Labor Day Weekend Invasion of the MNRF...

[Lady Spicer]

Wow... looks like the weekend is shaping up for lots of visitors! Sounds as though a mixer will need to be planned... wonder where all of you think a good spot to collect us on Friday/Saturday night would be?

And yes dear Lady Kathleen, we certainly know you by sight - as well as costume!  How could one miss so elegantly dressed a couple

Lion's Tap?  I love that place!

[Marietta Graziella]

Lion's Tap does have delicious burgers but that's all they have. You can have a cheese burger or a regular burger but it's still only burgers. A place with a more diverse menu might be a better choice.

Now... grabbing a bite after cleaning up at the booth... yes, we did that on Sunday.

And it was VERY yum!

If you went Chaska-ways, you could go to Tommy's Malt Shop (burgers, sandwiches, tasty milkshakes), or China Pagoda if you want tasty Chinese, two of my favorite stops when I'm out that way.

Quite a few of us are at the Best Western, right where Tommys is.

[Lady Spicer]

Hate to break it to all those staying at the Best Western... Tommy's is not there (according to my reservation source, and she called it the Mix).  I will confirm again just to be sure. Of course, Tommy's had no alcohol.

She did mention the Ruby Tuesdays and the Perkins in Chaska just a bit north on Hwy 41 and something called the Seasons restaurant at the Oakridge Hotel.

[Cofeeguru]

The Mix was a different building than the one I'm thinking of.  I'm thinking of the reastaurant attached to the hotel, the Mix was farther down on 41.  Maybe I have the name wrong, though.

[Lady Spicer]

Ha - you're right!  I confused my person as the Mix apparently was near the gazebo... Tommy's is still open.

Party at Tommy's!!! 7pm ish... What do you think?

[tcindie]

There are two malt shops within a couple blocks of eachother there in "downtown" Chaska.

The first one you come to, just after crossing the bridge on 41, on the left by a hotel (heading away from Fest toward Chaska) is just called "The Malt Shop" I think.. they have A-MAZ-ING malts and burgers.  (and really good sweet potato fries).  haven't been to the other one that's further down on the other side of the road.  I think the further one is Tommy's

[Cofeeguru]

Oooh, I'm liking this party idea. . .I think I'm in!

[Lady Spicer]

Actually the first one coming over the bridge on the left is part of the Best Western Hotel and that is Tommy's.  If the second one you're thinking of was further down towards the gazebo and was called "The Mix", a 50s type restaurant, I was told that one closed.

My family stays at the Best Western every weekend as part of our performing as part of cast, since that is my idea of "camping" and we love to grab a bite and take it back to the room to veg after a 11-12 hour day as part of the cast.

[Lady Spicer]

If any of you have a desire to do parade with us this day, let me know.  We're always looking for numbers to swell the court and courtiers!

Amy and I will be at the Mall of America Best Western.  Figure not the same as the rest.

Loking forward to seeing the Fair for the first time.
