Light It Up, Kingfield!

Continuing on Mondays Evenings in December, When Sunset Hovers around 4:32 PM

Dec. 14: “Do You Want to Build A Snowman?” (Bring on your inner Elsa!)
Dec. 21: Bring on the Sing with “This Little Light of Mine”, scheduled in harmony with MPR!

Light up your yard on Mondays from 5-7 PM and encourage your neighbors to also, to create a walk of wonder through our Kingfield Streets. Light a luminary, drag the fire pit to the front yard, string the holiday lights…the dark is coming and together we will keep it at bay!

Be part of the Light Up Event by turning on your holiday lights or set out candles on your front walkway. They can be any sort of lanterns, glass jars (check your recycle bin, just add a candle!) or make your own out of ice.  Then simply bundle up for a walk around your neighborhood to enjoy the glow.

KFNA December Board Meeting

On Zoom, meeting link

KFNA meets monthly and neighbors are welcome to join the conversation. Community Forum starts each meeting where you can bring up an issue or ask a question, or stay for the entire meeting to learn about neighborhood projects and work that the KFNA Board is doing in the community. This month KFNA is getting an update on the MLK Park Encampment from one of the lead volunteers supporting the unhoused residents throughout 2020.

Kingfield Cookie Swap, 2020!

Smaller gatherings this holiday season means less baking (like seriously, who really wants 12 dozen cookies in your house?!) But it is nice to get a taste of all the holiday favorites, so this challenging year KFNA is excited to offer a cookie swap!

Sign up here to participate by baking and exchanging cookies on SATURDAY DECEMBER 12. To make sure those homebound by COVID concerns or quarantine also get a touch of kindness at the holidays, you can also donate extra cookies and/or nominate a neighbor to receive cookies.

By registering here you are committing to the following:
1)     Bring a minimum of TWO DOZEN homemade cookies, pre-packaged with six cookies per bag, on Saturday, December 12, between 10-11:30 AM to the KFNA Office at 3537 NICOLLET AVENUE. Please include at least ONE copy of the recipe with each type of cookie you bring (include a recipe attached to each bag, if you are able).

2)     At drop-off you will sign-up for a pick-up time on Saturday afternoon between Noon and 2 PM. Group size will be kept small to allow for social distancing as you select your cookie packs to replace the amount you delivered! At 2:00 any remaining cookies will be taken to the Aliveness Project or will be distributed to Kingfield’s homebound neighbors!

Please be sure to wear a mask at drop-off and at pick up. If you have any questions contact KFNA at or 612.823-5980.

This project is brought to you by your Kingfield Block Contacts, working to build community and connect neighbors across the entire neighborhood. To Join the Block Contact Group just contact KFNA!
