The Matsons of Chanhassen worked with Destiny Homes of Chanhassen to
remodel their kitchen. The challenge of their six-sided home made the remodel challenging but they love the results. A point of local
trivia--their home was once owned by Kevin Sorbo who starred in the
popular 1990s TV series "Hercules."

Boxing brings armloads of benefits
By Unsie Zuege
It’s a bitter cold January night, but here, inside this Chanhassen boxing and mixed martial arts gym, there’s a sweaty perfume that conjures memories of high school gymnasiums, perspiration-soaked T-shirts, and Icy Hot. More than a dozen men and women of all ages concentrate on punching the big black boxing bags in varying combinations of punches and jabs. They take turns holding the bags steady for their sparring partners. Overhead, from a speaker, Johnny Cash’s gritty weathered voice provides a fitting soundtrack.

A look back at 40 years of theatre, food and fun.
