Memorial services for Sen. Linda Scheid, DFL-Brooklyn Park, will be held on Tuesday, June 28 at the Brooklyn Park Community Activity Center from 4-8 p.m.
Scheid's son, Scott Scheid, says the service is open to the public and there will be food and beverage provided by Surly Brewing. Scheid was the author of the the so-called Surly bill that allowed breweries to sell their own beer at tap rooms. Governor Dayton signed the bill into law last month.
Scheid passed away yesterday afternoon after a six-year battle with ovarian cancer. She was 68.
