidential Election

By

On March 5th, Minnesota will participate in the presidential primary, more commonly known as Super Tuesday. We encourage you to vote in-person at your local polling place that day.

 

Who can vote in the presidential primary?

Any voter registered in Minnesota. Voters can pre-register through February 13, or register at the polling place when they vote. Note that voters must turn 18 years old by March 5 to vote in the presidential primary.

How will I be able to vote in the presidential primary?

Registered voters will be able to vote at their polling place on presidential primary day (March 5) or by absentee ballot starting January 19, 2024. A voter must request the ballot of the party of their choice (Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, Republican Party of Minnesota or Legalize Marijuana Now Party). If a voter refuses to select a party, they will not be able to vote in the presidential primary.

Will other people know which party’s ballot I request?

A voter’s choice of party ballot will be recorded and is private data. However, a list will be provided to the chair of each major political party of voters who selected that party. How a voter voted on the ballot will be secret.

Volunteer for the March 5th Polling Party

By

KFNA will host its traditional Polling Party all day on March 5th at MLK Park. We will have tents outside the building and greet neighbors with coffee, tea and treats baked by neighbors like you. We’ll also have a volunteer crossing guard at 41st Street to help neighbors safely cross Nicollet, and fire pits burning to help keep everyone warm. It takes a small army of volunteers to greet, feed, warm and safely cross our neighbors all day, and it’s so much fun! See all the ways you can help with the Polling Party!
