Five Things You Should Know Today: August 22
Enjoy the weather today, because more rain is in store tonight.
- Today will be a picture-perfect summer day, according to the National Weather Service: a high near 81 and calm winds becoming light and southerly. The story will be different tonight, with a 60 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms and the possibility of a quarter-of-an-inch of rain, mainly after 1 a.m.
- The Rosemount Parks and Recreation Commission meets at 7 tonight in Rosemount City Hall. On the agenda: further discussion of the UMore ball fields, signs at Carroll’s Woods and advertising at recreation facilities. The public is welcome to attend.
- Today’s the day that class lists will be posted at Rosemount Elementary School. Classroom assignment letters for students at Parkview Elementary School will arrive in mailboxes today, too.
- The Minnesota State Fair opens on Thursday, so you’ve got just three more days to get your advance tickets, along with a Blue Ribbon Bargain Book and discounted ride tickets, at Twin Cities Cub Foods locations – including Rosemount. Advance admission is $9, compared to $12 at the gate for adults and $10 for seniors and children ages 5 through 12. You can save enough on a ticket to buy a bag of mini-doughnuts.
- Today is National Be an Angel Day, so be angelic in whatever way you choose. (Pick up someone else’s trash, let someone in front of you in traffic, hold a door open for someone at the post office. It’s easy.)
