Eden Prairie residents looking for a spot to throw their next soiree just got a solid lead. The Riley-Jacques Barn is flinging open its doors for an open house on Saturday, April 20, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., according to a bulletin from the City of Eden Prairie. And for those who fancy a rustic backdrop for their gatherings, this might just be the ticket.

The event is a chance for folks to scope out the venue and envision their weddings, reunions, or whatever festivity they've got on the docket. Facility rental staff will be there to field questions, and if you're itching to secure a spot, they can help you through the rental process right then and there, the announcement detailed.

Only Eden Prairie residents or businesses can throw their hat in the ring for a reservation. They're pretty strict on this point, a non-resident can't get a local to book on their behalf. It's exclusivity, Eden Prairie style.

Interested parties can hit up the city's website to learn more about what the park facilities offer, or to throw their name in the hat for a rental. If you're an Eden Prairie resident, or own a business in the city, mark your calendars and check out the Riley-Jacques Barn on April 20.
