DJ Scotty will be spinning tunes from 4-8 leading up to the Street Dance with the band UPSURGE from 8pm until midnight.  

Come hungry, there will be food and drinks available until midnight. The Rice Legion will be selling brats and burgers from 11am-6pm or until they sell out, so you had better make sure you get there early to get yours.  

The 2nd Annual Rice Days Market will be set up in the large grass area around the Water Tower in Rice.  

And of course, there will be vendors in the streets all day. There are still slots open to set up at Rice Days, email ricewt@mnwt.org for details.  

Rice Days is organized by The Rice Women of Today, and there is still a need for monetary donations to help cover the costs of this event. They are trying to raise $10,000.

No matter what town or city you live in, events like this coming up in Rice are normally enjoyable and who knows who you will meet there or what you’ll find to buy.
