The news the New Prague City Council received at its Monday, Oct. 19, meeting was certainly no treat as they were told the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) was suspending sidewalk work along the west end of Main Street for the rest of this year due to the cold temperatures. The forecast has temperatures in the 30s with snow and the long range forecast is not much better.

Area residents likely saw work going on at Sue’s Quilt Shop the week of Monday, Oct. 12. Over three days the building was receiving joint work and tuck pointing between brick and terra cotta on the front of the business. Crews from Simon Brick and Stone Co. out of Le Center were doing the work, at one point using a crane to reach the top of the building, which is around a century old.
“For that old of a building I can’t believe how good of shape it’s in,” said Brett Simon, owner and operator of Simon Brick and Stone Co.

I imagine that headline already has a few people thinking, “How dare you!” or “Bite your tongue!” The fact still remains we received snow on Tuesday and the temperatures in the area have been in the 30s for the last few days. Which is in fahrenheit, if it was celsius it would be around -1 degree.

Buffalo was the runaway winner, scoring 45 points. Following Buffalo were Chanhassen (118), Delano (132), Mankato East (152), and Worthington (158).
The Section Meet was split into five different heats in order to meet public health protocols.
