We're excited to announce a special fundraiser for our nature trail project! 🌳 On April 25th, come on down to Drastic Measures Brewing, have a drink, and support the nature trail!
50% of all taproom sales and tips collected throughout the day will be dedicated to our trail project. This means every sip and every generous gesture will bring us one step closer to enhancing the Folkestad Nature Trail!
Money is needed for Class 2 gravel to top dress the wild life area of the walking trail.
