It's fall in Minnesota, so wear jeans and a jacket and you'll be fine. It's going to be a little chilly. Hopefully the uh the rain forecast moves on into the evening. Uh and then Friday, we move over to uh Civic Center Park right across the street from City Hall. Uh even with the construction, we will have a a very large stage. all the performances. We have Johnny Home returning on Friday night and Fleetwood Mask coming back after three years on Saturday night. Uh we will have a carnival. We'll have our kids zone. We'll have um our youth area skateboard contest. Uh youth music. Um we're going to have uh the K9 show on Saturday. There is all kinds of stuff going on. In fact, everything that you normally find at the Burnsville Festival will happen this year with one exception. We'll have a few less firet trucks because of the construction. There won't be enough fire trucks with any water spraying in the area uh for this year, but that is about it. We actually made up for that by adding a 1,000 drone drone show at 9:25 on Saturday night. This will be a record for drone shows in the Twin Cities. And we're very thankful to Aerial Illuminations for uh bringing that show to the festival. So that'll happen right before fireworks. So, kind of a double bonus on Saturday night with uh drone show and fireworks. So, we hope to see everybody out there. It's free to get in, so don't don't bring any money to get in. Just buy some food and beverages while you're there. And we'll see everybody on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. >> Perfect. Thank you, Council Member Keley. And with that, we stand adjourned.
