This week on Made in Minnesota, we’re talking with Danielle Byfuglien, Marketing Director for Kick’n Up Kountry.

The lineup is loaded, the VIP experience sounds like the way to do it, and yes, the campgrounds are still where half the stories happen before the music even starts.

Kick’n Up Kountry is coming up June 10-13, so this is your chance to hear what’s new, what’s can’t-miss, and why this festival keeps turning into one big summer party.

That road trip? Let’s agree to never speak of it again.

We caught up with Minnesota Twins radio voice Kris Atteberry to talk about the trip everyone would like to forget, the trade chatter that starts getting louder once June shows up, and the Commissioner’s latest proposal to the Players Association.

Kris brings the insight, the honesty, and just enough “what are we doing here?” to make Twins fans feel seen.
