It’s the Minnesota Twins versus the Detroit Tigers at the amazing Target Field in downtown Minneapolis, and with 1,000 tickets reserved for the World Series and the Twin Cities gay community, the rainbow flags will be flying high.
Tickets are $40, including a special T-shirt. You’ll be able to pick up the tickets and your T-shirt when you register on-site for the tournament here in the Twin Cities. (In other words, ignore the August 2 that’s listed on Lavender’s website.)

Great news and a great opportunity!

UPDATE: Congrats to Brian from Wisconsin for winning this cruise. We expect lots of photos! And, again, a huge thank you to RSVP Vacations for making this possible.

We just added the ability to sign up for email updates related to the 2012 World Series.

Our goal is to keep you informed and help you plan for a great time here in Minneapolis and St Paul.
Thanks to all of you, we’re 25% of the way toward our goal of raising the $200,000 needed to produce the 2012 World Series. Help us keep the momentum going: Click the image above to be directed to our secure donation site.
You helped us raise about $3,800 yesterday through the beer bust and silent auction. Nice!
The majority of that was the result of great participation in the auction. THANK YOU to the many people and Twin Cities Goodtimes Softball League teams who donated items, and of course thank you to the people who bid on the items, too.
