This holiday weekend will be full of patriotic fun and events on Saturday. 

The Jonathan Association homeowners group will kick off its Fourth of July Saturday morning with a 5K fun run/walk on Jonathan trails, with registration at 8 a.m. and the run kicking off at 8:30 a.m.

The Chaska Police Department released this statement pertaining to the emergency sirens that went off this morning:

"The outdoor warning sirens were activated in Chaska moments ago. This was a false alarm. The county is aware…

"The City of Chanhassen is in control of a remote device, which activates the sirens; indeed, the sirens were activated without a legitimate cause. Chanhassen wrongly activated the warning sirens for the cities of Chaska, Victoria, and Watertown. Perplexingly the sirens did not sound in Chanhassen.

What would I do if I wanted to open a restaurant in downtown Chaska?

First, I’d do some research. A long time ago, I learned that selling the same thing as the next guy would only be an uphill battle.

Computer science, rocketry, even robots – there’s no question about it, this isn’t your grandma’s 4-H.

And while members of the Sugar City 4-H in Chaska are markedly different from their early predecessors, this year they will pay homage to those that came before them.

Chaska’s 4-Hers are looking for memories and memorabilia from the club’s 75-year history. They are hoping to put together a scrapbook and a short film with the materials in order to celebrate the group’s past.

A project to turn the C.P. Klein mansion on the corner of Fourth and Walnut streets into a fine dining restaurant is back on, after some successful brainstorming to make the financing work.

Developers Norm and Jan Kraus gave the council an update at its meeting Monday night. Things looked bleak for the restaurant recently with financing problems that were forcing the city to begin considering other options for the historic building’s reuse.

There are no bullet holes left as proof that notorious gangster John Dillinger once inhabited Apartment 303 at the Lincoln Court Apartments in St. Paul.

Seventy-five years after his 12-day stint at the corner of Lexington Parkway and Lincoln Avenue, there is only the occasional stop, by local gangster tours, to serve as a reminder that the quiet building in the tree-lined neighborhood was once the site of an infamous shootout between Dillinger and the FBI. 

Have you ever wanted to be in the studio audience to hear the words: “Come on down. You’re the next contestant on the Price is Right?”

Well, come Saturday, Aug. 1, people will have that chance as “The Price is Right” will conduct a national contestant search for the first time in the show’s 38-year history at Mystic Lake Casino, 2400 Mystic Lake Blvd, Prior Lake.

Producers for CBS’ popular daytime television game show will interview contestant hopefuls in major U.S. markets.
