Chaska may not be home to Kate Moss, Giselle Bunchen or Heidi Klum, but a quick glance at the fashions on display at the Chaska History Center paints a picture of women up on the latest trends at the turn of the 20th century.

Editor Mark W. Olson reveals the winner of the Herald's Kill the Messenger contest to guess when Highway 41 would reopen to traffic after floodwaters forced its closure on March 19.

When will Highway 41 reopen to traffic? Since the moment the bridge over the Minnesota River closed, Herald staff have been posed this question time and time again.

Most days of the week, Ben Theis is just your average 20 year old. He goes to school. He goes to work. He plays with the family pug Phantom. He’s a regular Clark Kent, if you will.

But come game day, the 2007 Chaska High School grad transforms from a regular guy into a caped crusader. Donning royal purple and gold spandex, Theis becomes Superfan, ready to engage crowds and cheer his Minnesota Vikings onto victory at a moment’s notice.
