Besides the vibrant downtown, the championship sports teams, the award-winning schools, the state-of the art aquatic center, and the charming old neighborhoods, what makes Kasson one of the happiest places to live in Minnesota? 
According to the website, Only in Your State, none of those things were considered in their rankings.

The Kasson-Mantorville wrestling team went to the state wrestling tournament with two goals on Thursday. The first was the desire to earn the second Minnesota Class AA wrestling championship in school history.
The second goal was to dominate in the process.

The Kasson-Mantorville powerlifting team competed in the Whitehall High School State Qualifying Meet on February 27. The meet was a large one as 18 different schools participated with a total of 180 lifters. Even though all lifters competed at the varsity level, K-M was able to hold its own.
