WINONA, Minn. — Sheriff Ron Ganrude confirmed that no pop-up beer parties were identified being organized last week on social media. Nor did any parties materialize at sites where the parties were epidemic last summer. This year there’s been only one event — up the hidden Beaver Creek coulee north of Elba. It largely fizzled with a firm police patrol presence on back-country feeder roads to the site.
