Chisago City would love nothing more than to have you and your family come enjoy Ki Chi Saga Days. One of the biggest town celebrations in the county, Ki Chi Saga Days has something for everyone.  The event begins today (Thursday) with city wide garage sales which you can find on page 19.  At 6pm, all are invited to the Uncommon Loon for a night of Lucha Libre all-star wrestling.  You can get tickets at the door or by calling 651-257-4162.

Friday the city wide garage sales continue.  Frankie’s will once again host the very popular pro bass tournament which will be on the Center and Green lakes.   The farmers market will feature live music beginning at 2pm  with Aubrey Gieske and at 4pm, Shelby Marshall will take the stage.  There will also be kids’ games and activities.

Saturday begins with a pickleball tournament at 8am at the courts in Chuckie Lundquist Park.  You can pre register  by calling Community Ed at 651-213-2600.  The food/craft/art fair opens in Moberg Park at 10am (yes, they do have kettlecorn).  Also at 10am, the hunt begins for Moberg’s missing bike horn.  Clues are posted hourly on the City Hall window.

At Paradise Park, kids 12 and under are invited to bring their poles to Frankie’s kids fishing tournament that runs from 10-11am.  They do ask that you pre-register at Frankie’s so they know how many prizes to bring to the park.

At 10am back in Moberg Park there’s a Gordon Lightfoot tribute band. The Neighberz Band takes the stage next at 11:30am.  

At Chuckie Lundquist Park there is a skateboard competition that begins at 11am.

There will be a waterski show at Paradise Park from 5-6pm.  with fireworks at dusk also based at Paradise Park.

Sunday there is a dedication of a tree and bench in recognition of the late mayor of Chisago City Bob Gustafson at 11am,  in Surfland Park.

Me and Todd and Jonah and the Whales will play back at Moberg Park.  

Sunday at 2pm, the grand day parade makes its way north,  on Old Towne Road starting at the Primary School.  Get your seat early.

The jam packed weekend finishes with the annual pie eating contest in the Moberg Park pavilion.

A lot of info I know but try to come to some of the events, you will be glad you did.

Thanks to some very (ahem) good friends of mine, I was informed that when I was talking about our 30th wedding anniversary, I spelled my wife’s name wrong.  When I pointed it out to my wife, she replied that she didn’t even notice...huh that’s odd.
