This could be great curling form, we wouldn't know. We dropped by the new Chaska Curling and Community Center and were taken with the magnificent changes to the humble corner at old 212 and 41.
We don't know anything about curling, most people don't. Friend Wayne in The Falls is a curler of note, we're told. You can see the attraction, sort of shuffleboard for scientists and very laid back and slow.... unless, of course, you're sweeping.
It was quiet on the ice the night we dropped by, but it's become a popular place and wonderful draw for the community and will host national events. Big doings are planned in the adjacent Fireman's Park during the upcoming Ryder Cup at Chaska's nearby Hazeltine National. Local folks hope to draw rich Europeans into town and relieve them of some euros and pounds. Shuttles every half hour.Stan remembers when local activities mostly involved a game of Sheephead at the VFW or a dip in the clay hole.
