Canterbury Park's
Latest Expansion Complete

SHAKOPEE, MN - The Canterbury Park "Paddock Pavilion", a 17,400 square-foot fully heated - moveable structure will officially open Thursday November 16 as part of the 11th annual Fall Festival "An Arts and Crafts Affair" at Canterbury Park.

The 60' X 290', fully heated structure can accommodate a litany of events, including trade shows, large corporate outings, and small to mid-size conventions. Specifically, the facility can hold up to 90 - 8' X 10' trade show booths, 500 people at a sit-down gathering, or up to 800 in a cocktail party setting.

"Canterbury Park is now truly in the event business year round,'' according to Special Events Manager Mary Pat Monson, "This new structure will provide a unique setting for trade shows, private parties, and corporate gatherings not associated with our racing and card club facilities.''

The Paddock Pavilion will also serve as an extended entryway to the Canterbury Park facility, providing a respite from the elements during the racing off-season. "The winter months are busy with conventions, consumer shows, and our world famous snowmobile races attended by thousands of people. In the summertime the walk from the front gate to the main entrance is a stroll in the park. In winter, it used to get a little cold,'' said Monson, "not anymore.''

Shortly before the live-racing season begins in May, the structure will be moved into the Shire Square area to provide a private gathering site for groups to enjoy a day of horse racing.

Forever Tango

The internationally acclaimed dance spectacle Forever Tango will perform at Aladdin Resort Casino's Aladdin Theater November 21, 23-25.

The show features a world-renowned, all-Argentine cast which brings an absolutely unique excitement and passion to the stage. The production traces, through music, dance, and dramatic vignettes, the Tango's colorful, often checkered history, from its beginnings in turn-of-the-century Buenos Aires bordellos to its acceptance into high society. Sensuous and sophisticated, the tango inhabits a world where everything can be said with the flick of a leg, the tug of a hand, the tap of a foot, and the arch of an eyebrow.
