Today's riddle: How do billboards talk? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Arrest Made In Eden Prairie Homecoming Game Shooting (patch.com) — Eden Prairie residents are learning more after police arrested an 18-year-old suspect in last week's shooting outside Eden Prairie High School's homecoming football game, which injured two teens. Local leaders, including the mayor and school superintendent, are responding with calls for regional gang-prevention efforts, security reviews at large school events, and firm rejection of online hate directed at the Somali community.
• How the Minnesota Top 25 fared in Week 6 (startribune.com) — Eden Prairie High's football team took its first loss of the season, falling 55–34 to top-ranked Moorhead after coming off a short week and an emotionally charged, resumed game against Minnetonka. Despite the setback, the Eagles remain highly ranked, with more big tests ahead as they try to rebound and stay in the state title conversation.
• Ear device patents for August 2026 (hearinghealthmatters.org) — Several new August 2026 hearing-related patents were issued to Starkey Laboratories, the Eden Prairie–based hearing technology company, alongside innovations from major global audio and medical-device firms. The piece highlights advances in hearing aids, wearable audio, and smart ear devices, including multiple Starkey patents on antenna designs, vibration control, and high‑frequency data communication that reinforce Eden Prairie's role in hearing tech innovation.
