This program will feature educational tales from the wrestlers about the history of professional wrestling in the state of Minnesota, as well as stories about F1rst Wrestling as a Minnesotan institution, interspersed with entertaining professional wrestling matches. This program will take place on Oakdale Library's back lawn, for all ages, and registration is not required. Bring lawn chairs and sunscreen and join us for an afternoon of fun!This program is presented by F1RST Wrestling and funded with money from Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.For more info, updates, and event announcements follow F1RST Wrestling at: @f1rstwrestling
