COMMUNITY BRIEFS
‘Tapping history’
coming March 11 to
Excelsior Brewing
The Excelsior-Lake Minnetonka
Historical Society will present “Pe-
ter Gideon: The Apple Wizard,” a
free presentation on the namesake
of Lake Minnetonka’s Gideon’s
Bay, at 7 p.m. Monday, March 11,
at Excelsior Brewing, 421 Third
Street. Doors open at 6 p.m.
Peter Gideon was an Excelsior
pioneer and horticulturist whose
crowning achievement was the
creation of the “wealthy” apple
that could withstand Minnesota

versial character for his time.
The history series takes place
once a month at the brewery.

Last day to visit
Excelsior ice castles
is Sunday, March 10
The last day to visit the ice castles
in the Excelsior Commons is Sun-
day, March 10. Closing day is de-
pendent on weather and subject to
change.
Hours of operation are 4-9 p.m.
Monday, Wednesday and Thurs-
day, 4-9:30 p.m. Friday, noon to
9:30 p.m. Saturday and noon to 8
p.m. Sunday. The venue is closed on
Tuesdays.
General admission tickets cost

The City of Excelsior has seen an
increase in parking meter revenue.
As of Feb. 19, revenue was just un-
der $55,000. Typically, at this time
of year, parking meters bring in
between $1,000 to $2,500. All pro-
ceeds will go toward Community for
the Commons, a local nonprofi t that
helps fund park updates.
Restaurants have also been ben-
efi ting from the event.
“The restaurants have seemed
to have been getting some good
results. Specifi cally we heard from
Maynard’s that they’ve just been
jam-packed from the ice castles, so
they’re very pleased with how things
are going,” said Amy Edwards, the
city’s event coordinator.
The polar vortex may have halted
operations for a couple days, but the
snowy February hasn’t otherwise
deterred business.
“Visually, [the snow] makes the
castles look even more beautiful and
impressive,” Edwards said.
Kerble
I’m a confident, outgoing, orange/white tabby male born Nov, 2014
who lost my home due to divorce. My foster mom says I’m friendly,
enjoying petting and brushing. Sometimes I sit in your lap, but
my Mom cat, Twitter, usually gets there first, so I’ll lie next to you.
I tolerate being carried, as long as it is in baby position. I door greet,
and I like window watching. I’ll play with interactive toys and by
myself with mice and balls. I use scratching posts and I’m properly
litter trained. I’m quiet, except when you are late for meal time. I’m
friendly with strangers, kind kids over six, and used to tolerate living
with a dog. Mom and I will be great company.
This cat and others are available at Cat Tales Rescue. Cats
have been vet checked, spayed/neutered, wormed, tested for
FIV/FeLV, have distemper and rabies shots.
Adoption fee is $199 for the pair. For further
information or to start the adoption process, leave
