Salad Toss Salad
In our relentless quest to provide the most enjoyable Elk Toss experience, we leave nothing to chance. This includes testing of the Official Danville German Society Salad Toss Salad. We are pleased to announce that the salad has been approved by our Salad Inspection Committee.
Elk Toss Tomorrow
Recycled and revised information from old blog posts with a few
reminders for people planning to attend the 75th Annual Elk Toss...
- Bring items to donate to the auction.
- Bring non-perishable food to donate to the Danville-Riverside Food Bank.
- Bring laundry detergent to donate to the Good Samaritan Mission in Danville.
- Bring Pot-Luck Food to share at the Wagner Farm.
- Bring cash or checks (or bitcoin?) for the auction and event entry fees.
- Bring a Drinking Vessel and your own beverages. The DGS was not able to get as many donations from local breweries like previous years, so we are requesting that this year be partially BYOB.
- Wear Lederhosen or a Dirndl, or wear warm clothes and boots since we will be outside much of the day.
- Please do not bring your dog to the Elk Toss.
- Organize a carpool and drive an AWD/4WD vehicle. The Wagner Farm driveway and parking area could be snowy, icy, muddy, wet, hard, soft, rocky, grassy, or moist. Driveway updates will be provided as necessary.
- Reserve a room if you want to spend the night in Danville.
- Prepare to have fun while supporting some great organizations.
- If you have a trophy from last year, please bring them back with you so that we can present it to this year's winner in that event.
- Check this blog often for updates on driveway conditions, weather, entertainment, etc.
- More information about tomorrow can be found on the blog, especially here.

In other news, the Elk Toss is 4 days from today.
If you think Mardi Gras is better than Fastnacht Day, then explain this:

Beverages
The DGS has once again arranged for some beer to be donated to the Elk Toss (Thanks, Otto's!), but it is not going to be enough for everyone. So, we are requesting that you bring your own beverages.
To cut down on waste, here is our official ranking of suggested beer containers:
To cut down on waste, here is our official ranking of suggested beer containers:
- Kegs (reusable)
- Growlers (reusable)
- Straub Returnables (the last brewery in the US offering reusable bottles)
- Aluminum Cans (highly recyclable)
- Glass Bottles (somewhat recyclable)
- Getting Hit by a Bus
- Plastic Bottles

Farm Food
A reminder that we appreciate potluck food to be brought to the Wagner Farm. There is electricity in the barn for crockpots. Please do not bring this flavor of Pop Tarts.

Driveway Update - February 15
From Mr. Wagner...
Rick Bork does a great driveway update. Although this is Minnesota, I highly recommend watching this update on driveway conditions. He's the best in the industry. "If you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes"...where does he get this stuff? Also, his shirt has his name on it! DGS, we need to do better. Elk Toss is in less than two weeks.
