The Farmington Feed

Hey, Farmington. It's Caryn here bringing you the latest with the Feed in Five. The annual National Night Out event is Tuesday, August 5. Police and fire are excited to visit neighborhood celebrations again. To receive a visit from one or both of the departments, you must request your visit from police or fire at FarmingtonMN.gov/NNO request.

Get more information on the annual event at natw.org. This year, we'll continue the tradition of collecting items for the Farmington Food Shelf. Let's see how many pounds of donations we can get. Find the food shelf's most needed food, personal care, and cleaning items at FarmingtonMN.gov/FoodShelf. Ready for the last adventures of summer?

Join us for the new adventure camp too. Monday through Thursday, August 11-14 we'll head to Hyland Park and Bloomington Aquatics Center, Grand Slam in Skateville, Nickelodeon Works, and Water Parks of Minnesota.
