Edina, Minn., June 7, 2018 – The June Walk With the Mayor is scheduled for 6:30-7:30 p.m. Thursday, June

building in Bredesen Park a few minutes before the start of the walk at 6:30 p.m.
Participating in the Walk with the Mayor gives community members a chance to voice concerns, share
opinions and thoughts as well as just talk with Mayor Jim Hovland while getting to know the city a little bit
better. No prior registration is required to attend Walk With the Mayor; simply show up at the designated
meeting time to walk and talk with Mayor Hovland.
“For the summer months of June, July and August, we will do the Walks during the week so folks can both
participate in the Walk and also not miss any weekend plans. We hope community members will be able to
come out to walk and talk,” said Hovland. “I always enjoy being able to get to know residents a little more
and discuss current events and concerns that are on our residents’ minds.”
Summer walks will be held during the week to accommodate busy weekend schedules. Beginning in
September, the walk will again be held on Saturdays. Upcoming Walk With the Mayor events include:
• 6:30-7:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 18, Centennial Lakes Park, Hughes Pavilion
• 6:30-7:30 p.m. Wednesday Aug. 15, Fred Richards Park, Fred Richards Clubhouse
Participants should wear comfortable walking shoes and dress for the weather. In the event of rain, the walk
will be held at Southdale Center; participants should meet near the Caribou Coffee in the center court. For
