Huge thanks to my Co-Chair, Dr. Abby Kroken for all her efforts in making this such a great event! See you all next year in Minnesota!

A little bit of science, a little competition, a LOT of fun!! If you have never played WhirlyBall… you’ve never lived!
What is WhirlyBall??? A game that is a combination of lacrosse, basketball, and hockey that is played while riding in souped-up bumper cars – What could go wrong??
