Five Things You Should Know Today: September 20
Look at it this way: At least yesterday was nice. And the weekend should be, too.
- There’s a 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms before 1 p.m. today, the National Weather Service says. After that, skies will be partly sunny, with a high near 69, and it’ll be windy, with westerly winds from 26 to 29 mph by the end of the day, gusting as high as 41 mph.
- Today’s the last Rosemount Farmers Market of the season, from 2 to 6 p.m. in the Rosemount Community Center parking lot at 13885 Robert Trail South. Last chance until late spring!
- The Rosemount City Council will meet at 7:30 tonight in Rosemount City Hall. Council members will recognize the Beyond the Yellow Ribbon program; the agenda also includes discussion of the final site and building plan for the Hawkins Inc. planned unit development. The public is welcome.
- , an organization that matches adults, couples and families with children in need of role models, will hold a new volunteer information session from 6 to 6:45 p.m. at the Wescott Library in Eagan. Find out about children who are waiting for mentors, learn about activities and benefits and get a look at the volunteer screening process.
- Interesting rock ‘n’ roll facts from this date in history: “Sugar Sugar” by the Archies hit No. 1 in 1969; the Doors’ Jim Morrison was found not guilty of “lewd behavior” in 1970; and police found cannabis growing on Paul and Linda McCartney’s farm in 1972.
