With urgency

The Urgency Room, a medical facility mix between "urgent care" and "emergency room," will open in early October on Denmark Avenue off Lone Oak Road in Eagan, the second one of its kind in the Twin Cities. 

Homecoming game

Eagan Wildcats battled the Rosemount Irish on Friday night. 

Taking aim

A central Wisconsin native, Nick Weiss, was practicing his archery skills at Walnut Hill Park off Lexington Avenue. When not hunting, he works as a personal trainer at Eagan Lifetime Fitness. 

Autumn beauty

Cool nights + sunny days = beautiful flower pots! 

Around the fire pit

Some Eagan Rotarians gathered at the Lone Oak Grill recently for a "Rotary After 5" social event. The days of outdoor seating are numbered...

Antique buddies

An old Police Car and an old Fire Truck stand together in the Fire Station 2 garage. Our local police officers and firefighters are friends and work together, too.  We're lucky to live in Eagan!

International understanding

My family and Christiane's family spent a wonderful weekend together. We spoke German and English together; we played together and went to church together.  Germany and America seem to have come closer together!
Auf Wiedersehen Christiane, Holger und Maximilian

Meiningen nach Eagan

My penpal since high school, Christiane, her new husband, Holger, and her son, Maximilian, arrived from Eastern Germany to visit us here in Eagan. Just 3 weeks ago, our family visited them in Meiningen for their wedding!

Pete & Re-Pete

Canadians. Strutting geese. Taking a walk. 

Talented beauty

Karen Kitchel, Executive Director of Cheerful Givers and Lisa Horn, Executive Director of the Eagan & Lakeville Resource Centers stood with Miss Minnesota, Nitaya Panemalaythong at the ZEST fundraiser event at Lost Spur Country Club on Thursday evening.  Nearly 300 guests, food vendors and live entertainment created a magical way to support resources for needy families in Dakota County.

All stacked up

A new, mini strip mall is emerging from the ground of a former abandoned gas station. This 4 store area stands on the corner of Cliff Road and Rahn Cliff Road. 

Rusty runner

Tired tractor. Cherokee Restaurant yard ornament. 

Packer Backer

These barn owners along Hwy 45 in Wisconsin seem to love Green Bay Packers player #12, quarterback Aaron Rodgers.  See other Barn Charm meme contributors here.

A healthy punch

James Midboe trained as a competitive boxer. Nowdays his goal is helping people with health and wellness through chiropractics and exercise.  He and four others started the new Mi5 Fitness & CrossFit Gym in Lakeville.  The sun shone on James at the Eagan Community Center pavilion.

Vintage vehicle

A beauty from the past. Market Fest classic car. 

Loaves & fishes

John and Diane Curlee invited Paul Harris donors from the Eagan Rotary Club to their house for a back deck, Friday night fish dinner. Good food, fellowship and fun!

Bizarre blue

It's amazing the cars one will find around Eagan...

Who are they?

Can you identify these 4 Eagan VIPs? You see them posing in front of a new firefighting vehicle.  The first person to name all 4 in a posted comment will receive a prize from me!

Harvest of Art Celebration

A big crowd attended the 7th annual Eagan Art House event on a perfect Sunday afternoon. Artists demonstrated Raku outdoor pottery firing, making pottery and other art mediums. Pottery students and other artists sold their art pieces while live music and ice cream topped off the fun, successful afternoon!

Basketball barn

A windmill. A Lakeville neighbor. A silo. A basketball hoop.

Last dip of summer

It was a sunny September day and maybe the last chance for Mike to swim at Schulz Beach until next summer. 

Nifty @ 50

Our friend, Steven, celebrated his 50th birthday with his trophy wife, Allison, and a load of friends and family members in their backyard.  Cheers, Steven! 

On fire!

This hotrod car with its flaming fenders and great condition drew my attention at Market Fest! Do you like the car?

Bienvenu 'a Eagan

Another school year has begun and Marie recently arrived from Belgium as the Eagan Rotary Club's exchange student. Bonne chance!

End of summer

Fresh vegetables and other produce abounded at Wednesday's Market Fest. Autumn seems to be at the front door....

Starting school

Our 4th grader and 1st grader were ready for the first day of school on Tuesday morning.  Parents everywhere seemed to post their kids' fun "first day of school" photos all over Facebook!

Through the brush

Hiking through a marsh, through prickly brush, I found this abandoned barn when returning from Wisconsin. See other Barn Charm meme entrants here. 

Eaganite & a German bride

My "East" German penpal, Christiane, invited our family to her wedding in Meiningen on Saturday. It was a fabulous, day long event in a 12th century castle. It's like a dream now since we just arrived at home after our European family vacation. 

Royal Wildcats

My longtime penpal, Monica in Liechtenstein, posed with her family in front of the Prince of Liechtenstein's royal castle in Vaduz. We spent several wonderful days with them but now it's just a fond memory of our family vacation in Europe.
