The Burnsville Festival & Fire Muster returns September 10-12, 2026, and this year’s celebration might be the biggest one yet. Three days of carnival lights, live music, fire trucks, food trucks, and a fireworks finale for the record books, all of it free to the whole community. Walser is proud to be back as a…
Brake problems don’t announce themselves loudly until they’re serious. A small issue left unaddressed can quickly become an expensive repair. But here’s the good news: if you catch the warning signs early, brake service is straightforward and affordable. Ignore them, and costs climb fast. It’s worth knowing the difference. Quick Links Sign #1: Squealing or…
Some traditions involve fireworks. Ours involves pink hearts and a very full donation board. People walk in to buy a car, and somewhere between the test drive and the paperwork, they accidentally become philanthropists. That is Shop for a Cause, and this year it worked better than ever. In June 2026, Walser customers across Minnesota…
