Buckle up, Brooklynites, there's plenty brewing in your neighborhood. First off, the Zanewood Recreation Center is tossing a lifeline to the community with the "Good in the Hood Food Distribution" taking place March 12, offering up to a hefty 30 pounds of food per person—and that's not small potatoes. Do you want in? Just show up from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. at 7100 Zane Ave N, and get yourself a piece of the action, no sign-up is needed, though it's a first-come, first-serve deal, according to the City of Brooklyn Park.
On the grower's side of things, any vendors itching to hawk their produce and crafts can apply to join the Brooklyn Park Farmers Market. Applications are due by March 26, with a start date of July 10. Meanwhile, with summer on the horizon, Brooklyn Park's summer camps are open for registration—with scholarship opportunities no less. Interested parties can register in person, over the phone, or online, so no excuses folks, get moving.
Let's not forget the grown-ups. The "Adults on the Move Guide" is fresh off the presses, featuring a slew of upcoming events, including a trip to St Cloud for a theatrical take on the '80s hit "Footloose" on April 14. Those intimidated by Medicare can breathe easy because educational webinars are lined up—March 13 and April 9 and 10, to be precise-taking some of the mysteries out of the mix, as reported by the City of Brooklyn Park.
Women's History Month is picking up steam with a celebration event in partnership with North Hennepin Community College on March 13, boasting speakers, free grub, and a fashion show. And for those keen on giving back? The communities rallying together for a service project—Period Kits MN—aimed at making 200 kits stuffed with menstrual products for those in need. Feel generous? Drop donations off at the Community Activity Center and thank me later.
In the family-friendly department, free movie nights are on at the Community Activity Center with popcorn included. Grab a blanket, and a pal, and park your keister on March 15 for "Back to the Future" and on March 29 for "Trolls: Band Together".
