First Aid East: 1424 Cosgrove St., Falcon Heights, MN 55108
Emergency wristband available for young children / vulnerable adults
Stop by the First Aid Station on Cosgrove just south of Randall or the Information Booth on the corner of Underwood and Dan Patch and get your young child / vulnerable adult an emergency wristband to wear while attending Back to the Fifties! These wristbands allow an individual to print emergency contact information on the band just in case this individual gets separated from their family & friends.
It is also a good idea to take a picture with your cell phone of that person so you can give an accurate description of what they are wearing that day. If that individual does go missing you can share that picture to staff / Police. Once that person is found that wristband will give staff / Police a contact number to get them reunited with family quickly so you can continue to enjoy the greatest event of the year!!

Did you leave your electric fan on while you were walking around the fairgrounds all day and now it’ s getting dark and your street rod won’ t start to get you home? That one problem tire leaked down to the point you aren’ t sure you can make it to the gas station to air it up? Literally cruised the fairgrounds until a wheel fell off? The MSRA Start Cart as well as the Michigan Rod Repair Shop has you covered!
The MSRA Start Cart is a group of volunteers to aid in getting you a jump start, gas, air, or tools if needed free of charge. They are your on-site resource for getting you back to enjoying the weekend. For assistance either keep an eye out for them in their golf cart or locate any staff member to contact for them to meet you.
Are you having bigger problems than a dead battery? The Michigan Rod Repair Shop is here to help! Since 1972, this group of volunteers travels the country to large events with their repair trailer equipped to handle repairs both large and small to help make your vehicle safe for travel. To locate them along with their operation hours please consult the map in your visitor guide.
Both the MSRA Start Cart and the Michigan Rod Repair Shop work with NAPA Auto Parts, to assist in getting you any needed parts delivered right to the fairgrounds. They also work with on-site vendors to get any necessary repair components to you to get your vehicle back to cruising and enjoying the weekend!
