Events for August 17, 2026

BuckSlam is the Twin Cities' only monthly poetry slam, and this Summer, their new season is being held right down the hall in the Ox Taproom! That's right, BuckSlam is BACK for the 2025-26 season, in the Ox, every second Wednesday of the month. Up to twelve performers will duke it out in a two-round battle of poetry for a chance to win ONE ENTIRE DOLLAR and a shot at the crown. So grab a buck, grab a buddy, grab a beverage, and come experience some original poetry at 6:30pm.

Mahjong - your new hobby! Sign up today! Classes are taught by Lisa-Marie Stienessen who has taught thousands of people all sorts of new hobbies and skills. She brings this addictive game to you in a fun, relaxed environment to give you the confidence to learn the rules with ease.
All supplies are provided for you to learn hands-on how to play an entire game from setup to Mahjong!
This public class is on Monday, August 17 from 6:30-8:30 pm in the Ox Taproom.
