We will have viral sensation and comedian Jaron Myers perform for us after the Mass Event on Sunday night at the U.S. Bank Stadium (There is no mass event plus that night so you won’t be missing anything to come see him) and we have these sweet T-Shirts for you. The Jaron Myers show is only $20 per person and T-Shirts are only $15 per person but if your group does both, save $5 and it’s only $30 for both.
Please make sure to visit our
