That’s right in a little less than a month 250+ plus people are looking to get muddy up on the hill. June 8th is fast approaching. We have obstacles to finish building, water tents to distribute, volunteers to acquire  and most importantly…mud to make. The band Big City will be playing from noon until 6. Silver Star is doing the beverage tent. The Coffee Mill Ski  Resort is selling Bar-B-Que. Pembroke Bakery is selling cookies. Plaid Productions will be selling T-shirts. And the Wabasha Ambulance and Fire will be providing safety and showers. This day promises to be filled with fun, laughter, and a lot of mud.  It will be a true test of endurance, teamwork, and fitness. The 5k mud obstacle course will be tough enough to challenge you, but easy enough to allow you to want to finish.

There is still time to sign up. Price is $65 to participate. Admission to come watch will be $5 for adults and $3 for kids (6-1). Free parking at the Ski Hill provided by Wabasha County Fair.

Hope to see you there!!

Starting May 2nd through May 12, the most exciting boutique is opening it’s doors. This combined with two other amazing Boutiques The Attic and The Woodshop makes Wabasha a must get to destination over the 100-mile-garage sale. Lots of vendors with everything from furniture to wine glasses to outdoor decorations fill the space with lots of other cool creations that are must haves in your home! See you there!!

Wabasha-Kellogg Chamber & CVB Hosting First Muddah Event: Grumpy Muddah 5k Obstacle/ Mud Run

Wabasha, MN, 03/28/13 — We’ve all heard of mud runs, obstacle runs, zombie chases and the like, but how about a Grumpy Muddah? What makes this one different you ask, simple; It takes place at the very home of Grumpy Old Men (John and Max).

Coffee Mill Ski Area makes the perfect place to host an obstacle/mud run. The hills will make it difficult, but the 15 obstacles will be fun and exciting for everyone. As soon as the snow melts, Grumpy Muddah will post photos of the course map and obstacles.

Those who would like to participate can go to the Grumpy Muddah website and register online. Teams of 5 or more are eligible for a discount of five dollars per person. Interested persons can also contact the Wabasha-Kellogg Chamber & CVB office at 651-565-4158 and register via phone.

WABASHA, April 1, 2013 – This Sunday, April 7th, RJAC will screen the classic film SINGIN’ IN THE

RAIN, considered by many to be the finest musical comedy of all time. The film was directed by

Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen and stars Kelly, Debbie Reynolds and Donald O’Connor.

Betty Comden and Adolph Green wrote this wonderful film about the time when movies

were changing from silent to talkies. The songs range from the hilarious “Make ‘Em Laugh”

performed by O’Connor, to the delicate “You Were Meant for Me” and the show-stopping

classic “Singin’ in the Rain” solo by Gene Kelly. Vincent Canby of the New York Times called

the film, “Extraordinarily exuberant, always youthful, and joyously indestructible. Enjoying

SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN has nothing to do with nostalgia or with sentimentality. It is simply stated,

a Hollywood masterpiece.”

The film was produced in 1952, runs 102 minutes, and screens at 2 p.m. at the Broadway

Theater in the Old Mittel Schule (Broadway at Hiawatha). Admission is free. For additional

information, contact Sharon Burke at 651-560-4040 or “like” River Junctions Arts Council on

Facebook.
