'Twas the Night Before Elk Toss

From a few years ago, but still a classic...

Weather Update

It wouldn't be an Elk Toss without this:

In Danville, the snow is not supposed to start until later in the afternoon on Saturday, and it should be finished by about 1am on Sunday morning. So, there should not be too many issues with traveling to/from the event.

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.
