Marco V Cigars - September Update

Marco V Cigars - September Update

 

Hello!

There are 2 events we wanted to give you a heads up on coming up in the next couple weeks.

The first one is Cigars and Baseball:

Cigars & Baseball started out 14 years ago as a tailgate party for a Twins game.

When you purchase a ticket to Cigars & Baseball, you’re not just gaining entry to Minnesota’s largest cigar party! You’re also helping to ensure that children with disabilities have the same opportunities as their peers, to enjoy the game of baseball.

All of the proceeds from this event will be used to maintain Minnesota’s Miracle League fields, which are made of custom-designed, rubberized turf that accommodates wheelchairs and other assertive devices, while helping to prevent injuries. These special fields eliminate the barriers that keep kids off the baseball field and allow them to experience the joy of America’s favorite past time—baseball!

From Cigars and Baseball website:

In 2010, a small group of loyal Twins fans and cigar-lovers, had an idea…
“Let’s have a Twins tailgate party and smoke some cigars with a bunch of friends!”
What started as a tailgate party, grew exponentially and five separate “Cigar Herfs” were held, each welcoming over 100 cigar aficionados.

Nearby restaurants, the liquor industry, and local breweries offered to donate. With their kindness, our cigar party became a major fundraiser for the Minnesota Miracle Leagues. We now had a new purpose, and a new reason to expand.

The First Annual Cigars & Baseball hosted over 300 attendees in 2013. Now, instead of just one cigar, ticket holders received SEVEN premium cigars. We welcomed food samples from metro area restaurants, plenty of drink options, live music, and an opportunity to bid on some cigar-lover’s favorite items at our silent auction.

And for 2024, we’re excited to be back at CHS Field!

The second event is a smaller, more intimate event called the 14th Hennes Herf!

The Herf was started in 2010 by the late Doug Hennes in the back yard of his home in Eagan, Minnesota, and has grown to become an annual event eagerly anticipated by more than 100 brothers and sisters of the leaf. The main theme of this event is relaxation and camaraderie, everything else is secondary - even the cigars. This event benefits ThreeSixty Journalism, a nonprofit program of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of St. Thomas co-founded by Doug Hennes. ThreeSixty Journalism uses the principles of strong writing and reporting to help diverse Minnesota youth tell the stories of their lives and communities.

We will be there and would love to chat with you!  You can learn more about the event here:
