The Smoking Gun is welcoming back football by hosting a Meat Raffle, on Sunday, September 10! Popular in Minnesota and Wisconsin, a meat raffle is just what it sounds like: a chance for patrons at their favorite local watering hole to bring home some meaty prizes – sausages, steaks, you name it. From 11 a.m. - 2 p.m., The Smoking Gun will give football fanatics and guests the chance to win hundreds of dollars' worth of individually wrapped, ready-to-cook-at-home steaks and meats. Winners will also be given the option to have their meat cooked at The Smoking Gun for an additional charge. The top prize is an A5 Japanese Wagyu– something that would cost hundreds of dollars at any steakhouse! Raffle tickets can be purchased on the day of the event either directly from waitstaff, or through select cocktail purchases. The Smoking Gun SD on Facebook / Instagram

Doggerel poetry is poetry marked as having a loose style and irregular measure, especially for burlesque or comic effect. It's also slang for badly written poetry with little "merit." (We disagree!) Kick off DogtoberFest with an evening of low-brow, overly-contrived, and badly constructed poetry. Win prizes for your lack of eloquence or surprise your audience with something approaching a cohesive thought! Poets and non-poets of all skill levels are welcome. We will start with some workshopping, then move to an open mic poetry slam. Prizes will be given away throughout the program. Light refreshments will be available.
