As hunters go out to find that 30 point buck, we all need to be aware of the deer. As they try and escape hunters, they may dart across the road. So, everyone needs to be extra careful and make sure to keep your eyes open for deer in the next few weeks.
Good luck to all the hunters, may the deer not outsmart you. 😉
Nickle Dickle Day is fast approaching. This year it takes place on September 16, 2006 and it’s a great outing for everybody.
There are antique cars, trucks and tractors, plenty of craft vendors, kids activities, food and even a 5k & 10k run for that athlete in you.
I went last year and there was quite a bit. More antique cars/trucks than I’d seen before and enough craft vendors that I found my mom a great birthday present. I also got mini doughnuts for myself. 😉
Head to downtown Waconia and City Square Park to catch all of the action.
Check out the official Nickel Dickle Day website for more information.

It’s true, the Waconia July 4th Fireworks have moved, but not far enough to worry about.
Instead of being shot of from Coney Island, they’ll be shot off on the southeast shore of the lake.
Have no fear, they’ll still look great from on the lake, Cedar Point Park or wherever you usually sit.
The show begins at dusk so get ready! 😀
About 550 people were expected for the Lake Waconia Triathlon on June 25th. They swam a half mile in Lake Waconia and then ran and biked though parts of town.
If you were a participant of the Lake Waconia Triathlon today I hope you had fun and enjoyed yourself. I don’t have the drive to do all that work, but I respect those that do. 🙂
