GrillFest 2024 was a sizzling success, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to share the highlights of this incredible event! As proud glass sponsors, we had the prime spot at the front gates, welcoming Minnesota Monthly event-goers of all ages and walks of life with open arms to a feast of fantastic offerings.

Saturday and Sunday were jam-packed with excitement, delicious smells, and happy faces. The air was filled with the irresistible aroma of burgers and smokey grilled meats, creating the perfect backdrop for a weekend dedicated to culinary delights. As our neighbors became friends we shared amazing fresh off-the-grill burgers and Brats, exchanged knowledge of our trades, smiles, and laughs. Even as the night closed out on Sunday with rain, Minnesotans still prevailed, seemingly unaffected by the rain, lines extended past our tent with culinary enthusiasts eager to experience the samples and products we had to offer.

Our booth quickly became a hotspot for attendees seeking to quench their thirst and satisfy their taste buds. We were delighted to offer samples of our THC beverages, which were a huge hit among the crowd. We enjoyed meeting new friends, some of them circling back to us multiple times to engage in conversation, laughs, and knowledge with our Event Staff! We also served up some popular Nebula Gummies, including holistic mushroom, CBD, and THC varieties. 

As we proudly sampled our favorite line of edibles Nebula, we enjoyed educating the community on the benefits of using earth’s natural remedies to help with common ailments. With effects ranging from focus and clarity, to sleep and relaxation, we had a variety of options for those that are experienced with THC or curious first timers. We were also happy to offer holistic mushroom and CBD options for our holistic attendees to indulge in.

As the sun shone brightly, the array of sparkling lemonades and refreshing summer-vibe beverages quickly became a crowd favorite at our Strains booth. The vibrant and fruity flavors were a delightful addition to the festivities offering a burst of citrusy goodness that kept everyone cool, happy, and hydrated!  We were happy to debut the new “Forbidden Fruit” sparkling lemonade which we deemed as, “The drink of the Summer ” as event goers confirmed the smooth flavor and refreshing taste.

We also debuted some gorgeous one-of-a-kind hardware. Each piece is carefully crafted with strokes of summer colors, flowers, and designs. We were excited to find homes for our culinary-designed cherry cake grinder, jade sherlock pipe, elegant shooter pipes, and more. The “Dr. Dabs THC-infused BBQ seasoning” was also a hit, inspiring smiles and gift ideas for Father’s Day or the grill fanatic in the family. 

In addition to delicious treats and beverages, we were excited to announce the opening of our Jordan Historical Caves at our Jordan retail location. Booming with major historical events like floods, fires, and mobsters, this new attraction adds a touch of history and adventure to our community offerings. The Jordan Historic Caves are open during regular business hours to all ages and are FREE to explore. 

GrillFest 2024 was a celebration of community and connection. We had a blast meeting so many wonderful people, sharing smiles and laughs, and creating memories that will last long after the grills have cooled. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, sampled our products, and supported us throughout the weekend. Your enthusiasm and positivity made GrillFest 2024 an unforgettable experience.
