Hi Dan,

When is the large curbside recycle day for residents?

Thank You

Bob

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the email. According to Rebecca Jones from Public Works (952-404-5360) at the city of Wayzata, Spring Cleanup 2008 is May 3rd. Residents are able to dispose of appliances, TV’s, Printers, Copiers, etc. for a modest fee. If you have yard waste you need to dispose of because you didn’t do a fall cleanup, it can be brought to the City Compost pile at the end of Wayzata Boulevard, past the Country Club, right before Highway 12 goes into Long Lake.

Please click here for the pamphlet Rebecca emailed to me, as it contains most of the details. If you have any other questions or concerns, please contact me personally at your convenience.

Dan,

Hello, I am a bride to be in August and I am interested in a lake side rehearsal dinner option in Wayzata. I talked to Sunset’s and I was told they do not take large party reservations, so I wanted to see if you had another suggestion? I am looking for a place that could accommodate up to 100 people for cocktails and heavy appetizers. I look forward to your suggestions!

Keri,

Thanks for the note! The suggestions Elisha (my wife) and I discussed are as follows:

Try Northcoast first, as they are in Wayzata. You could ask if they would be willing to rent out the top deck on the second floor that overlooks Wayzata Bay on Lake Minnetonka. If you Google NorthCoast Wayzata Reviews the word is they get about 3.5 out of 5 stars. I agree with that, as the couple of times I have been, it took forever to get served, forever to get the food delivered to the table, and they were indifferent. Lots of people rave about it, so don’t base your decision for a large party on my sandwich being late.

The second option is Bayside Event Center in Excelsior. I used to work there and they regularly had receptions and weddings lake side. Good food, good ambiance, Bayside also gets 3.5 stars when you search for a review. A third option which is not lake side is the Wayzata Legion, although it would be a strictly blue collar affair. The Conservatory at Carlson Towers will also accommodate a very nice event.

Let me know if you have success, and Elisha and I wish you all the best with your wedding.
