Free Red Bull Crashed Ice Event
Everyone in the Twin Cities seems to be talking about Red Bull’s Crashed Ice event taking place this Saturday evening in St. Paul. This wild sporting event features skaters racing down a surreal giant ice course built on St. Paul’s Cathedral Hill (and even shooting down the Cathedral steps). Qualifying events take place Thursday, 1/12 and Friday, 1/13 with the final race Saturday night at 7pm. The qualifying races and the final are free and open to the public. The City of Saint Paul has all the information you need to attend this unique event.

About Laura Wales
Laura, I’m trying to email this post to my Grandson & the email link doesn’t work.
The Guthrie deal is bogus – I just called the box office and they don’t know anything about it. I directed them to the website phenomnaltwincities.com and Guthrie said they’ve done it before and WEREN’T creditable.
