Gotta Go Gotta Throw is hosting the 15th Annual St Paul Winter Carnival Disc Sports Festival which will be held January 23th & 24th at Como Park from 8 a.m. Saturday to 5 p.m. on Sunday. This Winter Carnival sanctioned event is a Disc Sports Festival, showcasing both Disc Golf and Ultimate Frisbee.

We already have 17 Ultimate Registrations for this year's Carnival!

Please join us at The Happy Gnome on January 6, 2010 at 7:00 pm for a pre-event party. $1 Surly pints and free appetizers will be provided from 7-9 pm. This is a great chance to get pre-registered for the event and hear about the new stuff going on this year. Bring your food donations. The Happy Gnome is donating their whole upstairs to us for this event. They are located at 498 Selby Avenue, St Paul, MN. Please email char@gottagogottathrow.com if you plan to attend so we can estimate how many people to expect (please show up even if you don’t get a chance to RSVP!)

The Disc Sports Festival Ice Bowl is a fundraiser for the 2nd Harvest Food Shelf of St. Paul. The “Festival” is for all those disc golfers gutsy, crazy, desperate, and fun-loving enough to join together in an act of disc golf solidarity.

Regardless of the weather conditions, the idea is to have fun, raise funds and food for a local food bank and dispel the gloom of winter.

We have been granted a rare opportunity to Winter camp overnight in Como Park. We are hoping to use this occasion to increase awareness and support for our fund raising efforts for 2nd Harvest Food Shelf.

The fee for camping is 30.00, Disc Golf is 26.00, and Ultimate is 26.00. If you do not pay the Disc Golf registration fee your marathon scores will not count for awards, and if you want to camp you must register to do so. Registered campers do not need to pay the Disc Golf registration fee unless they want to have a score recorded for payouts. All participants must pay at least one of the registration fees. All registered participants must take an active role in the fund raising efforts by selling raffle tickets or securing pledge donations. If you choose to camp you must register for and attend a free Winter Camping clinic at Midwest Mountaineering on Wednesday, January 20th at 6:30pm. The clinic is not closed to registered event participants so anyone can attend and it is free. Registration deadline for camping is 5pm, Friday January 22, 2010.

The Hole-in-One and Putting game will be set up, and we ask that everyone bring some non-perishable food items to donate. We will, as usual, be registering participants in a Super Bowl pool and offering 1st and 2nd place prizes to the individuals who contribute the most to the fund raising effort. Registration fees paid, cash donations, pledge proceeds collected and raffle tickets sales will all count toward each individual contribution.

We need volunteers to help run the field games, set up and maintain the course, and tend the fire. We need donations for the raffle prizes (re-gifting is entirely appropriate in this case). Please drop off any food donations you may have prior to the event at Gotta Go Gotta Throw in Golden Valley, at Midwest Mountaineering in Minneapolis or bring them to the Happy Gnome pre-registration.

The Happy Gnome is located at:
498 Selby Avenue
St Paul, MN 55102-1727
(651) 287-2018

Registration is also available on our website at http://gottagogottathrow.com/discgolf/2010-winter-carnival-c-73.html
