Once upon a time in a faraway land, a fretful princess spent a night atop 20 mattresses, tossing and turning this way and that in the desperate hope of getting a little shut eye.

OK, so it wasn’t just a pea. And the princess wasn’t exactly your prototypical royalty. And there might have been an unexpected pregnancy integrated into the subplot.

Get the real scoop on “The Princess and The Pea” fairytale when the Shakopee High School Drama Department presents its fall musical “Once Upon A Mattress.”

More than 125 runners competed in the first ever Jack-O-Lantern 5K, sponsored by the Shakopee Parks and Recreation, on Halloween. The 5K was followed by a kids' fun run. See photos here.
