What another amazing year at Twin Cities Oktoberfest!!! We are honored to continue to be part of this incredible event and grateful to have raised money for NAMI Minnesota. THANK YOU to all of our awesome voLOONteers this year!!

A Binachi Oltre XR3 with Ultegra DI2 12-speed drive chain, Vittoria Corsa gum wall tires, a Hub Co-Op insulted bike bottle and one awesome Dark Clouds bike jersey.

I appreciate @mndarkclouds.bsky.social taking into account my bike’s color scheme for the new awesome bike jersey. Much cheaper to be matchy matchy this way than having to change the bike’s paint. As I’m in 🇩🇪 now, I’m representing the “Everywhere” part of the Dark Clouds when out on the road.

A young support holds a scarf with a row of loon illustrations styled like sprites in a retro video game The post has text that reads LITTLE CLOUDS BRING BIG THUNDER NEW SPECIALLY-SIZED SCARVES FOR THE SMALL BUT MIGHTY

Scarves sized to fit shorter arms, smaller necks, the biggest hearts, and the best voices

A beautiful painting of a genderfluid Loon family heavily using blue and pink tones in the water. The top text reads "day of the transgender child" in cursive.

The Loons are a mile high this weekend, but that doesn't mean we're hunkering down. A brief 🧵 of stuff you can do this weekend along with fellow #MNUFC supporters:

From 12-4pm on the 27th in Loring Park, we'll have folks at Transforming Families' Day of the Transgender Child; @mnufc.com will, too!

We have two upcoming opportunities in October - Twin Cities Oktoberfest & buckthorn removal at Theodore Wirth Park! We are exited to raise money this year for NAMI Minnesota at TCO and remove invasive buckthorn on Oct. 11th.
