We are currently working out ticket prices. Check back later, or better yet, get on our email list for updates (see form below).
Will this be a lot of fun?
Most definitely! Our inspiration is a event that’s been going on for 10 years in Vermont. Check that out here. They are definitely having fun! There are social events at local restaurants that add to the festivities. Our vision is to start something like this here in Minnesota!
