We generally meet monthly for technical presentations (2nd Thursday of the month, 6 pm, virtual), and monthly for socializing (varies). We no longer meet monthly for lunches, if you are interested in reviving this tradition please contact an officer.



Outdoor Social: Monday July 21st

Olmsted County Fair night! 6 pm.

My experience with going on Monday night last year was that on-site parking was easy and free, some of the food trucks were open (including the milkshake stand), and many of the animals were already present including horse showings. I’ve also been told that many craft projects will already be present, so we can do a scavenger hunt for projects by people we know.

Map here. At 6 pm we’ll meet at the parking lot (red star on the map, central to the “block”), and if you want to catch up to us a little later, try around the Graham Arena buildings adjacent to the green star on the south end of the fairgrounds.
