The Eden Prairie community is invited to enjoy a rich offering of local events this week, starting with the Eden Prairie Players' 20th Annual Collection of One Acts. These short performances, which promise a variety of themes, some adult in nature, will run from September 18 through 21 at the Riley-Jacques Barn. For those looking to witness the local theatrical talent or simply to enjoy a night out, tickets are available for purchase.
In addition to the arts, the Eden Prairie Police Department is hosting a Car Seat Clinic on Sunday, September 21, at Fire Station 1 from 9 a.m. to noon. No appointments are necessary at this free event; residents can come on a first-come, first-served basis. Families are encouraged to bring their car seats, manuals, and children to ensure their seats are installed correctly by certified technicians from the EPPD. According to the bulletin published by Eden Prairie, attendees should remain in their vehicles until assisted by a staff member.
Looking ahead to the following week, on Saturday, September 27, residents can take part in POUND for PROP, a community workout session from 8:30–9:30 a.m. at the Staring Lake Amphitheatre. This free fitness class, led by Community Center instructors, invites participants to intertwine their exercise with charity, requesting a non-perishable food donation for PROP (People Reaching Out to People). Props are not just for show here. They also contribute to a vital cause. Essentials like workout mats and water should be brought by participants, and no registration is required. For more information on the most-needed items by PROP, the community is encouraged to visit their website.
For those who desire to stay up-to-date with local happenings, Eden Prairie's official website provides a full calendar of events at edenprairie.org/Calendar. Additionally, should the weather threaten to dampen outdoor plans, citizens can rely on edenprairie.org/Updates for any weather-related changes to scheduled activities.
