There will also be a photo booth, activities, contests and more, but you need to

Not only will the 500 guests at the Winter Meltdown get to see Joe Nathan and have a few tasty 612 Brews, but they'll also get this fantastic pint glass on the right, designed by Brock Beauchamp. And if you attended last year, you'll see how well it complements last year's glass on the left.

There will also be lots of hot stove league talk, lots of Twins talk, special guests and some unbelievable raffle prizes that we'll detail tomorrow. But you need to grab the tickets because you CANNOT attend without buying a ticket early, there are no tickets sold at the door. (Not to mention the possibility of a sellout.) So...

Grab Your Tickets Now .

We just watched the second best moment in Minnesota sports history. Also I completely lost my mind. Fortunately, so did 612 Brew, because they have sponsored an additional 65 tickets available to the Winter Meltdown .

Also: Joe Nathan.

I don't know what else to say. The greatest reliever in Twins history is going to be joining us this Saturday at Brothers Bar & Grill (a two block walk from TwinsFest) and you COULD be there if you act super fast. Almost 500 tickets for this were sold prior to Christmas, and we thought we were sold out, but Brothers and 612 made another 65 tickets available for $30 apiece. I seriously expect them gone by noon today, so if you can't commit, I get it, but we'll see you next year.

If you CAN commit - grab your tickets here . Now.

Where: Brother's Bar & Grill

Who: 500+ Twins fans and special guest Joe Nathan

What: Hot Stove talk, great raffle prizes, two free 612 craft beers and a free Winter Meltdown Pint Glass.
