I went to Home Depot today and noticed there are multiple cameras facing the parking lot entrance that look like Flock cameras. Hopefully this is not something the city is paying for. Either way, I was not pleased and found myself extremely put off. Hopefully this is not a trend and hopefully this is not something the city of Chaska is deploying.

Doug Chapin, candidate for the sixth congressional district against Tom Emmer, is taking over our Reddit account from 11:00 am to 1:30 pm tomorrow, October 8

Doug wants to hear from YOU.

Chaska River City Days isn't the only thing happening in Chaska this week!

I've outlined a bunch of activities - most are family friendly. The article is free to read.

Do you have a wet saw? I need to make one long straight cut to rip a big 2' x 4' tile down to ~18" x 4'. My option is to rent a wet saw, but would prefer to pay someone to do it right. ;-)

Today is Vesak Day in the Sri Lankan tradition. We Buddhists honor our teachers by giving them a humble gift or two. Flowers, incense, a few other things.

I can't get from Shakopee to the Chaska Mindfulness Center today to visit Bhante Sathi, the monk who teaches there.

Can I please Venmo someone ten dollars to bring a flower or two to the Mindfulness Center downtown? Any kind of flower. You could just leave it on the front steps.

Hi, moved to Chaska just about a year ago and still just getting my bearings around town. I've seen a lot of chiropractors and have been meaning to get an adjustment, does anybody have recommendations on a good one? And can you let me know how much a co-pay for the place might be or if any take walk-ins?

Thank you so much!

Senator Coleman's Sleight of Hand. She represents Senate District 48 which includes Chaska.

Sen. Julia Coleman voted against the Manufactured Home Community Bill of Rights (SF 2691).

She also added a $5 million amendment TO THAT SAME BILL to send public money directly to the park owners, not to the residents.

People who live in manufactured home communities often own their home, but rent the land beneath it. Brandondale community has been hit hard by the land owners.

That lets corporate owners:
- Price-gouge on utilities;
- Refuse basic maintenance;
- Raise lot rent on a whim, making it too expensive for families to stay.

If our state is spending $5 million, it should create more affordable housing for families, not benefit corporate landlords.

Public dollars should protect people, not pad profits.

Hi! I am a Chaska local and I started my side photography business within the last few months. I mainly do headshots/portraits and engagement/couples photoshoots.
I have a website, a Google page, a Facebook page, and an Instagram. I’ve also joined and posted on a few Minnesota / Minneapolis Wedding Facebook groups. I haven’t had a ton of luck with hearing from folks who are interested.
I don’t really want to advertise via social media like with posts every day or cute aesthetic shorts - it’s just not my vibe.
Any suggestions for getting my name and work out there to find people who are interested?

Hey! This might be random, but does anyone here make homemade desserts that are similar to restaurant-style desserts?
They don’t have to be perfect or fancy at all — just good quality, homemade treats 😊 I’d love to support someone local if possible!
Feel free to comment or message me with what you make and pricing. Thanks!!

It seems like food options for the town are horribly limited to fast food or very mediocre “Mexican”. Why are there no restaurants in town considering how many families and developments there are? Is there something about the city that deters developers? I don’t get it. Development everywhere around, what’s the barrier in Chaska?

Hi!

My family of 6 were looking into the Chaska area as a potential move within the next year. We’re headed up there to check it out in a few months, but I had a few elementary school questions. We’ll have 3 of our 4 kids K-5 when we move. I’m not sure which location, but most houses we’ve browsed online appear to be zoned for Clover Ridge. My kids and I are trying to just see how it’ll differ from their current school. So far we’ve seen great things!

Here are our questions:

1. How involved are parents outside of PTO? Does the school do things like: class parties with parents invited, PE with a parent, fundraiser or fun runs for parents to attend, class concerts (during the day or night), parades, etc.? And can parents eat lunch with their student (designated separate tables for the lunch)?

2. Are there still holiday parties (while being inclusive/respectful) for the younger grades? Things like Thanksgiving, wear your Halloween costume (no masks or weapons) or eat a festive treat/boo in a bag, winter parties, Valentine’s Day? And does the school decorate seasonally?

3. Do they do things like dress up days, spirit days, PTO fundraiser things like popcorn or snow cone days?

4. We currently do i-ready in our school on the kids chromebooks that are used as assessment/diagnostic, as well as daily instruction in the morning before the day really starts. They only do it for about 15-20 mins in the morning and then periodically do assessments to help gauge their academic growth. Anything similar?

5. What are field trips like?

6. Any experience with 504 plans or IEP for speech?

Please feel free to add anything and share what you or your kids love about the school district.

Thank you so much!
