june 12 | kickoff night

We were thrilled to kick off the 3rd Annual Summer Nights series featuring Nicholas David of The Voice. Over 200 enjoyed a free meal of fried chicken, sides, and an icy snow cone from the Frost Factory truck while connecting with others from the community. The playground was hopping and many played yard games. Thanks for coming out!

june 19 | variety show

Talented musicians, singers, and singing groups from our community shared their gifts with us – 22 performers, ages 7 to 84! We ate Walking Tacos and Root Beer Floats. Many played games and enjoyed the playground. It was a beautiful night for the 237 people to gather together!

june 26 | trivia + chicken

Trivia Mafia was here in our parking lot along with Wingman Matt’s Food Truck. Trivia was a lot of fun and competition was tight; the winners happily walked away with a box of candy bars! Chicken was delicious and there was plenty to go around for the 150 in attendance. Come check us out some time.

What a blast! The dunk tank, water balloon battles, inflatable water slide, plus a massive sprinkler thanks to a Long Lake Fire Truck hose. We ate pizza, watermelon, veggies, and popsicles for dessert. Thanks for coming out!

We enjoyed a night of  music by Salem Lutheran Church’s talented Folk Band as well as enjoying a tasty meal! We served Salem’s famous meatballs & mashed potatoes from their State Fair Dining hall along with a yummy brownie/ice cream bar. (Salem is Trinity’s partner church in North Minneapolis.)

july 31 | annual car show

The weather put a bit of a damper on our 3rd Annual Car Show but 150 folks still turned out to take in the vehicles that were here. Attendees voted for their favorite cars and three prizes were awarded. We enjoyed hotdogs/brats and conversation, while the kids raced stomp cars and painted cars. Thanks for braving the conditions and joining us for a very special summer night.

august 14 | end-of-summer bash

The weather forecast was not what we hoped so the event was moved indoors. We ate delicious Red Rover Wood-fired Pizza, threw axes (it was family-friendly and inflatable), and the skies cleared just in time for us to participate in fun color war games. Thanks so much for coming out; it was an incredible summer!
