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

Goodbye Lake Superior, So Long Lake Minnetonka: This Minnesota Gem Is A Freshwater Fishing Paradise

It's not for nothing that Minnesota has been dubbed the "Land of 10,000 Lakes." The North Star State is a fisherman's oasis, with places like Duluth offering access to Lake Superior, while folks in the Twin Cities can escape to Lake Minnetonka. Still, as serene as their natural beauty may be, summer crowding can be an issue. However, if you prefer a secluded fishing retreat off the beaten path and away from Minnesota's major cities, then say goodbye to these two destinations and hello to Little Jessie Lake. This body of water is located in Itasca County, in what is referred to as "Up North" by locals.

Holiday train to make two stops in Wright County Dec. 16

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. Each stop will feature a free, approximately 30-minute concert by Canadian singer-songwriters Jamie Fine and Shawnee Kish. Fine, an Ottawa native and five-time Juno Award nominee, has amassed more than 100 million global music streams. Her platinum-selling single “If Anything’s Left” helped establish her as a rising pop artist known for emotionally candid songwriting and energetic performances. Kish, a Mohawk, Two-Spirit singer-songwriter, blends country, Americana and rock influences with powerful vocals and personal storytelling. A four-time Juno Award nominee, she earned a 2026 Canadian Country Music Association nomination for Alternative Country Album of the Year. Her single “Ride At Dawn” reached the Top 50 on Billboard’s Canada Country chart. Visitors are encouraged to arrive early, as the Holiday Train traditionally draws large

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.

Maple Plain OKs assessment for reconstruction project

The Maple Plain City Council approved a special assessment as part of the 2026 Downtown Reconstruction Project at its Oct. 26 meeting. It was another difficult vote for the councilmembers in attendance, but all four were in favor of the assessment, which will help pay for improvements to infrastructure originally built between 1930 and 1960. “This is my 12th year as an elected and my seventh assessment hearing, and I’d say they’re always the hardest for me,” said Maple Plain Mayor Julie Maas-Kusske. “Knowing that every single person sitting in this room will be assessed at one point or another; it is not easy, it is hard, and I know everyone works hard for every dollar they have.” The city can assess specials at a rate of between 20 and 50 percent but has traditionally tried to split the difference at around 35 percent. “In particular with this project, the city covered everything we possibly could,” the mayor said. Most of the pavement throughout the project area has deteriorated to the point that traditional maintenance is no longer effective. Additionally, water main pipes are fragile and subject to breaks, according to a staff report. Also, the sewer pipes are susceptible
