The Waconia fire department is cooking breakfast again! Pancakes, sausage and french toast means there is something for every one. I’m getting hungry just thinking about it. 🙂

All summer, pained sailboat statues have decorated the town. However, your changes to see them are going fast.
On September 27th, the sailboats will be auctioned off at the Waconia Lakeside Ballroom at 8pm.
The boats are a part of Sailboat Regatta which has had about 25 boats decorating the town all summer.
If you still want to catch a few boats before they disappear, you better get around town fast. You only have a few short days!

The Lake Waconia Band Festival is marching into town on June 16th. The parade starts at 6pm and marches down Main Street in downtown Waconia. No floats, no clowns nothing but marching band after marching band.
I’m not sure why this is so big, but it really is. Tons of people and dozens of bands show up rain or shine. If you haven’t been to it before, it’s worth checking out. That is, unless you dislike marching bands. 🙂
If you plan to travel anywhere downtown on the 16th, be aware that I’ll be crowded and driving won’t be easy. If you live anywhere near downtown, you’ll get to hear the music if you want to or not. 🙂
