Great turnout at our Chili Fest—what a fun winter get-together at the Picklebarn! Lots of members showed up, lots of fun was had, and the chili (plus all those sides) did not disappoint. Honestly, everyone was a winner today. 🌶️🥄

Fun time at the Mankato Marathon 5K water station. Boy were we busy when the runners showed up but we were up for the job. Thanks to everyone who helped with set up, handing out water, and cleanup of the area after the runners passed.
