ONLINE FUNDRAISING EVENT: A family game of cards around the Wise family kitchen table in Grow was cut short in a moment when gunfire exploded through the porch window on May 27, 1900. The daughters, Eliza and Martha, writing letters in the front parlor, ran to fetch help from the neighbors, while their parents and two brothers lay injured and dying.
This tour of unique Fridley neighborhoods is brought to you by the Fridley Historical Society, City of Fridley, and the Anoka County Historical Society (ACHS), but it is only through the generosity of homeowners in the neighborhood that this event is possible.
You’ve done it with chili, now do it with Jello-O! No family gathering in the Midwest is complete without fruit, fluff, and that magical jiggle. Come taste the best Jell-O salads, desserts, and dishes as they compete for a chance to win prizes for:
Best in Fluff
Best Fruit Suspension

Best Photo Entry (the older the better)
We will have games like Jiggler toss and Jell-O Jeopardy as well as light refreshments to cut the sweet. With your admission, you’ll receive three tickets for food, activities, or naked Jell-O (thumb) wrestling! Additional tickets can be purchased during the event.
