15th Annual Great River Gathering Celebrating Saint Paul on the Mississippi Formerly known as the Millard Fillmore Dinner presented by:
For fourteen years we’ve gathered together on a great river for the Millard Fillmore Dinner. Please join us again this year for Saint Paul’s annual “town dinner” with a new name that says it all.
About the Dinner For fourteen years, our community’s best and brightest have gathered for the annual Millard Fillmore Dinner, now known as the Great River Gathering. Policy makers, corporate leaders, entrepreneurs, environmentalists, elected officials, philanthropists, artists and citizens from all walks of life come together to celebrate the ecological, economic and historic significance of the Mississippi River. No other event brings together such an influential and diverse group of civic leaders and community members – all deeply committed to the ongoing renaissance of Saint Paul and the Mississippi River valley.
Attendance doubled every year for the first four years – from 125 in 1995 to 1,000 in 1998. Today, a sell-out crowd of more than 1,200 people consistently attends each year. Sponsors play a critical role in making the signature event possible – and in offsetting ticket pricing to ensure full community participation. To become a sponsor, contact Caroline Mehlhop at 651.293.6863 or mehlhop@riverfrontcorporation.com The RiverWork Exhibit For the seventh year in a row, the Great River Gathering will also host the RiverWork Exhibit, featuring 50 organizations who work to restore and revitalize the river valley – and make Saint Paul a better place to live, work and play. To become a RiverWork exhibitor, call Jean Rieck at 651.293.6869 or rieck@riverfrontcorporation.com.
