Mark your calendars, folks! This coming Monday, October 7, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., the City of Wayzata is throwing open the doors to City Hall for an event that’s sure to ignite community spirit. The Wayzata Showcase, formerly known as Public Safety Day, will feature a little bit of everything—from thrilling fire demonstrations to hot dogs on the grill.
The event will take place right outside City Hall, located at 600 Rice Street E, and promises something for everyone and is hosted by the Wayzata Police and Fire Departments. Whether you’re looking to learn about fire safety or just want to see the kids’ faces light up with some bounce house fun, you won’t be disappointed. In fact, the whole family can get in on the action with face painting, K9 demonstrations, and of course, a chance to get up close with the fire trucks, squad cars, and public works equipment at the always-popular “Touch-a-Truck” display.
Wayzata Fire Chief Kevin Klapprich is especially excited about this year’s showcase, saying the goal is to bring neighbors together while also educating the community about fire safety.
Before the excitement kicks off, Mayor Johanna Mouton will deliver a brief message to attendees, setting the tone for the evening and highlighting the importance of public safety in Wayzata.
So, bring the kids, grab a bite, and check out the firefighters in action as they put on a fire demonstration that’s sure to be a hit. It’s not just an event; it’s a way for the city to come together, meet the public safety teams, and celebrate what makes Wayzata such a special place.
Whether you’re a longtime resident or new to the area, the Wayzata Showcase is a can’t-miss opportunity to connect with your neighbors and learn more about how the city works to protect and serve its community.
We’ll see you there!
