By Jan Tellmann Herald Staff Writer Fun is in the works for Saturday night when Forx Fest '97 puts on its sixth annual celebration downtown. There'll be street dances in two locations, food vendors, beer gardens and entertainment by Red River Valley Gymnastics. Music begins at 9 p.m. at both stages.
Admission is free.
Tim Mahoney of Tim Mahoney and the Meenies, festival headliners, says he and his group are serious about fun. The Minneapolis rockers will bring their energetic pop show to the street dance on North Third Street and Mahoney promises a good time. It's kind of in-between. Eventually they disbanded because his bandmates did not share his drive, Mahoney says. He was serious about a music career, however, and has been working to improve his writing skills.
