MISCELLANEOUS
REMEMBER WHEN
Collected by Don McNeil
Shakopee Heritage Society,

30 years ago...
From the Shakopee Valley
News, 1982
Shakopee has been chosen
among American cities as
the site for the National
Consumer Education Week
kickoff on April 26. President
Reagan has already signed
a proclamation and so has
Gov. Al Quie, who will read
his proclamation during a
ceremony at 1:30 p.m. April
26 at the First National Bank
of Shakopee. Shakopee was
chosen as the site because
this is where Consumer
Education Week first started,
said Virgil Mears, who
coordinates the program for
Shakopee Independent School
District 720.
Toro Co. of Bloomington
has announced tentative
plans to sell its Shakopee
Die-Casting facility as part
of an overall consolidation
of operations in Minnesota,
Iowa and Wisconsin. Toro
is the largest independent
marketer and manufacturer
of snow removal and lawn
equipment in the county.
Erratic snowfall and tight
economy over the past
couple years are largely
responsible for the $20
million in losses realized
over the last 18 months.
Citizens of Shakopee,
which Cable TV system
is best for you? We
believe it is Progress
Valley Totalvision...local
ownership, most advanced
system, programming and
lowest monthly rates. If
you are thinking about
cable TV, why not think
about the costs involved,
the difference between PVT
Cable and Zylistra Cable,
and come the public hearing
April 27 at 7 p.m. at the high
school cafeteria.
