On the article Q&A: The Costs of Keeping Fridley 49er Days Free

ReplyFor my family, this weekend event has always been about our bringing our hometown community and friends and family together to celebrate each other and our "friendly" City. It saddens me to hear some people are complaining that things are not measuring up to their expectations considering all the effort that volunteers contribute to make the annual 49er Days happen.
I feel we are also very lucky to have the luxury of the Midway at the State Fair, ValleyFair, and even Nickelodeon Universe to be able to enjoy rides year round. It sounds like there are some fun new alternative inflatables and games this year, and hoping that people check it out before they make commentary on what is perceived to be lacking by not having a costly metal carnival at 49er Days. There is also opportunity for viewing many amazing fireworks displays throughout the summer in closely surrounding metro areas, so just really not feeling we are being terribly put out. The Calendar of Events is still noteworthy, especially for a local celebration with a limited budget.
I commend the Parks and Rec Dept. for another awesome affordable family friendly event they have planned, and thank them for all the hard work that they and volunteers do to raise money and all the help during 49er Days. I hope anyone who has ever enjoyed this event will express your appreciation too!

Reply'Our world and our lives have become increasingly interdependent, so when our neighbour is harmed, it affects us too. Therefore we have to abandon outdated notions of “them” and “us” and think of our world much more in terms of a great “US”, a greater human family.' ~ Dalai Lama

ReplyBoth the Steak Burger and the Gyro Burger at River Grill should be on the list. Their juicy and big Steak Burgers are made-to-order flamed over an open grill. Their freshly carved Gyro meat is so delicious on a grilled bun with fixin's, and is also a great choice for a more non-traditional burger. The prices at RG are really amazing too.
