The DFL is planning its annual fundraising picnic.
DFL Senate District 56 is planning for its annual August fundraising picnic, and it looks like this year it will be bigger than ever. DFL District 56 chair, Lawrence Sandoval, is working with the District 58 chair, Steve Quist to combine picnics this year into a blowout event at Lac Lavonne Park on the border of Burnsville and Lakeville.
