🎲✨ Fun, laughter, and a little friendly competition filled the room today at the Waconia Senior Center!

Our group had a blast playing Left Center Right—rolling dice, passing chips, and cheering each other on every round. It’s not just about the game… it’s about the smiles, the connections, and the joy of spending time together. 💛

Thank you to everyone who joined in and made today so much fun. We can’t wait to do it again!

🌾🚜 The Evolution of Farming 🚜🌾

Join us on Thursday, April 9 from 12:30–1:30 PM for a fascinating look at how farming has transformed over time!

Farming is one of Minnesota’s oldest professions—but it looks very different today than it did generations ago. From the iron plow to steam-powered tractors, and from crop rotation to modern fertilizers and pesticides, science and technology have reshaped the way farmers work and feed our communities.

Jayna Hulleman from the Carver County Historical Society will dive into one big question:
How did we go from small 160-acre farms with just enough livestock to survive… to today’s large-scale farms with thousands of acres and animals?

Come explore the history, innovation, and impact of farming through the years! 🌱
