Does anyone know anything about the hang glider with pontoons that flys over Eagle Lake? Just interested.

Does Uber operate in this town? Anyone looking for a potential roommate? What's the weather like in the summer? Are people nice here?

Normally I am back at the house in Willmar, yet for two weeks I am out of town and not able to drive back to remove snow.

Yet it looks like the storm moved south and most of the snow didn't get dumped on central minnesota.

I need to understand or be informed of how much snow accumulated in the city of willmar. And the NOAA website doesn't appear to have any data on willmar past October 2023.

​

So what are the accumulated totals so far in willmar? Because I got heat wire for the roof eaves plugged in and that needs to be unplugged if there is not enough snow to melt.

I have recently bought 2 used adult bikes from Facebook Marketplace. I will donate these to some people I know who are getting back up on their feet and need some basic transport. Been there - done that. If you have an adult bike in good condition collecting dust and want to sell it at a very reasonable price I may be interested. I do not have my own vehicle so it has to come to me.

does anyone know anything about this? i live nearby and would prefer to know if there are any shooters on the loose :-)

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said a 75-year-old man died after a deputy “shocked him with a Taser,” according to a statement released Wednesday.

The BCA said two Kandiyohi County sheriff’s deputies and two Willmar police officers went to Michael James Yanacheak’s apartment on Monday to perform a court-ordered eviction. When Yanacheak did not respond to demands to open the door, an apartment manager forced the door open.

Officers say Yanacheak walked toward them with a kitchen knife and sheriff’s deputy Riley Kampsen deployed his Taser. The officers provided medical care, but Yanacheak died later at the hospital.

“At no time did anyone involved in this incident discharge a firearm,” the BCA said in the statement.

State investigators noted the cause of death is “undetermined pending further investigation by the medical examiner.”

A knife was recovered from the apartment. Deputy Kampsen and the Willmar police officers were wearing body cameras and investigators are reviewing “all available” video.

The BCA is investigating and will send findings without a recommendation on charges to the Kandiyohi County Attorney’s Office.

A funeral notice for Yanacheak said he will be buried in a private ceremony at Fort Snelling National Cemetery.

Court records show that eviction proceedings against Yanacheak were started in December. The complaint filed by Yanacheak’s landlords indicated he had occupied the apartment on Fifth Street Southwest since at least 2010 and said they gave Yanacheak a “non-renewal of tenant lease notice” in September.

He didn’t vacate the apartment and didn’t pay rent for November or December, the complaint said. Yanacheak did not appear for two court hearings in January, after which a judge granted the eviction.

I need to get my tools out and soon I will have some space to tear down a vehicle and rebuild it.

I know there a store on 71 going towards belgrade that looks promising, but towards atwater, and hutchinson is the geographic area that I would be willing to drive towards, as far out as marshall as well.

Not looking for luxury or another that isn't a decade old, no diesels, and I prefer to find something akin to a work vehicle that is at least a V6 if not a V8. Used vehicles are difficult to find, and I want something that will be practical.

Let me know, no dealerships or used car lots; its a project vehicle not turnkey. TIA

Potential job offer in Willmar and am just curious how it is to live there. I'm seeing all these posts about drive-by shootings and it's a little concerning. Also know someone who had their car stolen from Willmar this year. Seems a bit odd for a town in rural Minnesota.
