We make it easy and have the directories grouped by area. Just swing by the Chamber office between 9:00 & 4:00 any day this week, otherwise please call Maureen to set-up a time to pick a set up.

Celebrate Oneka Ridge Oneka Ridge Golf Course Wednesday, September 17^th 3-4pm The Rice Creek Watershed District and City of Hugo have been working closely with Oneka Ridge Golf Course to complete installation of a stormwater reuse irrigation system at the course, reducing the golf course’s dependency on groundwater for irrigation (by up to 50% or 15 million gallons) as well as improve water quality downstream in Bald Eagle Lake. These types of projects have been getting a lot of attention lately with all the controversy surrounding White Bear Lake water levels and potential solutions. Hear from the RCWD on how these changes may impact businesses in the area. Refreshment will be served. Further information is to the left under our Community Calendar.
