Joke tellers were out for blood, or at least for lutefisk, as they faced off in the Nordic Heritage Club’s second annual Ole & Lena last Friday night. (For those new to Minnesota, Ole and Lena jokes are a staple among the Scandinavian population.)

About 25 people attended the event, held at Victoria City Hall, where the club meets the second Friday of the month. Even a joke-off between the animated Ross Hanson and Galen Tongen (members of the Waconia Sons of Norway Lodge) couldn’t settle who won, so first place was declared a tie.

Approximately 283 volunteers converged on eight sites throughout Chaska on May 9 for the annual Christmas in May. During the day-long event volunteers rehabilitated seven homes of community members who face physical or financial restraints. Volunteers also painted the building that houses the non-profit Love INC, located off of Bavaria Road.

Chaska High School hosted a Wacipi, commonly known as a pow-wow, on April 20. Local tribal members participated in the event, which kicked off "Pride in Diversity Week" at the school.

It’s not gone yet.

However, since the days are numbered for the McKnight Road bridge, we thought we’d post a few photos of the structure.

Anything that’s been doing its job every day for the past 96 years deserves some praise.
