2026 Elk Toss Reminders

Recycled and revised information from old blog posts with a few reminders for people planning to attend the 75th Annual Elk Toss (February 28, 2026)...

1. Bring items to donate to the auction.
2. Bring non-perishable food to donate to the Danville-Riverside Food Bank.  
   
3. Bring Pot-Luck Food to share at the Wagner Farm.
4. Bring cash or checks (or bitcoin?) for the auction and event entry fees.We will also accept payment to DGS officers' Venmo accounts.
   
5. Bring a Drinking Vessel and your own beverages. The DGS was not able to get donations from local breweries like previous years, so we are requesting that this year be BYOB.
6. Wear Lederhosen or a Dirndl, or wear warm clothes and boots since we will be outside much of the day.
7. Please do not bring your dog to the Elk Toss.
8. 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.
9. Reserve a room if you want to spend the night in Danville.
10. Prepare to have fun while supporting some great organizations.
11. 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.
12. Check this blog often for updates on driveway conditions, weather, entertainment, etc. 
13. More information about the Elk Toss can be found on the blog, especially here.
