Spring Lake Park to draw for mayor Monday

with Fox 9 Morning News. Welcome back and we have an important shout out on this Sunday morning. Happy 100th birthday to the Highway 55 Fort Snelling Mendota Bridge. Yes, right there, the bridge spanning over the Minnesota River was built from 1924 to 1926 and it opened to traffic on November 8th, 1926. So 100 years ago today, an event is being held at the Fort Snelling Visitor Center tomorrow beginning at 10. 10 a.m. Kind of makes me want to drive across and give it a little beep beep today. So happy birthday. All right. Once again, that's one of many things happening in our week ahead. Here's a look at some more. Spring Lake Park will be doing a blind draw to pick who is the city's next mayor. The race in Spring Lake Park is currently tied. Each candidate received 1,401 votes on Election Day, and that means on Monday, they'll basically be picking a name out of a hat. The city administrator says both candidates told him they'd request a recount if they lose. That recount wouldn't happen until November 17th. Tuesday, the beacon at Split Rock Lighthouse will once again be lit. To commemorate the sinking of the freighter SS Edmund Fitzgerald and all the other vessels lost on the Great Lakes. A ceremony reading the names of the lives lost will start at 4.15 with the beacon shining bright until 6 p.m. Wednesday, the Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs is hosting the state's official Veterans Day event in Duluth. Veterans, families, and community members are invited to thank and celebrate and honor all veterans. This official event will take place at the Duluth National Guard Training and Community Center. Friday, the 13th, the Dayton's Holiday Market returns for its sixth glorious year. More than 100 local makers will be selling various items while shoppers enjoy food and drinks. The markets will be open until Christmas. And that's some of what's happening in your week ahead.
