We have been working hard getting ready for the Brainerd Everything Outdoor Youth Expo this Saturday, June 6th Crow Wing County fairgrounds in Brainerd. This event runs from 11 am to 3:30 pm, followed by the youth and adult raffles. The Elks food booth has food for purchase if you'd like. And we have a working ATM.

And just a reminder, we are doing a fundraiser for the Lakes Area Food Shelf. If you would like to participate that would be awesome! We were shopping last night to help with this community project. This is amazing opportunity for the expo attendees to help make a difference in the lives of community members that have been impacted with food insecurity.

We recommend bringing a carrying device, such as a backpack. They seem to work wonders for carrying the things that you would like to receive from the participating organizations that may be providing items.

Please be patient getting into the fairgrounds. We will move you through the wavier process as quickly as we can. Please only enter the South gate. All youth must be with an adult at all times.

Please share with friends and families that this is amazing opportunity for the kids. See you Saturday. And thank you to all the businesses, clubs, community members, our sponsors and volunteers that make this event happen. We truly appreciate having this opportunity to make a difference in our young youths' lives.

Thank you to all the organization that are attending this event. It is truly appreciated.
