Social: August TBD

Ideas can be found here or invent your own. What would you like to do? Tell Tina. Suggestions submitted for August so far include:

-Canoeing/tubing down the Zumbro River from Zumbro Falls to Hammond, ~2-2.5 hours on the water. $20 per canoe, not sure on the cost for tubing, includes the cost of shuttle. If you bring your own boat, they'll apparently shuttle you for $5. They don't take credit cards but they do take checks. Saturday, Sunday, or a weekday afternoon (last launch ~3 pm?).

-Roadside clean-up, we could tag along with the Ski Patrol's cleanup if we wanted. This could be a weekend or weekday event.

-Go karts ($5/1 round, not sure about a discount for multiple rounds) and/or paintball at Skyline Raceway. According to their calendar, go karting appears to be available any day of the week. Paintball only appears to be available 4-7 pm on Fridays, 1-7 pm on Saturdays. If we do this, I'd appreciate an experienced paintballer volunteering to organize this portion. Skyline also has minigolf.

Want a K-Lug Shirt?

Our first batch of shirts came out rather nice, especially for the price. We have folk who didn't get in on the first order. Please browse the deals here, and contact Tim if interested. (We need a minimum order of 4) We can now order screen printed tees from this company as well
