TO GREAT CITIES AND ONE
AMAZING CAUSE, COMING BACK FOR
A SECOND SUMMER, CELEBRATING A
DAY OF GIVING WITH THE GENEROUS
SUPPORT OF COMPANIES THAT HAVE
STEPPED UP TO HELP.
WE BEGIN WITH JASON ACROSS THE
RIVER AT BAD WEATHER BREWING.
Reporter: HOW MUCH FUN WAS
THIS LAST YEAR?
PHENOMENAL RIGHT?
ABSOLUTELY.
Reporter: IT WAS THE BEST,
ENJOYABLE LAST YEAR, GREAT
COMPETITION BUT THE BEST PART
IS HOW MUCH MONEY WAS RAISED.
WE ARE RIGHT AT THE HEART OF
ST. PAUL, THERE IS A GREAT
CROWD.
WE HAVE KLONDIKE KATE, PLAYING
BAGS, WHY NOT.
WE HAVE SOME TERRIFIC BEER ON
TAP.
LAST YEAR WAS PHENOMENAL.
THIS TUG-OF-WAR, 20 TEAMS, THE
ROPE LITERALLY GOING ACROSS THE
MISSISSIPPI RIVER.
IT IS CRAZY.
NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS BEEN DONE
BEFORE.
ALL OF THIS IS FOR A GREAT
CAUSE, WE ARE PULLING AGAINST
EACH OTHER COMPETITIVELY BUT
PULLING TOGETHER TO RAISE MONEY
FOR FRAZIER.
SEBASTIAN, BAD WEATHER, ST.
PAUL, A REAL CONNECTION. WE
ARE RIGHT IN THE HEART OF ST.
PAUL.
WE HAVE BEEN BREWING SINCE 2013
BUT TWO YEARS AGO WE FOUND OUR
HOME HERE.
IT HAS BEEN FANTASTIC SINCE WE
MOVED HERE.
Reporter: YOU GUYS HAD MAYBE
THE UPSET OF THE NIGHT LAST
YEAR.
IT FELT GOOD.
I ACTUALLY WAS NOT PULLING LAST
YEAR, I WAS WORKING THE BAR.
WHEN WE TOOK THE VICTORY, I GOT
A PHONE CALL SAYING, WE TOOK
THEM DOWN!
WE ARE READY TO REPEAT AGAIN.
Reporter: LOOKING AT YOU,
HOW DID YOU NOT GET ON THE
ROPE? I HAVE BEEN DRINKING
MORE BEERS THIS YEAR TO TRYING
GET THERE.
TRYING TO GET THE WEIGHT UP.
Reporter: I AM TRAINING AS
WELL, A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK,
ENOUGH WITH THE BEER ON THE
NEWS BUT IT IS TRAINING.
SEBASTIAN THANKS FOR YOUR
SUPPORT AND THANKS TO WHAT BAD
WEATHER IS DOING.
IT IS THE MORNING TEAM, AGAINST
THE EVENING TEAM.
THE MORNING TEAM REPRESENTING
MINNEAPOLIS, I'M SORRY, THE
MORNING TEAM IS ST. PAUL AND
THE EVENING TEAM IS MINNEAPOLIS.
I'M ALL FLUSTERED!
SO MUCH MONEY HAS BEEN DONATED,
ONE MAN DROPPED $200.
THAT IS GREAT, ARE YOU
TRYING TO SWITCH TEAMS?
I WOULD LOVE TO BE ON YOUR
TEAM JUST TO BE WITH YOU AMELIA
THAT I FEEL LIKE I REPRESENT
ST. PAUL STRONGLY TONIGHT.
