Today's riddle: What do you get when you cross an angry cow with an angry sheep? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Groves honored for 40 years of service to AVHS (hometownsource.com) — Apple Valley residents are celebrating longtime Apple Valley High School fixture Jeff Groves, who's marking 40 years as an assistant volleyball coach and decades more as an all-purpose activities leader. A 1987 AVHS graduate, Groves helped guide the Eagles through championship eras and lean years, and now oversees major volleyball tournaments as the program enjoys a renewed run of state-level success.
2. Donation Kiosks (aam-us.org) — The Minnesota Zoo in Apple Valley is asking for creative ideas to redesign its on-site donation kiosks, especially interactive displays that show visitors their collective impact. Local residents with experience at museums, zoos, or attractions are invited to share concepts, examples, and photos directly with staff, helping shape how guests support the zoo's future.
3. Duluth's new 7 Brew Coffee just opened and it is already causing traffic headaches (bringmethenews.com) — Apple Valley residents recently saw their own 7 Brew Coffee opening, which prompted a city warning about heavier traffic around the shop during promotional events. Duluth's new 7 Brew is now experiencing similar congestion, with city engineers studying fixes, offering a preview of how this fast-growing drive-thru chain's expansion across Minnesota may continue affecting traffic patterns.
4. Police Blotter (hometownsource.com) — A Rice County police blotter entry notes that a 39-year-old Apple Valley resident was charged by the Minnesota State Patrol with driving with a revoked license, adding to several pending cases. The rest of the report details unrelated incidents in Faribault and surrounding communities, including drug possession, domestic assault, and impaired driving charges.
