Mark your calendars now for the Downtown Dash and Dine in Coon Rapids on Saturday, Sept. 4. This will be a first annual fundraiser for Main Street Coon Rapids and will be held at the Legion Hall on Main Street. The fun begins at the 1:30 registration and 2 p.m. shotgun start for what is being touted as the not your average scavenger hunt where teams of four to eight participate in an Amazing Race style of activity with a Coon Rapids vibe. All participants must be 18 or over and prizes will be awarded. The cost is $75 per team and included the scavenger hunt, dinner and entertainment. The Legion bar will open at 3:30 p.m. and a dinner of Arcadia’s prime pork sandwiches, loaded baked potatoes, coleslaw, mac-n-cheese and desserts from local bakers will be served beginning at 5:30 p.m. The evening’s entertainment will be Felix & Fingers dueling pianos at 6 p.m. Registrations and reservations are due by Aug. 20 and tickets can be picked up at the Main Street Coon Rapids Office during normal business hours. A limited number of tickets will be sold. Those with questions can call the office at 712-999-4769.
