In the 10 years since the Cannon Valley Trail began operation, an estimated 600,000 individuals have travelled the 20-mile trail between Cannon Falls and Red Wing. The trail is heavily traveled by bicyclists during the warm months, and is groomed for cross-country skiing during the winter. Members of the trialâs joint power board, many volunteers, and trail users will mark the trailâs 10th anniversary this weekend, with a full day of activities designed to show appreciation to the trailâs many supporters.
Goodhue County is investigating a string of burglaries in several county communities. Authorities say several businesses in Zumbrota Township and Cannon Falls Township were burglarized over the weekend. The thieves made quite a mess along with stealing items. Unsubstantiated reports indicate that several suspects have been apprehended this week in the Twin Cities.
