The North Star Guide

Drink Spiking is real - KNOW ABOUT IT.

The worst hangovers aren't always hangovers.

This Happens Everywhere — Know the Signs

1+ in 10 (*very conservatively*) have their drinks spiked: The symptoms are often confused with "having too much to drink," a bad hangover, the flu, etc. & the people who do it know exactly what they are doing - YOU should too. LEARN THE SIGNS & share with friends. You might save their life.

Visiting for the races? Know where the water, shade and help are. gather is a friendly place to regroup, refill and ask directions.

SUNDAY IS THE FINAL DAY — technical course races at Skansie Brothers Park
