There is fun for everyone at Slice of Shoreview Parade participants pass out candy to kids at the Slice of Shoreview parade. Hundreds of area residents are expected to attend this year’s Slice of Shoreview festival July 26-28, at Island Lake Park. Activities include the annual parade, live music, a fireworks show, Running of the Melon Balls, classic car show, a church service and more. See what’s happening and new this year in the special section of the Shoreview Press on pages 9-16.
The Overflow Community Thrift Store now occupies a larger space in the Shoreview Village Mall thanks to growing support and donations. The nonprofit first opened its doors late 2020 and since then, the store’s success has brought its founders Cathy Oestreich and Cinthia Velasquez to expand their walls in the Shoreview Village Mall. The thrift store opened its door in 2020 and originated with two purposes in mind, according to co-founder Cinthia Oestreich. SEE THRIFT STORE EXPANDS, PAGE 2
