How would you like to spend a hot summer day, in a parking lot?

That's what two environmental groups say could happen if Congress doesn't stick up for Minnesota lakes.

Members of Environment Minnesota and Clean Water Action Minnesota held a concrete beach party today in St. Paul.

This week the U.S. House will vote on a bill that environmentalists say would put our state's waterways and drinking water at risk.

Concrete party goers also thanked Congresswoman Betty Mccollum today for standing up for clean water. They held their party in the parking lot of her office.
