<strong>The</strong>re will also be two live<br />
bands playing throughout the<br />
event: <strong>The</strong> Meat Rabbits – a rock ‘n’ roll polka band,<br />
and the Johnson 5 – who play cover hits from the past<br />
few decades. If you head to the Sausage Fest Facebook<br />
event page, you will find more information and pictures on<br />
what to expect.<br />
In addition to this fantastic entertainment, there will be<br />
a celebrity judge sausage contest. That’s right, WDAY-<br />
TV anchor Kevin Wallevand, Clay County Sheriff Mark<br />
Empting, Head Women’s Basketball Coach of MSUM<br />
Karla Nelson, and WDAY-Radio host Bonnie Amistadi will<br />
be judging the best sausages in the region. You won’t want<br />
to miss your hometown celebrities deciding on who they<br />
crown the winner.<br />
I can’t forget to mention that Farley from BOB95 FM will<br />
be emceeing the whole event, so you know it will be a blast.<br />
Drake and his team have put a lot of thought into<br />
Sausage Fest and want to create a family-friendly<br />
Moorhead community event that brings people<br />
together. You will surely have a good time with all the<br />
events, games, and entertainment. So do yourself a<br />
favor and save the date.<br />
More and more people are learning about Sausage Fest<br />
each year, which is exciting. Not only for those who put<br />
on the event but for those who attend. “We have seen the<br />
event at a 20% growth year after year,” said Drake. That<br />
amount of growth in the short time Sausage Fest has been<br />
around is impressive, and I can’t wait to see what this year<br />
brings.<br />
Sausage Fest will be on September 30th from 2:30 to 8:00<br />
pm; you can find presale tickets on the Eventbrite website<br />
for $20 or purchased for $25 at the event that day.<br />
Drake shared with me what the good life means to him<br />
when it comes to putting on this event. “<strong>The</strong> <strong>Good</strong> <strong>Life</strong><br />
to me means being outside in Minnesota in the fall with<br />
a German beer in hand, watching kids and families and<br />
adults enjoying all the fun,” expressed Drake.<br />
Throw on your best German attire, grab the kids, and<br />
spend the evening celebrating community and good food<br />
and drinks. I, for one, will not be missing out. •<br />
