Upcoming KFNA events:

2nd Annual Eating for Art
Thursday October 2
Local restaurants are donating a percentage of their sales this day to KFNA for community art projects including teeing up Walldogs and the art show 2009.  Plan morning breakfast at Curran’s or Anodyne, grab a mid-morning treat at Butter, have lunch on the patio at Victor’s, and then dinner at El Paraiso and know that up to 31% of your tab is going directly to your neighborhood association—the more you eat then better we’ll look!

Harvest Hoedown
Friday, October 3 from 6-10:30
Leonardo’s Basement, KFNA, Corner Table and Anodyne are hosting a block party on E. 43rd Street between Nicollet and 1st Ave on PM.  This will be a family event. Tickets will cost $10 for adults and $5 for children ages 6+. Tickets proceeds (donations) will support the Kingfield market; food sales will be kept by the partnering restaurants.

From 6-8 PM Kingfield neighbors will play in a bluegrass jam band. From 8-10 PM an organized band will play music for folk dancing. There will be a dance caller to demonstrate dance steps and call dances.
Our hope is that this will become an annual event.

KFNA is putting $750 toward this event through a Community Initiated Grant.
