Bank commits $1M to Glencoe Regional health initiative

Security Bank & Trust Company has committed a $1 million lead gift to Glencoe Regional Health’s Center for Healing as part of its Local Return Initiative. The project, now underway, includes two additions to meet growing demand for advanced clinical services and help Glencoe-area residents access essential services and specialty care without traveling long distances. A fourth-generation, family-run bank with 21 locations, Security Bank & Trust Company emphasizes people, relationships and community. The bank credits that philosophy with contributing to its success, noting that when communities grow, the bank grows, too. Launched last year, the Local Return Initiative formalizes the bank’s longstanding commitment to giving back to the communities it serves. The $1 million gift, to be paid over the next five years, reflects a longstanding partnership between the organizations. It is the largest gift the Glencoe Regional Health Foundation has received from a business. “This investment directly impacts our customers and allows them to stay local for care and for healing. Glencoe Regional Health is a cornerstone of our community, providing 24/7 access to healthcare, supporting needs beyond the hospital walls, and serving as an economic engine for the Glencoe area,” said Gale Hoese, Security Bank & Trust Company

B-Dubs a GO in Waconia as new site opens doors

Buffalo Wild Wings GO has opened a new restaurant at 144 Depot Drive in Waconia, the brand’s latest expansion in Minnesota as it pursues franchise growth across the state. Locally owned and operated by Matt Knodt and Lacey Pavek, the newest Buffalo Wild Wings GO location is the first in Waconia. BWWGO is built around takeout and delivery, so it’s a smaller version of B-Dubs serving the same wings, sauces and dry rubs Minnesotans have known from Buffalo Wild Wings for decades, say the owners. The smaller GO format allows it to reach towns like Waconia that never fit a full sports bar, company officials said. “Minnesota has been home to Buffalo Wild Wings for decades, and GO is giving us a new way to grow the brand in communities across the state,” said John Dawson, president of U.S. development at Inspire Brands. “Waconia is a great example of how well GO’s smaller format fits a growing community, and markets such as St. Paul, St. Cloud, Alexandria and Red Wing offer the same kind of opportunity. We’re excited to partner with operators who want to be part of GO’s next chapter in Minnesota.” With more than 220 standalone locations open

The sights and sounds of the holiday season will roll through Wright County on Wednesday, Dec. 16, when the Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) Holiday Train makes stops in Buffalo and Annandale, bringing live entertainment and Christmas cheer while helping to fight hunger. Now in its 28th year, the brightly decorated train will visit Buffalo from 6 to 6:30 p.m. at Fifth Street Northeast, followed by Annandale from 7:30 to 8 p.m. at Downtown Park on Harrison Street.

A four-time Juno Award nominee, she earned a 2026 Canadian Country Music Association nomination for Alternative Country Album of the Year.

Traditional German Fare Has Filled The Tables At This 1930s-Era Tavern In New Ulm, Minnesota, For Generations

Ribs slathered in a house sauce so popular that people can buy it by the bottle to take home. That alone made me sit up and pay attention. Then I learned the ribs share a menu with schnitzel, spaetzle, red cabbage, and something called sauerkraut balls. The setting is a tavern that dates back to the 1930s, filled with old-world decor.

Wright County was the location of two surprise upset races on election night, Nov. 3. Newcomers in Districts 3 and 4 won over the incumbents running in the seats. In District 3, Ryan Dunlap triumphed over incumbent Jeanne Holland. Dunlap received 5,500 votes (51.97%) and Holland received 5,044 votes (47.66%). In a statement to Crow River News, Dunlap thanked the community for voting for him. “It’s an honor, and the messages I’ve heard from residents since the election have meant a lot,” Dunlap said. He said that he hoped to accomplish three main things once in office. “I want to keep the county’s finances on solid footing, with a strong reserve and a budget that doesn’t take more from taxpayers than it needs,” Dunlap said. He also said he wanted to make sure that county board meetings would be public and easily accessible to the public. Dunlap said his third goal is to be a commissioner that is available to the community. “I want to be a commissioner people can reach, and I’ll explain my votes so residents know where I stand and why,” he said. He also said he would make sure he would collaborate with the four other
