It's located at the Hilton hotel in Minneapolis/Bloomington: 3900 American Blvd. http://mnstf.org/decongestant5/ Richard Tatge hosts a weekly GAME PARTY at Dream Park! 6:30 to late every Friday evening (excluding conventions). Board, card, and hobby games in splendid profusion. Huge collection, but feel free to bring your own. Covid vaccination required; masks may be required depending on conditions. Munchies provided. 4002 Pillsbury Ave S., Minneapolis, MN 55409. Phone: (612) 827-3228. Richard's house is also where we'll be hosting the Minn-STF Halloween meeting! It'll be October 29th, from 4 PM to 11 PM. This is the official Minnstf Halloween Party and Minnstf meeting. As much of the party as possible will be outside, weather permitting, with a fire circle on the back patio. Maybe music if people bring their instruments and voices. Mask at your own discretion; masks will not be required anywhere. It's the big gold house on the corner of 40th and Pillsbury.
