As we head into one of the most important election seasons ever, AM950 Radio is hosting an extra special Blue State Ball, from 1 to 4 p.m., on February 23, at Bauhaus Brew Labs, in Minneapolis.

This year is historic for two reasons: 2020 brings with it a highly-debated election season and it marks the 15-year anniversary of AM950 being on the air. “We decided it was time to change things up a bit,” says station owner, Chad Larson. “We feel this year calls for more fun and less formality, so we’re moving the event from an evening ball to an afternoon bash ...with beer.”

This year’s guest speaker is Thom Hartmann, national progressive talk show host and author of the new book, The Hidden History of the War on Voting: Who Stole Your Vote and How to Get It Back. Admission ticket includes light snacks, non-alcoholic beverages and Bauhaus’ famous brew as well as a signed copy of Hartmann’s book. Enjoy an afternoon of relaxation, laughter and mingling with Twin Cities progressives while listening to commentary from local show hosts and Minnesota politicians. The event will sell out early, so don’t wait to pick up your ticket.

Cost: $75/VIP tickets; $40/general admission. Location: 1315 Tyler St. NE, Minneapolis. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit AM950Radio.com/Featured_Events/2020-Blue-State-Ball.
