Another Elk Toss Parking Tip

As always, Van wants parking to go smoothly at his property. So, he emailed the following reminder:

“Please avoid the 4 acre drilling platform and 500,000 gallon toxic fracking solution pond next to the Wagner barn when you are parking your car.”

Not sure if it is true, but we still felt it was worth noting.

2009 Elk Toss is Scheduled

The 75th Annual Danville German Society Elk Toss, Winter Festival, and Charity Auction will be held on February 21, 2009. All events will be held in and around Danville.

This year promises to be an Elk Toss that is dumber than any of the other 74 Elk Tosses. If you do not attend, you will miss out on the stupidity that is the Elk Toss.

The most up-to-date and useful information about the event will be posted to this blog, so be sure to check back often.

Note: if you have access to a large and docile elk, please email us if that elk would be willing to be tossed.

2007 Elk Toss Charities

We raised a little over $1500 this year. This is less than last year, but still very impressive considering the weather caused a few people not to be able to attend. The total amount raised is the second highest in DGS Elk Toss history.

We will split the money between these charities (and maybe more):
Good Samaritan Mission of Danville
Centre Wildlife Care
Northcentral Pennsylvania Conservancy
Montour County Summer Concert Series

The final number will be posted here as soon as we get it and determine how much will go to each charity.

Thanks again to everyone who made the day possible.

Elk Toss Reminders #1

Here's what you should bring to the Elk Toss:

• Items to Auction
• Cash (or checks) to pay for events and the auction
• Non-perishible food to donate to the Danville-Riverside Food Bank
• Jeans to donate to the Good Samaritan Mission of Danville
• Food to share with others
• Lederhosen
• Ability to speak Pennsylvania Dutch
  

If you plan to stay in Danville overnight, you should book a room. We recommend the Pine Barn Inn. It is within walking distance of downtown, and they like Lederhosen.
