Valleyfair s Grand Carnivale kicked off Saturday, bringing summertime food and fun to Shakopee amid sweltering temperatures.
Patrons made their way to the park regardless of the heat, but staying cool was at the top of everyone s list. We did not plan for extreme heat, but, you know, we re Valleyfair, so we re prepared for everything,” Valleyfair spokeswoman Kelsey Megard said.
Valleyfair amusement park was crawling with people, and patrons were riding a heat wave. The temperature was 90 degrees when the gates opened.
“We ve got the wave. We ve got the Soak Cannon and Soak City, so if you need to cool off before the parade, we ve got options for you,” Megard said.
