Shannon’s
Campaign cookout
Saturday, May 9
1:00–4:00 pm
Powderhorn Park
Shannon Gibney is running for Minneapolis School Board in District 3! We are going to kick off her campaign in style at Powderhorn Park on Saturday May 9 from 1–4 pm. Come celebrate her endorsements, experience the great work of local writers and artists, and take part in family fun at the official Campaign Cookout!
This event is for everyone—bring your family! We’ll have food, activities…and just a little bit of speaking from some amazing Minneapolis leaders. The organized program will run from 1:30–2:30 pm, and you’ll be free to explore the park and connect with neighbors the rest of the time. Check out below for more info on what we’ll have happening.
Don’t forget to contribute to the campaign! Thank you for your support; we can't wait to see you there!
