The 2009 I Love NE Mpls Festival would like to invite you to build a car and enter the RACE at the 1st ever
Push Cart Derby
  
Sponsored by The Waite Park Community Council.
Waite Park, which is located at 1800 34th Avenue, in Northeast Minneapolis.
Why? To help celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Northeast Parade & Father's Day! There will be hot dogs, chips, pop and Culver's delicious custard for you to buy lunch for "Dear Old Dad," or anyone else who will be attending the Derby! Who can participate? Anyone! Families, business owners and neighborhood groups.
This would be a great event to have churches and community councils issue a friendly challenge of participation. There will be two award categories for the Push Cart Derby. The "Pram" division includes children under the age of 5.
Mommies and/or Daddies are mandatory. The Art Cart division includes teams of at least three people. Both divisions will be judged for their artistic efforts, & the ability to safely cross the finish line.
Northeast artist, Judy Westergard, will be on hand to judge the participants for their creativity.
