Finnegans Looking for Volunteers for US Pond Hockey

Hockey is a very Minnesota sport and even more so when it’s played outside on our many ponds/lakes. Later this month, January 22-24 to be exact, the 5th Annual US Pond Hockey Championships will take place at Lake Nokomis and Finnegans is looking for 40+ volunteers to help out with operations and refereeing.

In appreciation of the volunteers Finnegans has pledged to provide, the US Pond Hockey Championships will make a donation to the Finnegans Community Fund. Click here to sign up as a volunteer.

Mankato Brewery in Mankato Free Press

“Plans being made for Mankato brewery” Tim Krohn, Mankato Free Press.

We’ve been talking to Tim Tupy a bit as he’s been planning his project and were holding off a bit until we had time to put together a good story. In the meantime, we got scooped by Mankato Free Press, mainly because we’re lazy and/or are far too preoccupied with drinking beer.  Yeah.

…and a nice nod to the brewing community in Minnesota…

Tupy said other state breweries, including the 150-year-old Schell’s, are a close-knit and welcoming community.

“The neat thing is everyone in the industry really works together and wants to give people a lot of choices.”
