Support the MnBS
The annual Picnic for MnBS members and guests will be held on July 12 from 1:00 pm – 6:00 pm. This event will be held at Rosetown American Legion in Roseville.
The MnBS will provide bottled water, ribs and pulled pork.
Members and guests are urged to bring something to share. The bar will be open with a cash bar and there will be $2 beers available on our patio.
Our musicians for the day are Retro Soul and the Westside Horns. The music starts at 2:00.
Stop by the MnBS tent to get your wrist band. Be sure and check out our new swag, the CD sale, renew your membership, let us know of address or email changes or just say hi.
Bring food (or cash) for the Keystone Services donation.
MnBS will reveal the 2026 Hall of Fame at the picnic.
We will need several volunteers to make this event a success- if you would like to volunteer: email lina@mnbs.org.
