📢 TALK OF THE TOWN

Plymouth's Rolling Out the Red Carpet (and Breakfast Sandwiches) for Veterans

Mark your calendars, Plymouth vets – the city's throwing you a breakfast party, and you don't even have to get out of your car.

The Deal: Free drive-thru breakfast on Thursday, Nov. 6, from 9:30-11 a.m. at the Plymouth Veterans Memorial (3400 Plymouth Blvd). We're talking breakfast sandwich, fresh fruit, Caribou coffee, and a little thank-you gift to boot.

The Catch: You've got to live in Plymouth and register by Oct. 30. Want to bring your non-veteran spouse/friend/neighbor? That'll be $12 (limit one guest per veteran – sorry, can't bring the whole block).

How It Works: Drive through City Hall's parking lot, cruise over to the Veterans Memorial, and collect your goodies without leaving your driver's seat. It's like the world's most wholesome drive-thru experience.

Bottom Line: Plymouth knows how to say thank you properly – with good coffee and zero parking hassles.

Register online or call Parks & Rec at 763-509-5200. Don't sleep on this one.

Plymouth's Throwing One Last Farmers Market Party Before Winter Hibernation

Consider this your official warning: Plymouth's about to shut down a whole street for vegetables, and honestly, we're here for it.

The Scoop: Fall Farmers Market on the Boulevard hits Wednesday, Oct. 8 from 2-6 p.m. on Plymouth Boulevard (between 35th and 36th). Think 25 local vendors slinging everything from fresh apples to handcrafted candles – basically, your last chance to pretend you're living that wholesome farm-to-table life before diving headfirst into pumpkin spice season.

Money Talk: Bring cash (some vendors take cards, but don't risk it). SNAP users can grab tokens at the City booth to spend with participating vendors – because good food shouldn't be a luxury.

The Fine Print: Leave Fido at home unless they're a working service dog. Hand sanitizer stations are scattered around because we're still civilized people who wash our hands after touching tomatoes.

Traffic Alert: Plymouth Boulevard goes car-free from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. for setup/breakdown, but the 36th Avenue roundabout stays open. Parking? Hit up City Hall, the Ice Center, or street spots north of 36th and south of 35th.

Bottom Line: One afternoon, 25 vendors, zero excuses not to stock up on local goods before the snow flies.

Plymouth Wants Your Input on Not Melting the Planet (And They're Actually Serious About It)

Plymouth's cooking up a 10-year plan to tackle climate change, and they need regular humans (yes, you) to help figure out what actually makes sense for our little corner of Minnesota.

The Gig: Join Plymouth's Community Steering Committee and help shape the city's Climate Action and Resiliency Plan. Think of it as being a climate advisor, but with way less pressure and definitely more reasonable meeting schedules.

What You'll Do: Review data from surveys, community sessions, and assessments, then use your actual lived experience to help prioritize what Plymouth should tackle first. We're talking transportation, energy, waste management, green spaces – basically everything that touches daily life here.

The Commitment: Monthly meetings from November 2025 to June 2026. That's 8 meetings to help plan the next decade of environmental action. Not bad math.

Who Can Apply: Anyone 14+ who lives, works, studies, worships, or volunteers in Plymouth. Seriously, they cast a wide net – if you exist in Plymouth's orbit, you qualify.

The Backstory: Minnesota Pollution Control Agency kicked in a grant to fund nearly half this effort, and Plymouth's working with consultant paleBLUEdot to crunch the baseline numbers. Translation: this isn't just feel-good planning – there's actual money and expertise behind it.

Bottom Line: Climate action usually happens to communities. Plymouth's asking what should happen for this one.

Apply at plymouthmn.gov/climateplan by Oct. 20. Future generations will thank you.

Plymouth's Halloween Party Just Got an Upgrade (And It's Free)

Forget knocking on doors for fun-size Snickers – Plymouth's throwing the ultimate Halloween bash at Parkers Lake, and it's got everything except the sketchy house with no porch light.

The Scene: Halloween at the Lake hits Friday, Oct. 24 from 5-8 p.m. at Parkers Lake Playfield (15500 County Road 6). Think carnival meets costume party meets "let's exhaust the kids before bedtime."

What's Happening: Inflatables for bouncing, pumpkin bowling (because regular bowling is for January), Halloween bingo, dance parties, and a sensory station for hands-on chaos. Plus treat stations – though "while supplies last" means show up early or risk disappointment.

The Cool Part: Touch-a-truck action featuring Plymouth's finest public safety vehicles. Your kids can climb on fire trucks and police cars without anyone getting arrested – peak parenting win.

The Real MVP Move: Parks & Rec, Police, and Fire departments are all pitching in. When three city departments collaborate on your Halloween party, you know it's going to be good.

What to Bring: Costumes (obviously), money for food trucks, and maybe a wagon for tired tiny trick-or-treaters.

Bottom Line: Free community Halloween party with inflatables, emergency vehicles, and pumpkin bowling. October just got a whole lot better.

Parking and shuttle details coming soon – because even Halloween parties need logistics.
