Prohibition and Scott County

  • Intro Text 10-11 a.m. at Shakopee Community Center; RSVP requested

Seniors (55+) are invited to a free presentation about Prohibition and Scott County from 10 to 11 a.m. Wednesday, July 12 in the Community Room at the Shakopee Community Center, 1255 Fuller St. S. 

You could say it all began in 1673 when Increase Mather wrote “wine is from God, but the Drunkard is from the Devil.”  As of January 1920 anything over .5% alcohol became illegal in the United States. Nowhere was alcohol consumption more prevalent than in the cities, and Minnesota cities were no exception. But the excitement wasn’t limited to the big city; Scott County had its share of fun. Discover how Prohibition played out in Scott County. 

Please RSVP to Senior Coordinator Carla Kress at 952-233-9516 by Wednesday, July 5. Presentation is sponsored by McNearny & Schmidt Funeral Home & Cremation Services.

Submission Guidelines

Eligible organizations may request that the city promote events using city communication tools. Events must be open to the public and community oriented. Posting of event information is based on available space and available staff resources to make the posting. A request to display an event does not guarantee that it will be posted. 

Eligible organizations are government organizations; Shakopee-based, not-for-profit or nonprofit entities; and city-recognized service organizations and athletic associations affiliated with the Shakopee Parks and Recreation Department. 

City staff will not be responsible for the design of promotional materials. Ongoing or recurring events (i.e. monthly or weekly events) will not be posted. The city reserves the right to edit message information for space, clarity or content. If the city requires edits, city staff will inform the individual making the request.
