On Sunday, March 10, 2019, noon – 3 pm, celebrate the neighborhoods and urban forests of Rochester while supporting RNeighbors at Lumber Jack & Jill Forest Fest 2019.

Venture out to Kinney Creek Brewery (1016 7th Street NW Rochester) for an afternoon filled with flannel, beards, and logging fun. There will be raffles of Minnesota experiences to bid on, Neighborhood Awards to be given out highlighting some excellent volunteers, stacks of lumber-themed activities, and plaid photo ops will be throughout this woodsy event.

Our tree-hugging sponsors Kinney Creek Brewery, The People’s Food Coop, Bleu Duck and Canadian Honker have graciously donated a lodge to gather in, drinks to wet your whistle and tasty nibbles for all. Maier Tree & Lawn have sponsored a S’more station for campfire sweet treats.

Woodsy attire and whiskers encouraged. Come and channel your inner flannel with us in your best Lumber Jack & Jill-wear. There is limited parking in the back of Kinney Creek. Overfill parking is available very close by at Cooke Park, 722 7th St NW.

We wood log to see you there!
