HALLOWEEN BONFIRE

   Join us for a ghostly good time at the annual City Sponsored Halloween Bonfire on Friday, October 31, 2008 from 7-9 p.m. The bonfire will be held on the undeveloped portion of land behind the Mendota Plaza Shopping Center property.  The Volunteer Fire Department has offered to carry on the tradition and will again coordinate and run this year’s event.  The bonfire is conducted to provide a safe and enjoyable family alternative to trick or treating.  Costumes are not necessary.  Hot dogs, soda and other goodies are free. Join us for a fun time at the bonfire.
   Residents of Mendota Heights are allowed to deposit brush no larger than 4” in diameter as fuel for the fire. In the past, the City has had problems with illegal dumping at the site which causes the City a great deal of money to clean-up. In order to prevent illegal dumping, the City will be limiting the hours of operation from 8 AM - 7 PM from (dates to be announced). Once the area is filled, it will be fenced in and no further dumping will be allowed. Please remember that unauthorized dumping is a misdemeanor with a fine of up to $1,000.
