Ground Round Coming to Waconia

Ground Round LogoYesterday the word was Champps, today it’s Ground Round.

I don’t know if they switched restaurants, or if we are getting both, but I have been able to confirm that the city has approved the sight plans for Ground Round over by the AmericInn.

No idea when construction would start or when it’d open.

It’s Nickle Dickel Day Today

Come to downtown Waconia and enjoy food, shopping, classic car show, and so much more.

Pick your own pumpkins at Dimler Farms

online poker newsмека мебелPumpkin FarmLocated on the corner of highway 7 and 25 is Dimler’s pumpkin patch.

They have hundreds of pumpkins that you can choose from.

Shop the already picked pumpkins and pay by the pound, or pick your own and pay $4 a pumpkin or 3 for $11.

If you pick your own, you can choose any pumpkin, any size, any shape as long as it’s still on the vine. And the selection is massive!

They also have other fall decorations like gourds, corn, and mini-pumpkins.

It’s fun and picking your own pumpkins is a great family activity!
