MARCH 10 Parks & Rec program registration opens 21 Egg Hunt & Candy Grab:

Hello, Shakopee! I am hoping that by the time this publication hits your inbox in March, spring will be in the air and you’ll be thinking about all the wonderful things you plan to do as the weather warms up. My mother, rest her soul, used to say spring is a time of refreshing or renewal as the grass, trees, and flowers all come to life again. It’s also a time of renewal for many of us as we get out and about to enjoy the natural spaces, trails, parks, community events and gatherings. Shakopee has a variety of entertainment venues along with outdoor dining options, with a lot of diversity when it comes to readily available fun and enjoyment. Adding to the fun this year is the Mystic Lake Amphitheater, which will be hosting its first concerts later this year. Our Parks and Recreation Department will once again be offering exciting spring opportunities that you won’t want to miss. Check out the options in the brochure portion of this publication, and follow them on Facebook ( www.facebook.com/ ShakopeeParksandRecreation ) to stay up-to-date on the latest events and happenings. With warmer weather we will see increases in pedestrian, bicycle, and motorcycle use. Please drive cautious, undistracted, unimpaired, with patience and courtesy. Spring also brings the Minnesota roadway construction season, which means delays, inconveniences, and re-routes. As frustrating as that can be, remember our construction season is limited and everyone is doing their best to work efficiently. Once the weather is warm, my family is looking forward to our annual gathering around a recreational fire with an outdoor screen, movie, snacks, beverages, and the loving company of family and friends. Regardless of what your favorite springtime moments may be, the Shakopee City Council and staff wish you a safe, happy season of renewal.
