Minnesota Multisport Awards Party - Parties are good!
Well, maybe not all of them. But this one, which featured the presentation of the 13th annual Minnesota Multisport Awards, sure-as-heck was. There was no drunkenness, breakage, vomiting or fist fights. Instead, there was lots of great food, brew (Summit, no less!) and spiritus fermenti, which is Latin for "wine."
