Beverage Policy for 2018

Danville German Society officers have been unsuccessful (so far) in obtaining donations from local breweries for this year's Elk Toss. We request that you BYOB for this year, and we will also be instituting a carry in/carry out policy for recycling. Please take all of your empty cans and bottles with you when you leave the Wagner Farm. We apologize for the inconvenience.

5 Days Until Elk Toss

The Elk Toss is this Saturday.

As of this morning, the weather forecast is looking pretty good. It should be cold with no precipitation. Perfect Elk Tossing weather. More details on the weather forecast will come later this week.

A reminder that the Elk Toss is more than just a fun event in February. It is a fundraiser for some great organizations. This year, we are raising money for the following groups:

The Gate House, Danville
Community Cafe at Saint Andrews Episcopal Church, State College
Hayden's House of Healing

To help with the fundraising, please bring items to donate to the auction and also money to pay for auction items and event entry fees.

Supposedly, this is a Party Elk, although it looks more moose-like, right?

8 Days Until Elk Toss

We wanted to remind you that the Elk Toss is on February 17, which also happens to be the same day as National Cabbage Day. Sauerkraut is made of cabbage. Coincidence?

In other news, should we invite Jason Kelce to the Elk Toss? Maybe he could give a speech to pump up the crowd before the Elk Toss? Let us know in the comments section.

9 Days Until Elk Toss

If you have not yet oiled your Lederhosen, this weekend would be a good time to do that.

The driveway was plowed yesterday with the help of Kevin the Peacock. Thanks, Kevin!
