We will see yall at the Barstool Open! ⛳️

🏌️‍♂️ The Bar Stool Open is happening downtown TODAY!

If you've never been, here's how it works: teams of four sign up and play a mini golf course that's spread out across 16 downtown businesses, each one creating their own custom hole. It's part golf, part bar crawl, part celebration of everything that makes downtown Burlington great.

The Paddlewheel has been running this event for 6 years now. Around 110 teams are playing this year, and every dollar raised goes to the Dave Wunnenberg Foundation. Last year the event raised nearly $8,000 for the foundation. 💛

The weather is GORGEOUS today, so even if you don't have a team signed up, get out there! Walk downtown, support the 16 businesses that built their own holes, grab a drink, cheer on the teams, and soak in what a great event like this does for our community.

Huge thanks to The Paddle Wheel Lounge for keeping this tradition alive, and to every downtown business participating today. This is exactly the kind of community Burlington is all about.

Registration is open until 10am at the Burlington Gym 129 S. 4th St!
