❄️When life gives you snow, make a Paddlefish! ❄️

Shoutout to Team House of Thune for sculpting the coolest Paddlefish at the Minnesota State Snow Sculpting Competition—and taking home 1st place!🥇See the pupper in the back?? 🐶

This masterpiece was led by Jason Arney-O’Neil, David Aichinger, and Dusty Thune, sponsored by @paddlefishadventures. Jason currently works for @stpaulbrewing, creating incredible art, and also contracts with The Beer Dabbler as an artist. If you’re ever looking for graphic design for swag, a mural, or even a giant sculpture, hit him up—he’s the real deal! 🎨🍻

Now come on down to Paddlefish where the vibes are warm and the brews are cold! 🍻

🐕 “The water bowls are always full, the treats are top-notch, and the humans are sooper friendly. Can’t wait to bring my hooman back!” –Kada, Labrador Retriever

🐾 “They rolled out the red carpet for me...okay, maybe not literally, but I felt like a VIPup! 🐶” -Izzy, Beagle/Shepherd/Mutt

🐕‍🦺 “PupHub reviews don’t lie—this place is paws-itively awesome!” –Sparky, Golden Retriever

🐾 “5 Bones and a woofing good time! 🦴 Had Vikings game on so I could howl along in excitement and sadness. At least the treats here never disappoint!” –Skol, Golden Retriever

🏆 Paddlefish Hall of Fame Update 🏆

Have you (or someone you know) snagged a paddlefish? We want to celebrate YOU! 🎣
Our Paddlefish Hall of Fame in the restroom hallway currently showcases 14 incredible photos, and we’ve received an additional 8-10 submissions over the past couple of months that are just waiting to be printed and framed. Your photo could be next!

More Fun Facts About Paddlefish:
🐟 Paddlefish use their paddle-shaped snout to detect electrical fields from plankton, their primary food source.
🐟 They are closely related to sturgeons, another ancient species.
🐟 These graceful swimmers have skeletons made primarily of cartilage, like sharks.
🐟 Paddlefish migrate long distances upstream to spawn, similar to salmon.
🐟Paddlefish Brewery located in St. Peter, MN is a great place to stop, have a beer with friends and family, and laugh the night away

📸 If you’d like to be featured, send your paddlefish photos to [email protected]! Make sure to include the location and date snagged. Let’s keep growing our Hall of Fame! 🍻 If your photo is up, make sure to sign it and receive a special prize from behind the bar!
