Tonight is the night, even with cold temps we will keep you warm by having inside space, unlimited samples, games and fantastic German food all for the low low price of $35.

We hope to see you there, enjoying a night out in our community and supporting a great cause. Money raised here goes back to our community each spring in the form of grants for local non-profits.

Show up, have some fun, support the Rum River Community Foundation and enjoy samples and food! That's a great deal!
