Minnesota Quilters Lose Track Of Time Inside This Sprawling Fabric Shop In Hutchinson

Some quilters plan a quick stop for one fat quarter and leave hours later with a full bag and a new project in mind. In Hutchinson, that happens a lot. One shop on the main drag has a sale room, a second floor built for sewing, and a staff known for walking people straight to the bolt they need.

St. Peter Community Center to receive indoor playground

A proposal to bring an indoor playground to the St. Peter Community Center is moving forward on a divided vote. In a 5-2 decision, the St. Peter City Council backed a measure to spend $101,000 on the purchase of an indoor playground geared towards ages 5 to 12. A climbable course equipped with a slide and obstacles to squeeze through, the facility offers kids opportunities to climb, play and stay active during the long Minnesota winter. While council members generally agreed on the need for more indoor recreational opportunities for children, the debate centered on whether the proposed playground would provide enough value for its cost and if the city should save its cash for a more ambitious playground in the future. Recreation Director Ryan Yunkers said the playground would fill a gap in the Community Center’s existing recreational offerings, particularly for children who have outgrown Creative Play Place, which primarily serves toddlers and younger children. The project would transform space formerly occupied by Rock Bend Academy into an indoor playground designed for children ages 5 to 12, providing opportunities to climb, play and stay active during Minnesota’s long winters and inclement weather throughout the year. “I think it’s a
