The Magic Moments Ball hosted by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Minnesota is one of our annual special events.

The Spring Event & Silent Auction has gained the reputation of having wonderful and unique ambience and dining options with an equally unique and varied auction, along with live music.  This wonderful event, along with the fact that Big Brothers Big Sisters provides a very timely and vital service to the children and families of our communities, is the reason that people from central Minnesota representing all walks of life, attend.

Can't get enough of the Vikings? Avid sports fan? While we have had many donated tickets lately, we know that not everyone gets drawn or is able to attend the various games, so we wanted to pass along an inexpensive way for you to still attend the games. Ticket King offers several sporting  tickets (Vikings, Gophers, Wild, etc) at a very discounted price, some of them starting at just $5.00. Of course, the prices fluctuate, but we just wanted you to be aware of a great and relatively inexpensive resource for you! The link is below-so feel free to check it out!
