With our International Turtle Races being one of the highlights of the summer, we'd be silly to not have an entire festival based around our favorite creatures!
Each June, our community comes together to celebrate summer. Like most communities, our summer festival is based around one of our local icons - ours just happen to be turtles. Turtle Fest features a wide variety of events and activities to suit the whole family! Whether you are up for racing turtles or checking out the Rodeo, there is something for everyone

This is the 26th annual Think-Off question–a classic philosophical quandary meant to inspire thinkers from all walks of life. Did winning push you harder to be your best? Or did losing motivate continued growth to overcome?
People of all ages and backgrounds are encouraged to submit an essay of no more than 750 words for a chance to win one of four $500 cash prizes and a weekend in New York Mills to participate in the live debate to ultimately answer the question, determined by audience vote. There is no fee to enter.

The Disgruntled Brewing formula is simple: Combine our slightly-gruff, admittedly never-quite-satisfied brewery, the world’s best ingredients, and then stand back and marvel as we produce one great beer after another. Ales. Lagers. Stouts. Wheat beers. Specialties. Seasonals. German. Belgian. Russian.
This is craft brewing set in a beautiful part of the state—a destination well worth the trip—love at first taste.

The event is open to the public. People are encouraged to come chat with the cookers during the day – they might just share their secret recipes! Concessions are available throughout the day with a serving line available after the judging is completed. Everyone is able to sample the ribs and chicken from all of the cookers, along with a variety of sides.
When: Saturday June 23, 2018
