You’re Invited to WMDX’s Listener Appreciation Party at Doundrins Distilling
In case we haven’t told you lately–we appreciate you! You who put on the John & Gordy show while you sip your morning coffee. You who passionately text an answer to Todd Allbaugh’s daily “what’s worse” question. You who wade through a crowd to find our WMDX booth at neighborhood festivals…
We couldn’t do this thing without you, which is why we want to celebrate with a listener appreciation party! Join us on Saturday, August 30th 3pm at Doundrins Distilling in Cottage Grove for a day of community and good drinks. Your favorite morning hosts, John & Gordy, will be there alongside some of the other folks from WMDX. It’s free to attend and everyone is invited, so mark your calendar!
Grab one of Doundrins fantastic craft cocktails and enjoy the laid-back atmosphere of their cocktail garden or tasting room. Try a sip of their cherry rum or get refreshed with a cucumber vodka spritz. Plus, they have beer, wine, mocktails and non-alcoholic beers for every taste. They even have a playground outside for the kiddos, and they’re dog-friendly!
