The Medford parade float has been canceled for the parade due to lack of volunteers. Sorry!

Happy Summer! We have 2 parades that we will be participating in this summer and we are looking for volunteers from the Union to help with our entry in the parades and making the "float" (err, otherwise known as decorating the trailer) -- Heritage Days (Faribault) on June 13 and Straight River Days (Medford) on June 19th! Look for the sign up sheet in your building, or email us at "[email protected]" or FB message us about your interest. Children are welcome!!

We will have touchpoint prior to the parade, and share more details as we get closer, just let us know you're in! We hope to see you there!

SAVE THE DATES! We have two upcoming parades for Union members and family to participate in this June. We will be looking for help to make the float AND also for people to participate in the parade. These are family friendly (kid friendly) events. For now, just mark your calendars and in a few days, watch for the sign up sheets!

Well, now it's sad news. We didn't have enough interest for a team. We will keep trying, as many of your have expressed interest in a Union team. Fall sports are our next opportunity, Volleyball in Owatonna, and we will keep our eyes on Northfield too!

Any other ideas?

Thank you to those who are encouraging us, and even offering to volunteer!

*************
Great News!
We can also have a Co-Ed team - in Northfield!
Let us know via DM's or email's (see flier) if you are interested in being on the team, if we have enough people we will have a Co-Ed Softball team too!
(Also has games on Thursday evenings (sorry night shift!), just FYI).

Cancelled, due to numbers. See above post for more. We will keep trying and send us your ideas if there is a team you'd be interested in. definitely Volleyball in the Fall!

Softball anyone? Let us know by April 20th if you are interested, we need at least 9 MEN to form a team to play in the Summer team in Owatonna along with a Men's Tournament in May at the Spring into Summer event (that is replacing Smokin' in Steel). Sorry about the tight turn around, we are trying something new!

(I originally thought this was co-ed, so sorry for any confusion! Will watch for more co-ed things for future, promise!)
