You are invited to a party! Ski Hut is throwing a party for Chester Bowl at Bent Paddle- and we want you to be there!

This event is raising money for Growing Up Chester, Chester Bowl’s fundraising campaign to expand and renovate the Thom Storm Chalet. Our project is over 90% funded; will you help us get to the finish line?

The event, held between 6 and 8:30 pm on Thursday, September 4th, features live music from Barefoot Bluegrass, beverages available for purchase from Bent Paddle, and food available for purchase from the Rambler.

You can also win a e-bike and more! We are raising money at this event by selling raffle tickets. Ski Hut has donated TONS of prizes including a grand prize of an e-bike! The more $10 tickets you buy, the greater your chance to win, all while giving to a good cause! Plus, buying tickets could give you BOGO cards and other perks at Bent Paddle. According to state law, tickets can be purchased by cash or check only. Bent Paddle does have a cash machine on site.

Can’t make the event? You can buy your tickets in advance from Ski Hut (available soon, but Bent Paddle perks only available at the event), and you do not need to be present to win.

In the three years of the event, we have raised over $15,000! Will you help us make our dream of a new Chalet a reality? Every dollar raised directly supports the upcoming Chalet expansion and renovation! Ski Hut has also donated $30,000 to Growing Up Chester- thank you Ski Hut for your generosity!

The Chester Bowl team is growing! We are currently hiring for three positions- a Programs Manager, an Operations Manager, and an AmeriCorps Member. As Chester Bowl’s programs continue to grow, our staff team needs to grow as well. Therefore are replacing one recently vacated Manager position with two positions.  The AmeriCorps Member is a one-year placement.

Tonight’s concert (July 15) is postponed due to inclement weather, but we’re excited to announce that The Fish Heads will perform on the rain date: August 19 at Lincoln Park!

Unfortunately, this means that the concert series at Chester Bowl is complete for the year. The concerts continue for the next five weeks at Lincoln Park. The lineup is incredible, so we hope you head out there to check out the shows!

The Fish Heads haven’t played at Lincoln Park since the 80s, so let’s give them a warm welcome back this August!

We’re so excited to announce the 42nd annual Music in the Park Concert Series! This free, nine-week series features a wide variety of music in the park! Each concert is 90 minutes and begins at 6:30 p.m. The first 5 concerts will be held at Chester Park and the final four will be held at Lincoln Park. We are excited to support the Duluth Parks and Recreation Department for the Concerts at Chester Park.
