Description

PREPARE TO BE WOWED at Redeemed Farm, a stunningly restored 1902 farmstead and vineyard on 40 acres in Scandia -- located in the heart of the St. Croix River Valley. MINGLE: Start the evening with fireside drinks and live music with Prairie Anthem in a pristine outdoor setting complete with fireplace, vineyard, and gardens. Tour the farm at your own pace - including the French-inspired bridal suite and timber-framed groom's quarters. A cash bar will be available throughout the evening, with one glass of wine or beer included with your ticket. EXPLORE THE STORY OF CALVIN RUTSTRUM: Browse a historic tribute to Cal Rutstrum - a wilderness adventurer and author who lived in Marine on St. Croix from 1927-1982. Inside the chapel-inspired Stable, local artifact collector Mark McGinley will share his collection of original Rutstrum items, including his dogsled, canoe and paddles, camping equipment, letters, postcards, lanterns, and more. FEAST: Enjoy a casual buffet presented by Lake Elmo Inn with a range of dinner seating options - outdoors on the veranda, inside the stable or barn, or in a garden living space. Reserved tables are available for an added event donation. BID: Help us prepare to RAISE THE ROOF on the Scandia Water Tower Barn Arts & Heritage Center by bidding on Silent Auction items displayed in the Stable. RAISE THE ROOF WITH RIVERSIDE SWING! End the evening with a selection of desserts from Cafe Latte and lively entertainment in the historic barn with Riverside Swing. Dance if you're so inspired -- or sit back and enjoy the Big Band era of music. DRESS: We suggest semi-formal attire -- or come in your favorite Lindy Hop dress or suit ready to Raise the Roof in honor of the 1935-1945 Big Band era. ______________________________________ Tickets: Tickets include dinner, a glass of wine or beer, and music with Prairie Anthem and Riverside Swing.
